Abstract

The photoconductivity response of Mg-doped GaN thin films was studied in the time domain of 50 nanoseconds to a few milliseconds in the temperature range of 100K to 390K. The response time, defined as the time when the photocurrent decreased to half its maximum value, is in the sub-microseconds at room temperature, but increased to a few microseconds at low temperatures. The contact capacitance is suspected for this behavior. Slower decay components due to trapping at defect states were also observed.
