Abstract

The study of an isolated grain boundary in n-InP has been carried out using I-V, C-V and photocapacitance measurements. The barrier height determined from the I-V characteristic was found to be 0.412 eV. While the thermal activation energy for conduction across the boundary gave a value of φ B = 0.438 eV the I/C2 versus V plot which was linear showed φ B = 0.421 eV. Study of the variation of grain boundary capacitance with different photon flux densities gave the grain-boundary density of states as 6.35 × 1011cm-2.
