Abstract

In this paper we propose to use a combination of a modified isothermal Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (IDLTS) method with optical excitation and a filtering method of multi-exponential decays for IDLTS signal represented by a nonexponential transient capacitance. Excellent agreement with published results is achieved using this method for the investigation of a hole trap response (HL4) interfering with other traps in Schottky barriers that were fabricated on an epitaxial GaAs layer grown by VPE on bulk N-GaAs.
