摘要: A cluster model is proposed for the midgap state EL2 in GaAs based on a defect reaction similar to that of thermal donor formation silicon. Anomalous depth profiles defects bulk created by heat treatment have been quantitatively explained, assuming four point cluster. Possible candidates are discussed.
