The behavior of de levels in rapid thermal annealed Fe-doped semi-insulating InP(100) was studied by photoinduced current transient spectrocopy(PICTS). In bulk InP, T2(Ec-0.24 eV), T3(Ec-0.30 eV) and T5(Ec-0.62 eV) traps were observed. After annealing the T2 trap was annihilated at 20$0^{\circ}C$ and recreated at 35$0^{\circ}C$. T3 trap was not affected below 40$0^{\circ}C$. With increasing temperature the concentration of T5 trap reduced and it was annihilated at 30$0^{\circ}C$. However the T1(Ec-0.16 eV) and T4(Ec-0.42 eV) traps were began to appear at 40$0^{\circ}C$and these concentrations were increased with annealing temperature. The T1 and T4 traps seem to be related to the isolated phosphorus vacancy( $V_{p}$) and $V_{p}$-indium antisite( $V_{p}$- $P_{in}$ ) or $V_{p}$-indium interstitial( $V_{p}$-I $n_{I}$) respectiely.respectiely.

Effect of boron in GaAs have been investigated by photo induced current transient spectroscopy(PICTS). The starting material was undoped liquid encapsulated Czochralski(LEC) semi insulating GaAs and boron ion implantation at 150keV energy was conducted with dose of 10$\^$12/ and 10$\^$13/ions/cm$\^$2/. In ion implanted samples, the peaks related arsenic vacancy(V$\_$As/) were decreased but complex lattice defect was increased with annealing temperature. U band was observed at ion implanted(10$\^$13/ ions/cm$\^$2/) and thermally treated(550.deg. C) sample. More negative peak was detected after annealing at temperature between 600 and 700.deg. C. The measurement of dark current showed that the formation of B$\_$GA/-V$\_$As/, complex defect and complex lattice defect by ion implantation were a reasonable explanation for the decrease in dark current.

In this work the crystal structure, optical absorption and photoluminescence of Cd$_{4}$GeSe$_{6}$ single srystals grown by the vertical bridgman method are investigated. From the observed results of the PICTS, we proposed on energy band model which contains deep levels between the conduction band and the valence band. The energy band model permit us to explain the mechanism of the radiative recombination for the Cd$_{4}$GeSe$_{6}$ single crystals.als.

Recently, ZnO has received attentionbecause of its applications in optoelectronics and spintronics. In order to investigate deep level defects in ZnO, we used N-doped ZnO with various of the N-doping concentration. which are reference samples (undoped ZnO), 27%, 49%, and 88%-doped ZnO. Photoinduced current transient spectroscopy (PICTS) measurement was carried out to find deep level traps in high resistive ZnO:N. In reference ZnO sample, a deep trap was found to located at 0.31 (as denoted as the CO trap) eV below conduction band edge. And the CN1 and CN2 traps were located at 0.09, at 0.17 eV below conduction band edge, respectively. In the case of both annealed samples at 200 and $300^{\circ}C$, the defect density of the CO trap increases and then decreases with an increase of N-doping concentration. On the other hands, the density of CN traps has little change according to an increase of N-doping concentration in the annealed sample at $300^{\circ}C$. According to the result of PICTS measurement for different N-doping concentration, we suggest that the CO trap could be controled by N-doping and the CN traps be stabilized by thermal annealing at $300^{\circ}C$.

The GaAs epilayer was grown at low temperature (LT. 250.deg. C) by molecular beam epitaxy. The properties of the LTT GaAs, before and after Rapid Thermal Annealing(RTA), were analyzed by Reflection of High Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED), Double Crystal X-ray(DCX), Raman spectroscopy, PL and Photo-Induced Current Transient Spectroscopy (PICTS). The LT GaAs before RTA, was analyzed by RHEED and DCX, with a result of an improved surface morphology under a relatively As-rich(As/Ga ratio :28) condition, and of an increased lattics parameter of 1.1 1.7% in comparison with a GaAs substrate. However DCX and Raman spectroscopy revealed that the expanded lattics parameter and the crystallinity of LT GaAs could be recovered after RTA. On the other hand, PL spectra indicated that LT GaAs after RTA showed low optical sensitivity unlike High Temperature(HT) GaAs, and that its surface morphology and crystallinity were corresponded with those of HT GaAs. Finally PICTS spectra proved the fact that low sensitivity of LT GaAs was due to the deep level defects (Ec-0.85eV) which were strogly formed by raising RTA temperature to 750.deg. C.

HgGa$_2$S$_4$ single crystals were grown by the chemical transport reaction method. The HgGa$_2$S$_4$ single crystal crystallized into a defect chalcopyrite structure (I 4). The lattice constants of the single crystal were found to be a = 5.635 $\AA$ and c = 10.473 $\AA$. The direct and indirect optical energy gaps were found to be 2.84eV and 2.78eV, respectively. Photoluminescence peaks of HgGa$_2$S$_4$ single crystal were observed at 2.37 eV, 2.18 eV, and 1.81 eV. In the single crystal, the donor level of 0.25 eV, the acceptor levels of 0.97 eV and 0.41 eV were obtained by TSC, PICTS, and absorption measurements. The photoluminescence peaks were analyzed to relate to the indirect conduction band, the donor level, and the acceptor levels.
