Characteristics of the behavior of radiation defects in AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs structures

  • 1. A.F. Ioffe Physicotechnical Institute, Leningrad (USSR)

Description

Solar cells used in deep space suffer degradation. High-energy protons play an important role in this process. The authors report the results of an investigation of deep-level radiation defects created by irradiation of AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs solar cells with a monoenergetic beam of 6.7-MeV protons incident at an angle of 45 degree. The radiation defects were investigated by the method of deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS)
