Measurements of Hall effect and deep-level transient spectroscopy have
been made on Cu-doped p-GaSe. The moderately deep acceptor and shallo
w acceptor levels located at 0.13 and 0.04 eV above the valence band a
re obtained from the temperature dependence of the hole concentration.
The hole-trapping level at 0.14 eV above the valence band is detected
by deep-level transient spectroscopy and shows almost the same positi
on as the moderately deep acceptor level. We find that the shallow acc
eptor level of 0.04 eV is attributed to Cu atoms, whereas the moderate
ly deep acceptor level of 0.13 eV is governed by the defects or defect
complexes. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.
