<jats:p>Regions of low dislocation density (∼5×102 cm−2) in 2-mm-thick {001} wafers from indium doped, liquid encapsulated Czochralski grown, 2-in-diam. GaAs ingots have been examined by transmission infrared microscopy. Discrete dislocations were located and identified by their etching behavior in the calibrated A/B etchant. Comparison of identical regions before and after etching showed that increased absorption at 1 μm occurred at the sites of each dislocation. The results demonstrate directly that enhancement of [EL2], the concentration of the deep donor level EL2, occurs at single dislocations.</jats:p>
