Abstract

We present investigations on the two dominating acceptor levels observed in Cu-diffused GaAs which have frequently been attributed to the two ionization levels of a double CuGa acceptor. We employed plasma hydrogenation and lithium diffusion followed by reverse-bias and zero-bias annealing to passivate and subsequently reactivate the Cu-related acceptor levels. Deep-level current-transient spectroscopy measurements reveal that the two levels are independently reactivated, strongly indicating that they arise from different defects.
