摘要: The leakage current effects for the midgap levels in electron‐beam‐metallized (EBM) Al/GaAs junction were studied by isothermal capacitance transient spectroscopy. In this junction, a new electron deep level which might be due to surface defects induced during EBM process was detected. observed thermal emission time constants of and EL2 (Ec −0.81 eV) EBM‐Al/GaAs increased low‐temperature annealing up 355 °C, while density decreased down about 4×10−7 A/cm2. We represent that these behaviors could well explained effect Schottky junction.
