A unified approach is presented in the derivation of equations for the constant-voltage capacitance transient and constant-capacitance voltage transient in deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS), and for the relationship between them. The validity of these equations is independent of the device and nature of deep traps.

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.

AbstractWe report on a detailed investigation of MBE-grown isotype silicon-doped heterostructures by capacitance/voltage (C/V) technique and deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). A sequence of electrically active defects is found. By depth profiling of the density of the dominant levels it is demonstrated that the corresponding defects are concentrated at the GaAs-on-AlAs (inverted) interface. By comparison with studies on irradiation-induced levels in LPE- or VPE-grown AlGaAs we conclude that the defects at the GaAs/AlAs interface are most probably linked to different charge states of the arsenic vacancy VAs and VAs−ASi pairs.

ABSTRACTThe influence of in-situ electronic perturbations on defect generation during 150 keV proton implantation into biased silicon p-n junctions has been investigated. The concentration and spatial distribution of the deep traps were characterized using a modification of the double corelation deep level transient spectroscopy technique (D-DLTS). With the in-situ electric field applied, a decrease in concentration of vacancy-related, as well as H-related, traps was observed. 500 keV He+ implantation was also performed to supplement the above studies and to differentiate any passivation effects due to hydrogen. A model based on the charge states of hydrogen and vacancies was used to explain the observed behaviour.
