Abstract

Irradiation effects of high-energy electrons and protons, and 60Co gamma-rays on InP-related materials have been examined in comparison with those of GaAs and Si. Superior radiation-resistance of InP-related materials and their devices compared to GaAs and Si has been found by using deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS), photoluminescence (PL) and properties of devices such as solar cells and lightemitting devices. Moreover, minority-carrier injection enhanced annealing phenomena of radiation-induced defects in InP-related materials have also been observed even at low temperature of around 150K.
