TL;DR: In this article, a model for impurity incorporation is proposed which suggests that three factors which determine impurity inclusion are the AsCl3 mole fraction, substrate orientation and substrate temperature, and the major residual impurities giving shallow donor levels are Si, from HCl reations with quartz, and Group VI elements, and that Si incorporation on these surfaces is a function of the HCl pressure in the system.

TL;DR: In this paper, it was found that the optimum growth rate for these materials is about 6mm/hr with a rotation rate of 45 RPM, and the distribution coefficient for the solid solutions is close to one, so that only small lattice parameter variations were observed in the crystal.
