Magnetophotoconductivity of semi-insulating GaAs as a function of etching time

The magnetophotoconductivity of semi-insulating GaAs has been investigated for various etching times. We observed that the carrier lifetime of the illuminated region increases as a function of etching time approaching the bulk lifetime of the non-illuminated region. This was explained on the suggest...

Zusammenfassung:The magnetophotoconductivity of semi-insulating GaAs has been investigated for various etching times. We observed that the carrier lifetime of the illuminated region increases as a function of etching time approaching the bulk lifetime of the non-illuminated region. This was explained on the suggestion that the surface recombination centers gradually disappear as the etching time increases.
