Abstract
Abstract Positron annihilation spectroscopy has been applied to silicon-doped GaAs grown by molecular-beam epitaxy. Annealing SiO2 capped samples at 930°C causes the SiGa—VGa vacancies to become positively charged. The SiO2 caps cause oxygen to diffuse beneath the surface and the spectroscopy leads to the first measurement of the oxygen diffusion coefficient in GaAs. The application of a new analysis program ROYPROF reveals the creation of internal electric fields.
