Abstract

Undoped n-GaAs with a 300 K resistivity between 10−1 and 108 Ω cm (electron concentration between 1×107 and 5×1015 cm−3 ) grown in quartz crucibles by the liquid-encapsulated Czochralski (LEC) technique was investigated by thermally stimulated current (TSC), temperature-dependent Hall effect (TDH), and deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). Using Schottky contacts the TSC method could be extended to medium-resistivity samples. The strongly varying electron concentrations are correlated to varying TDH activation energies. The correlation between the donors dominating the electrical equilibrium properties and the electron traps detected by TSC and DLTS is discussed. Medium-deep and deep levels are present in this LEC material in such high concentrations that they must be taken into account in the compensation mechanism.
