Description

The electron traps in GaAs grown by MBE have been studied. The trap concentrations have been studied as a function of growth temperature (410-600 deg. C). This temperature range is much wider than the already reported temperature ranges. Previously reported M series of electron traps has been observed. EL2 is reported for the first time as a minority carrier trap in p-type MBE GaAs. Recombination calculation using measured electron and hole capture cross sections suggest that the electron traps M4 and ELl-Cr may act as non radiative recombination centres in p-type GaAs under low level injection conditions.
