Abstract

Electrical conductivity on GaAs thin film deposited by RF sputtering was measured, and temperature dependence was analyzed. The film has very low conductivity in the range of 10 -4 Ω -1 cm -1 , and the activation energy of the conductivity is 0.67 eV. The conductivity is strongly limited by the high density of deep oxygen impurity as well as by grain boundaries.
