Thin layers of μc-GaP and a-GaP grown on n- type silicon wafers by plasmaenhanced atomic layer deposition at 380 C are characterized by space charge capacitance techniques, C-V profiling and deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). Two defect levels with activation energies of 0.30 eV and 0.80 eV were detected by DLTS in the μc-GaP/n-Si structure. Measurements performed on Schottky barriers formed on n-Si after selective etching of the GaP layer did not reveal any defect level meaning that the observed defects in the μc-GaP/n-Si structure are related to μc-GaP layer.
