All majority-carrier traps were found to act as recombination centers. While the H2 traps present in the proton-irradiated p-InGaP was found to anneal out by minority-carrier injection, the other traps were not.

Times Cited Count:7 Percentile:41.34(Physics, Condensed Matter)Carrier concentration and defects in n+/p InGaP irradiated with 100keV-protons (1E10, 5E12 /cm2) were studied.As a result of C-V measurements, the carrier removal rate was estimated to be 6.1E4 /cm2 which was extremely high as compared to 1MeV-electron irradiation case (0.93 /cm). H1 peak whose energy corresponds to Ev+0.90V was obtained from DLTS measurements. This suggests that carrier removal rate in proton-irradiated ones is much higher than that in electron-irradiated ones due to the generation of the defects (H1 peak) which act as majority carrier traps.
