Abstract

Deep level admittance spectroscopy (DLAS) of the Sn-DX centers in Alx Ga1−x As:Sn (0.2 < x < 0.6) shows three peaks SNi, SN2 and SN3. The SN3 peak is identified to be related to the dominant peak of the Sn-DX center observed in the conventional DLTS technique. The SN1 and SN2 peaks are not easily seen in DLTS. A careful analysis of the DLAS data shows that the three peaks are not due to independent (chemically distinct) defects related to Sn, but they are caused by the multiple sates of the same DX center.
