Abstract—The paper considers physical and technological methods for preparing the surface of single-crystal indium antimonide (InSb) for molecular beam processes of synthesis of photosensitive layers. The influence of the main parameters of the grinding processes, pre-finish polishing with an abrasive suspension and final chemical-mechanical polishing on the surface quality, and the main parameters of plane-parallelism of InSb substrate plates was studied. As a result, surface morphology and subnano-rough relief (Ra ≤ 0.5 nm) were achieved on InSb wafers with a diameter of 50.8 mm, meeting the requirements of molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). An experimental technique for monitoring the quality and morphology of the surface, the main parameters of plane-parallelism of InSb semiconductor substrates, depending on changes in the main parameters of the surface treatment process, has been developed.
