Abstract
EL2 is an intrinsic, metastable donor defect which is important in making semi-insulating GaAs. Remarkably, even after a decade of intense investigation, the microscopic nature of the defect is still controversial. There are two models which must still be considered seriously, namely that EL2 is the isolated As/sub Ga/ antisite, and that EL2 also contains an arsenic interstitial on the [111] axis. This paper will comment on some of the experiments used to support each of the two models, and will discuss attempts to reconcile the two.
