J. Darmo et al., ANNEALING EFFECT ON CONCENTRATION OF EL6-LIKE DEEP-LEVEL STATE IN LOW-TEMPERATURE-GROWN MOLECULAR-BEAM EPITAXIAL GAAS, Applied physics letters, 72(5), 1998, pp. 590-592
A deep-level donor state with signatures similar to the EL6 level obse
rved in low-temperature-grown molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) GaAs grow
n at 250 degrees C and annealed in the temperature range 310-370 degre
es C was studied. The annealing kinetics of this level suggest a confi
ned pair recombination, likely V-Ga and As-i. A correlation between th
e deep level observed and recently published photoluminescence data of
low-temperature-grown MBE GaAs is found. (C) 1998 American Institute
