Abstract

Semi-insulating gallium arsenide has been irradiated by protons and by gamma-rays with different doses. The irradiation-induced deep level defects have been investigated by current transient spectroscopy to find their energy, capture cross sections and generation rate.Two electron traps at Ec+0.14eV(E13) and Ec-0.70eV(E4) and a hole trap at Ec-0.14eV(H2) in addition to the levels existing before the irradiation have been detected in the irradiated samples. These findings have been related to the performance of gallium arsenide charge particle detectors.
