Abstract
Transient photoluminescence has been used to measure the minority carrier lifetime on n-type and p-type InP wafers. The measurements show that unprocessed InP wafers have very high minority carrier lifetimes. Lifetimes of 200 ns and 700 ns were observed for lightly-doped p and n-type material respectively. Lifetimes over 5 ns were found in heavily doped n-type material
