ABSTRACTKinetics of persistent photoconductivity, photoquenching, and thermal and optical recovery observed in low energy Ar+ bombarded on (100) GaAs surfaces have been investigated. Rate and transport equations for these processes were derived and simulated employing transport parameters, trap locations and densities determined by deep level transient spectroscopy. Excellent correlation was obtained between the results of preliminary simulation and the experimentally observed values. The exponential decay of persistent photoconductivity response curve was determined to be due to metastable electron traps with longer lifetime and is consistent with an earlier proposed model.

AbstractEpitaxial layers of 4H-SiC are grown on (0001) substrates inclined toward <1120> and <1100> directions. Defects in these films are characterized by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) in order to clarify the dependence of concentrations and activation energies on substrate inclination. DLTS results show no such dependence on substrate inclination but show thickness dependence of the concentration.

AbstractDefect spectrum N(E) of porous organic dielectric (POD) films is studied with capacitance deep-level-transient-spectroscopy (C-DLTS) in the energy range up to 0.7 eV below conduction band bottom Ec. The POD films were prepared by spin coating onto 200mm p-type (1 – 10 Δcm) single-side polished silicon substrates followed by baking at 325°C on a hot plate and curing at 425°C in furnace. The film thickness is in the 5000 – 6000 Å range. The ‘sandwich’ -type NiCr/POD/p-Si/NiCr test structures showed both rectifying DC current-voltage characteristics and linear 1/C2 vs. DC reverse bias voltage. These confirm the applicability of the C-DLTS technique for defect spectrum deconvolution and the n-type conductivity of the studied films. Isochronal annealing (30 min in argon or 60 min in nitrogen) has been performed over the temperature range 300°C - 650°C. The N(E) distribution is only slightly affected by annealing in argon. However, the distribution depends strongly on the annealing temperature in nitrogen ambient. A strong N(E) peak at Ec – E = 0.55 – 0.60 eV is detected in all samples annealed in argon but this peak is practically absent in samples annealed in nitrogen at Ta < 480°C. On the other hand, two new peaks at Ec – E = 0.12 and 0.20 eV appear in the N(E) spectrum of the samples annealed in nitrogen at Ta = 650°C. The different features of the defect spectrum are attributed to different interactions of argon and nitrogen with dangling carbon bonds on the intra-pore surfaces.

Abstract A new technique for local deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) imaging using super-higher-order scanning nonlinear dielectric microscopy is proposed. Using this technique. SiCVSiC structure samples with different post oxidation annealing conditions were measured. We observed that the local DLTS signal decreases with post oxidation annealing (POA), which agrees with the well-known phenomena that POA reduces trap density. Furthermore, obtained local DLTS images had dark and bright areas, which is considered to show the trap distribution at/near SiCVSiC interface.

Fluence Range

In this study, 4H-SiC p–n junctions were irradiated with 700 keV He+ ions in the fluence range 1.0 × 1012 to 1.0 × 1015 ions/cm2. The effects of irradiation were investigated by current–voltage (I–V) and capacitance–voltage (C–V) measurements, while deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) was used to study the traps introduced by irradiation defects. Modifications of the device’s electrical performances were observed after irradiation, and two fluence regimes were identified. In the low fluence range (≤1013 ions/cm2), I–V characteristics evidenced an increase in series resistance, which can be associated with the decrease in the dopant concentration, as also denoted by C–V measurements. In addition, the pre-exponential parameter of junction generation current increased with fluence due to the increase in point defect concentration. The main produced defect states were the Z1/2, RD1/2, and EH6/7 centers, whose concentrations increased with fluence. At high fluence (>1013 ions/cm2), I–V curves showed a strong decrease in the generation current, while DLTS evidenced a rearrangement of defects. The detailed electrical characterization of the p–n junction performed at different temperatures highlights the existence of conduction paths with peculiar electrical properties introduced by high fluence irradiation. The results suggest the formation of localized highly resistive regions (realized by agglomeration of point defects) in parallel with the main junction.
