Search for: [Abstrakt = "The deep level transient spectroscopy \(DLTS\) method was applied to study deep centers in lattice mismatched InGaAs\/InP layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The composition and the strain state of the layers were determined using X\-ray diffraction technique. Electron trap with thermal activation energy EC – \(0.06 ± 0.03\) eV and electron capture cross\-section se = 9.0×10–19 cm–2 have been detected in In0.524Ga0.476As layers being under tensile strain. Additionally two other centers with thermal activation energy EC – \(0.10 ± 0.02\) eV, and EC – \(0.48 ± 0.02\) eV have been revealed in In0.533Ga0.467As\/InP layers subjected to small compressive strain. The electron capture cross\-sections of these traps, determined from emission processes, are equal to se = 6.7×10–18 cm–2 and se = 1.6×10–14 cm–2, respectively. Due to temperature stresses, defect states in the In0.533Ga0.467As\/InP layers are modified and the center EC – \(0.06 ± 0.03\) eV is created. This center is identical to that observed in In0.524Ga0.476As layers, as it has been confirmed by electron capture process measurements. The EC – \(0.06 ± 0.03\) eV state exhibits a point\-like defect character."]
