Abstract :
A technique for measuring the properties of deep states which trap minority carriers in the depletion region of a Schottky barrier is described. By combining minority-carrier capture and d.l.t.s. the method enables states to be separated according to their capture cross-sections as well as their emission properties. Results on GaP are described.
