We report the emission kinetics of a single-electron trap (E1, E
C–0.63 eV) in Sn-doped (
2
ˉ
01) β-Ga2O3 crystals studied using deeplevel transient spectroscopy (DLTS). The time constant (
τ
) of the electrons emitted from the trap level E1 was thoroughly investigated as a function of the temperature and the electric field (E-field) . The temperature-dependence
τ
of E1 was extracted by both the temperature-scanning and isothermal modes of DLTS. It was found that the emission process accelerated exponentially from 200 K to 350 K. The E-field dependence of the emission time constant could be divided into two regimes for all measurement steps (250–325 K). In the low-electric-field regime, the emission time constant of the trap decreased slightly with a strengthened E-field. With a further enhancement of the E-field (E > 1.76 MV cm−1), the field-enhanced emission rate was accurately modeled by the Poole–Frenkel effect; the accelerated emission process was attributed to a reduction of the Coulomb well barrier for the donor-like trap E1.
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.
