Electron beam probing of non-equilibrium carrier dynamics in 18 MeV alpha particle- and 10 MeV proton-irradiated Si-doped β -Ga2O3 Schottky rectifiers

Abstract

Minority hole diffusion length and lifetime were measured in independent experiments by electron beam-induced current and time-resolved cathodoluminescence in Si-doped β-Ga2O3 Schottky rectifiers irradiated with 18 MeV alpha particles and 10 MeV protons. Both diffusion length and lifetime exhibited a decrease with increasing temperature. The non-equilibrium minority hole mobility was calculated from the independently measured diffusion length and lifetime, indicating that the so-called hole self-trapping is most likely irrelevant in the 77–295 K temperature range.
