Abstract

We have measured the dynamic response of the photocapacitance of a Schottky diode made of an undoped GaN epilayer grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. The measurements were performed after the suspension of a white light for a specified "waiting" time, t. The results indicate that the capacitance exhibits a logarithmic function of t from which a time constant of approximately 34.5 s and a cross-sectional area of less than 2.89 × 10-27 cm2 were retrieved. These are interpreted the characteristic time and the cross-sectional area of electron capture by the traps associated with dislocations formed in the epifilm, respectively.
