Aa. Belyaev et al., Influence of microwave treatment on the electrophysical characteristics oftechnically important semiconductors and surface-barrier structures, TECH PHYS, 43(12), 1998, pp. 1445-1449
An investigation is made of changes in the electrophysical parameters of na
rrow-gap (CdxHg1-xTe x = 0.22-0.24) and wide-gap (gallium arsenide, indium
and gallium phosphides) semiconductor materials and Schottky-barrier diode
structures based on these materials, stimulated by microwave electromagneti
c radiation. It is shown that the parameters of materials and device struct
ures may be improved by defect gettering. An analysis is made of possible m
echanisms for the interaction between microwave radiation and the objects b
eing studied. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics. [S1063-7842(98)00912-
