Abstract

Deep level defects in epitaxially grown CdS/GaAs heterojunctions were investigated using transient capacitance spectroscopy. Five different electron and hole traps were observed in the heterojunctions with activation energies of 0.31, 0.47, 0.69, and 0.16 and 0.32 eV respectively. The emission rate, capture cross section and concentration of these traps are reported in this paper. Trap concentrations ranged from 1012 to 1015 cm-3 depending on the heterojunction fabrication procedure.
