We have studied nitrogen-doped ZnSe layers grown on p-GaAs substrates
by MBE using deep-level transient spectroscopy and admittance spectros
copy. A hole trap with activation energy E-v + 0.11 eV is attributed t
o a nitrogen acceptor which controls the p-type conduction in the mate
rials. The drift mobility was measured using a time-of-flight techniqu
e. Values ranging from 5 to 80 cm(2)/V s were obtained at room tempera
ture, depending on doping level. (C) 1998 Elsevier Science B.V. All ri
