| Overview | Indium antimonide (InSb) is an earlier and more in-depth III-V semiconductor material. Its crystals are silver, brittle and have a sphalerite structure. The lattice constant is 6.48 Å, which is a direct band gap material. Its band gap is narrow, 0.18eV, and the electron mobility is as high as 7800 cm2/V · s. It can be used to make infrared detectors, photo-magnetic detectors and Hall devices. |
| application | InSb single crystal has high electron mobility and is a good substrate material for infrared detector devices, Hall devices and magnetoresistive devices. For example, an imaging device and an InSb focal plane array device corresponding to a band of 3 to 5 μm of the atmospheric transmission window. |
