Abstract
A series of GaAs wafers with different doping levels and electrical resistivity has been used to investigate the scanning electron acoustic microscopy (SEAM) application to the characterization of this material. It has been found that SEAM is particularly useful to characterize semi-insulating GaAs as compared with n-type material. The SEAM signal generation mechanisms in GaAs are discussed.
