Deep level defects in n-type GaN grown by molecular beam epitaxy

چکیده
Deep-level transient spectroscopy has been used to characterize electronic defects in n-type GaN grown by reactive molecular-beam epitaxy. Five deep-level electronic defects were observed, with activation energies E150.23460.006, E250.57860.006, E350.65760.031, E450.96160.026, and E550.24060.012 eV. Among these, the levels labeled E1 , E2 , and E3 are interpreted as corresponding to deep levels previously reported in n-GaN grown by both hydride vapor-phase epitaxy and metal organic chemical vapor deposition. Levels E4 and E5 do not correspond to any previously reported defect levels, and are characterized for the first time in our studies. © 1998 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~98!02910-6#

Low defect-mediated reverse-bias leakage in „0001... GaN via high-temperature molecular beam epitaxy
Conductive atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and x-ray diffraction were used to determine the effects of Ga/N flux ratio on the conductivity of current leakage paths in GaN grown by molecular beam epitaxy. Our data reveal a band of fluxes near Ga /N 1 for which these pathways ceased to be observable. We conclude that changes in surface defects surrounding or impurities alon...

CHARACTERIZATION OF NATIVE VACANCIES IN EPITAXIAL GaN AND ZnSe SEMI- CONDUCTOR LAYERS BY POSITRON ANNIHILATION SPECTROSCOPY
Point defects in epitaxial GaN and ZnSe semiconductor layers have been studied using a low-energy positron beam. Ga vacancies are found to be present in n-type GaN grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition, where the conductivity is due to residual oxygen. When n-type silicon impurity doping is done, clearly less vacancies are observed. In Mgdoped p-type and semi-insulating materials the...
