摘要
We study the effect of neutron irradiations on the capacitance hysteresis in n-type GaAs Schottky diodes with incorporated self-assembled InAs quantum dots. After irradiation the hysteresis shifted to higher voltages and the maximum hysteresis opening decreased. The voltage shift is attributed to a change in the effective doping concentration due to introduction of defects. The decreased hysteresis opening in the irradiated sample is caused by defect-assisted tunnelling processes.
