Photon-assisted tunneling is used to study coherent properties of a charge qubit which is formed in an undoped GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure. We found the charge relaxation time T1 to be around 15 ns and the inhomogeneous decoherence time to be around 330 ps at an electron temperature of 280 mK. This may be slightly better than that previously reported for doped devices, considering its temperature dependence. We discuss the role of donor fluctuation on the charge state coherence and possible ways for making improvements in the undoped devices.
