Extrinsic photoconductive characteristics of undoped, semi-insulating GaAs have been investigated, especially the characteristic enhancement effect at low temperatures. It has been shown that two quasistable photoconductive states exist, in which photoconductivity differs by orders of magnitude and that the two states are partly interchangeable by irradiating with an appropriate wavelength light. Spectra and temperature dependencies were investigated to elucidate the enhancement mechanism. Discussions are made on the basis of metastable states in As-rich defects.
