Abstract
Deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) and thermally stimulated current spectroscopy (TSC) have been used to investigate defects in semi-conducting and semi-insulating (SI) InP after high temperature annealing, respectively. The results indicate that the annealing in iron phosphide ambient has an obvious suppression effect of deep defects, when compared with the annealing in phosphorus ambient. A defect annihilation phenomenon has also been observed in Fe-doped SI–InP materials after annealing. Mechanism of defect formation and annihilation related to in-diffusion of iron and phosphorus is discussed. Nature of the thermally induced defects has been discussed based on the results.
