Abstract :
The dewetting process, which produces crystals with improved structural quality, is described and the necessary conditions in order to get a stable growth are discussed. Based on the collected thermophysical properties of InP, calculations are made, showing that the process can be applied to the growth of single crystals, but that thechnical difficulties can be expected.
