摘要
Acceptors in liquid encapsulated Czochralski-grown undoped gallium antimonide (GaSb) were studied by temperature dependent Hall measurement and positron lifetime spectroscopy (PLS). Because of its high concentration and low ionization energy, a level at E-V+34 meV is found to be the important acceptor responsible for the p-type conduction of the samples. Two different kinds of V-Ga-related defects (lifetimes of 280 ps and 315 ps, respectively) having different microstructures were characterized by PLS. By comparing their annealing behaviors and charge state occupancies, the E-V+34 meV level could not be related to the two V-Ga-related defects. (C) 2004 American Institute of Physics.
