GaAs Photodetector for X-ray Imaging
We describe briefly a cheap and non polluting technique to grow epitaxial GaAs layers, several hundred microns thick, in a matter of hour. Detectors consisting of a p+/i/n+ structure have been realised with these...

Laser Annealing of Defects in VPE and Cz Grown Gallium Arsenide with a Pulsed Nd:YAG Laser
Gallium arsenide crystals, both VPE and Cz grown, were annealed with a pulsed Nd:YAG laser. Gold Schottky diodes were fabricated and defects were studied using the DLTS technique. The native defect E(0.83eV) w...

Electronic characterization of several 100 μm thick epitaxial GaAs layers
Non intentionally doped thick epitaxial GaAs layers, grown by chemical vapour phase epitaxy using a high growth rate, are characterized by different electrical techniques applied on a junction (forward and rev...

Mechanism of GaAs transport by water reaction application to the growth of thick epitaxial layers
We study in detail the decomposition of GaAs by water, and show that the growth technique of epitaxial layers based on this reaction can lead to growth rates reaching several μm per minute. This opens an econo...

Characterization of closed space vapor transport GaP epitaxial layers
The growth of homoepitaxial GaP layers using Te-doped GaP as source material has been obtained by the so-called closed space vapor transport technique. The photoluminescence study shows that these layers, when...

D.C Current-Voltage Characteristics and Admittance Spectroscopy of an Al-Porous Si Barrier
We present the temperature and frequency dependence of the current-voltage (I-V) characteristics of Al barriers deposited on porous Si grown on p-type Si substrates. These barriers exhibit a rectifying behavio...

Electric Field Enhancement of Electron Emission from DX Centers and Consequences
We present data which show that electron emission from the DX center is sensitive to the Poole-Frenkel effect. We demonstrate that this result implies that the DX center is an L effective-mass state of the don...

DX Center in GaAs-GaAlAs Superlattices Suppression and Identification
The DX center has been studied by Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy in series of GaAs-Ga1-xAlxAs (x = 0.3) and GaAs-AlAs short period superlattices. The existence or not of this center can be understood if its en...

Bistable Defects Induced in GaAs by H2 Plasma Process
We have studied the effect of an H2 plasma (150 W ; 150°C ; 10, 20, 50, 100 s) on unannealed and annealed (850°C, AsH3 atmosphere) LEC GaAs material. Using Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy , we have shown that t...

EPR Studies of DX Center Related Paramagnetic States in Ga0.69 Al0.31 As:Sn
The electron paramagnetic resonance study of the DX center in Sn doped direct gap Ga0.69Al0.31 As shows the existence of a shallow effective mass like excited configuration of this defect. The photoexcitation spe...

The Metastability of the EL2 and DX Defects in GaAs and 3-5 Alloys
The metastability of the EL2 and DX defects in GaAs and Ga1-x AlxAs alloys is discussed in the context of recent hydrostatic pressure and photo-EPR results. A unified model is presented based on the metastable tr...

Correlation of the 0.8 eV Emission Band with the EL6 Center in GaAs
Combined photoluminescence and DLTS investigations of semi-insulating and n-type GaAs before and after a 15min, 850°C heat treatment under AsH3 reveal that the treatment which anneals the EL6 center leads also to...

Thermal Stability of EL2 in GaAs
Different samples originating from the same LEC ingot have been used in order to determine the variation of the EL2 concentration versus depth after different types of thermal annealing ( 450 and 850°C : the t...

Study of Spatial and Energetical Behavior of Slow Si-SiO2 Interface States By Tunnel-Dlts Under Fowler-Nordheim Stress
We study the behavior of the spatial and energetical distribution of the slow Si-SiO2 interface states (i.e. the defects located in the strained SiO2 layer near the interface) when the Metal-oxide-semiconductor (...
