摘要
Defects in p-InGaP produced by low-energy protons have beer) investigated by deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). A new majority-carrier (hole) trap HPl has been observed in low-energy proton-irradiated p-InGaP at 0.90+/-0.05eV above the valance band for the first time. The HPl introduction rate for 100-keV proton-irradiated p-InGaP is 1500cm(-1), which is 6 times higher than that (260cm(-1)) for the 380-keV proton-irradiated one. Isochronal annealing is found to annihilate the proton-induced HPl defect above 300degreesC that is higher than the annealing stage (100degreesC) for 1-MeV electron-induced H2 center in p-InGaP. The carrier removal rates are found to be 61433 and 8640cm(-1) for 100 and 380-keV proton irradiation, respectively. Proton energy-dependent effects include decrease in both the carrier removal rate and in the defect introduction rate with increase in proton energy by creating HPl trap.
