Popis: We report a cathodoluminescence (CL) and photoluminescence (PL) study of molecular beam epitaxy grown GaAs at low substrate temperatures (LT GaAs), and semi-insulating LEC GaAs. The as grown LT GaAs material shows intense deep level emissions which can be associated with an excess concentration of Arsenic. These emissions subside with annealing for a few minutes at temperatures above 450 ° C. CL measurements clearly show an extremelly reduced concentration of traps in the post-growth 600 ° C annealed material. These results account for a diminished role of electronic point defects in controlling the insulative behavior of LT GaAs and strongly support the “buried” Schottky barrier model.
