Abstract
Gallium Arsenide grown by molecular beam epitaxy at low substrate temperatures around 200°C (LT-GaAs) exhibits ultrashort lifetimes of photogenerated carriers in the subpicosecond range. In combination with its semi-isolating behavior (specific resistance up to 107Ωcm) and the high breakdown fields (500kV/cm) after thermal annealing (≈600°C) LT- GaAs is well suited for high speed electro-optical devices like metal-semiconductor-metal (MSM) detectors. In general an operation voltage is required for all devices. Therefore, it is essential to understand the influence of an electric field on the carrier dynamics.
