TL;DR: In this article, a dislocation-free and striation-free semi-insulating GaAs crystal with 50 mm diameter was obtained by combining the following techniques; (i) dislocation free seed crystal is used to eliminate grown-in dislocations, (ii) the fully encapsulated Czochralski (FEC) method is applied in combination with indium doping to suppress stress-induced dislocation, and (iii) a vertical magnetic-field is applied to homogenize the distribution of doped indium.
