Abstract
Capacitance - voltage characteristics were studied at various temperatures for Schottky barriers formed on n-GaAs/ LT-GaAs/ n-GaAs sandwich structures. The characteristics were found to be step-like with a wide plateau originated from electron emission by different traps. Two types of the emitting traps were revealed. The one of them can be attributed to deep levels in LT-GaAs layers, namely EB4 and EL3. The other can be attributed to arsenic clusters supposing that each cluster can emit (or capture) one electron.
