Abstract

The native and radiation induced defects in lattice mismatched In 0.16GaAs and In0.58Ga0.44P are investigated. Subjecting lattice mismatched In0.16GaAs devices to thermal cycle annealing after growth shows a marked improvement in the open circuit voltage and a related trend is observed from Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements as a reduction in the electronic defect density. The role of these native defects in the evolution of the defect levels under 1MeV electron irradiation is presented and compared to data from lattice mismatched In 0.56Ga0.44 devices.
