Abstract

Electronic defect levels have been measured in n-type epitaxial films of Gal - XAIXAs (0≤X≤0.33) which were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Electron traps were characterized by transient capacitance spectroscopy on Schottky-barrier diodes. The thermal activation energy for electron emission from the near-midgap defect level is found to be larger in Ga1 - XAIXAs than the value of 0.83 eV generally observed in GaAs.
