Nonintentionally doped metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy Ga(1-x)In(x)P layers, having an alloy composition (x = 0.49) corresponding to a lattice matched to GaAs, grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition, have been studied by capacitance-voltage and deep-level transient spectroscopy techniques. They are found to exhibit a free-carrier concentration at room temperature of the order of 10(15) cm-3. Two electron traps have been detected. The first one, at 75 meV below the conduction band, is in small concentration (approximately 10(13) cm-3) while the other, at about 0.9 eV and emitting electrons above room temperature, has a concentration in the range 10(14)-10(15) cm-3.
