Recently, a scheme of capacitance-detection for the X-ray absorption fine structure (XAFS) has been reported which would widely expand the application of XAFS to defect centers with deep electronic states in a semiconductor /1/.
The possibilities and limits of an electrical detection are discussed. Special attention is given to the question whether capacitance EXAFS can selectively detect strongly diluted defects. The XAFS at the K-edge of gallium and arsenic is measured on GaAs and AlGaAs Schottky-diodes containing DX and EL2 defect centers. The X-ray absorption is detected electrically by monitoring (i) the photo-current under short circuit conditions, (ii) the steady state impedance, and (iii) X-ray induced capacitance transients. We do not find any significant differences between the electrical and conventional detected XAFS spectra and the suggested site selectivity is strongly questioned.
