The results of analytical and numerical calculations of the low-frequency and the high-frequency barrier capacitance of GaAs epitaxial and ion-implanted structures fabricated on a semi-insulating compensated substrate are presented. The calculations are done for the samples in the dark and under extrinsic illumination. It is shown that the high-frequency photocapacitance of these structures exhibits a narrow peak, and the low-frequency photocapacitance has a positive peak followed by a negative valley. The underlying physical mechanisms are discussed. Methods for predicting the MESFET threshold voltage and extracting the concentration of vacant deep traps in the vicinity of the film–substrate interface and the epitaxial film thickness using capacitance–voltage measurements under extrinsic illumination are proposed.

Optimal capacitance-voltage characteristic is critical for heterobarrier varactor diode (HBV) performance in terms of multiplication efficiency in mm- and sub-mm wave ranges. Numerical model of capacitance-voltage characteristics and leakage current for HBV with arbitrary heterostructure composition and doping profile was verified on published data and original experimental results. Designed HBV heterostructure with three undoped InAlAs/AlAs/InAlAs barriers surrounded with non-uniformly doped n-InGaAs modulation layers was grown by molecular-beam epitaxy on InP substrate and test HBV diodes have been fabricated. Test HBV diodes demonstrate capacitance-voltage characteristics with cosine shape at bias voltage up to two volts, increased capacitance ratio and low leakage current values.

The results of experimental studies of capacitance– voltage characteristics, spectra of deep-level transient spectroscopy of graded high-voltage GaAs p+−p0−i−n0 diodes fabricated by liquid-phase epitaxy at a crystallization temperature of 900C from one solution–melt due to autodoping with background impurities, in a hydrogen or argon ambient, before and after irradiation with neutrons. After neutron irradiation, deep-level transient spectroscopy spectra revealed wide zones of defect clusters with acceptor-like negatively charged traps in the n0-layer, which arise as a result of electron emission from states located above the middle of the band gap. It was found that the differences in capacitance–voltage characteristics of the structures grown in hydrogen or argon ambient after irradiation are due to different doses of irradiation of GaAs p+−p0−i−n0 structures and different degrees of compensation of shallow donor impurities by deep traps in the layers.

Gamma irradiation method has been used to change the electrical properties of CdS thin film. A specific dose ofγ-irradiation increases the activation energy of CdS thin film. In addition,γ-irradiation was used to change the sign of Hall coefficient,RH, of CdS thin film from negative to positive irrespective of temperature. The Hall mobility mechanism shows noticeable change afterγ-irradiation from decreasing to increasing with raising the temperature. In depth, analysis was done using capacitance-voltage measurement in order to realize the modification in the CdS/Si junction band gap afterγ-irradiation. Several parameters were also studied such as charge carrier concentration,ND, and flat band potential,Vfb. Theγ-irradiation was found to increase the concentration of the deep traps within the band gap of the CdS/Si heterojunction.

Au/GaN/GaAs Schottky diode created by the nitridation of n-GaAs substrate which was exposed to a flow of active nitrogen created by a discharge source with high voltage in ultra-high vacuum with two different thicknesses of GaN layers (0.7[Formula: see text]nm and 2.2[Formula: see text]nm), the I–V and capacitance–voltage (C–V) characteristics of the Au/n-GaN/n-GaAs structures were studied for low- and high-frequency at room temperature. The measurements of I–V of the Au/n-GaN/n-GaAs Schottky diode were found to be strongly dependent on bias voltage and nitridation process. The electrical parameters are bound by the thickness of the GaN layer. The capacitance curves depict a behavior indicating the presence of interface state density, especially in the low frequency. The interface states density was calculated using the high- and low-frequency capacitance curves and it has been shown that the interface states density decreases with increasing of nitridation of the GaAs.
