A native oxide film is grown on GaAs by anodically oxidizing GaAs in a mixed solution consisting of aqueous tartaric acid and ethylene glycol. A homogeneous oxide film up to 8000A thick is obtained with a linear thicknessvoltage dependence of 19.5 A/V. The as-grown oxide is highly transparent in * Electrochemical Society Active Member.
A method to evaluate energy levels and densities of electron and hole traps in semiconductors from capacitance measurements on Schottky barriers and pn junction is presented. The occupation function for electrons at the deep level is derived, using Shockley-Read statistics for both forward and reverse biased junctions. The high frequency capacitance change before and after forward bias is applied is derived as a function of reverse voltage both for hole and electron traps. The experimental procedure to determine energy levels and the density of the traps is presented along with experimental results on silicon and gallium arsenide Schottky barriers and p+n junctions demonstrating the validity and limitations of the method.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
