Abstract
We have studied by means of deep level transient spectroscopy and photocapacitance measurements deep electron traps in undoped Ga1−xAlxAs of n-type grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition with 0≤x≤ 0.3. A dominant deep electron trap is detected in the series of alloys. Its activation energy is found at EC-0.8 eV in GaAs and it increases with x. Its concentration is found nearly independent of x. For the first time we observed for this level in the Ga1−xAlxAs alloys, the photocapacitance quenching effect typical for the EL2 defect in GaAs thus confirming clearly that EL2 is also created in MOCVD Ga1−xAlxAs.Keywords
