Abstract

The occupation of deep-level defects in semiconductors is investigated by delta-doping such impurities at a specified distance from the metallurgical boundary within Schottky diodes. Capacitance-voltage characteristics are analyzed using ID device simulation software. These characteristics change significantly depending on the deep-level energy and the sheet position. This new approach to deep-level analysis is applied to Schottky diodes on MBE-grown n-GaAs with a planar titanium doped sheet. At moderate Ti concentrations the well-known Ti acceptor level near Ec-0.2 eV governs the electrical properties. In addition, two other types of Ti defects are found.
