AbstractWe studied the characteristics of deep-level traps in p-type HgCdTe diodes using the Deep Level Transient Fourier Spectroscopy (DLTFS) method. For both holes and electrons, two types of traps were observed. The DLTFS signal intensity of one type of trap increased with the carrier density in the HgCdTe, while the other did not exhibit a monotonic increase. While measuring the stability of these traps during cooling cycles, the DLTFS signal intensity of the first group was almost constant while that of the latter fluctuated with every cooling cycle. Stable traps originated from Hg vacancies, unstable traps are attributed to vacancy-impurity complex defects.

AbstractThis paper is dedicated to electro-physical characterisation of a GaAs p-i-n structure grown for solar cell applications, which was carried out by light and dark current-voltage (I–V) and Deep Level Transient Fourier Spectroscopy (DLTFS) methods. The conversion efficiency and open-circuit voltage were determined fromI–Vmeasurement at 1 and 20× sun light concentrations. Three electron like defects TAn1, TAn2, TDnand one hole like defect TBp obtained by DLTFS measurements were confirmed. The origin of these defect states was stated as native GaAs impurities.

AbstractWe report experiments on hot-electron stressing in commercial III-V nitride based heterojunction light-emitting diodes. Stressing currents ranging from 100 mA to 200 mA were used. Degradations in the device properties were investigated through detailed studies of the I-V characteristics, electroluminescence, Deep-Level Transient Fourier Spectroscopy and flicker noise. Our experimental data demonstrated significant distortions in the I-V characteristics. The room temperature electroluminescence of the devices exhibited 25% decrement in the peak emission intensity. Concentration of the deep-levels was examined by measuring the Deep-Level Transient Fourier Spectroscopy, which indicated an increase in the density of deep-traps from 2.7 × 1013 cm−3 to 4.21 × 1013 cm−3 at El = Ec – 1.1eV. The result is consistent with our study of I/f noise, which exhibited up to three orders of magnitude increase in the voltage noise power spectra. Our experiments show large increase in both the interface traps and deep-levels resulted from hot-carrier stressing.

Abstract This article discusses the importance of analytical and experimental approaches in Deep level transient Fourier spectroscopy in terms of reliability, to support the current research and the utilization of this technique for complex investigations. An alternative evaluation approach is proposed and validated by relevant experiments. Attention is focused on a GaAs p-i-n structure, the undoped layer induced defect conduction type statement difficulty, accurate evaluation of a dual type majority-minority carrier defect complex and possible limitations of the DLTS experimental technique. Comprehensive evaluation is carried out and the method is discussed in detail. In comparison with reference data, higher precision of calculated activation energies, differences even lower as 10−3 order of magnitude, were achieved.
