ABSTRACTDeep levels in Si doped AlxGa1−xN samples, with Al mole fraction in the range of x = 0 to 0.30, grown by radio-frequency plasma activated molecular beam epitaxy on sapphire substrates were characterized by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). DLTS measurements show two significant electron traps, P1 and P2, in AlGaN at all aluminum mole fractions. The electron trap, P2, appears to be a superposition of traps A and B , both of which are observed in GaN grown by various growth techniques and are thought to be related to VGa-shallow donor complexes. Trap P1 is related to line defects and N-related point defects. Both of these traps are distributed throughout the bulk of the epitaxial layer. An additional trap P0 which was observed in Al0.20Ga0.80N and Al0.30Ga0.70N is of unknown origin, but like P1 and P2, it exhibits dislocation-related capture kinetics. The activation energy measured from the conduction band of the defects is found to increase with Al mole content, a behavior consistent with other III-V semiconductors.

AbstractWe studied photoluminescence (PL) of GaN layers grown by molecular beam epitaxy on freestanding high-quality GaN templates. The layers with thickness of ∼ 1 νm were grown under Ga-rich conditions using radio-frequency plasma as a nitrogen source. The PL spectra from both the epilayer and the substrate contain a plethora of very sharp peaks related to excitonic transitions. Through the analysis of the excitonic part of the spectra, we have identified two shallow donors with the binding energies of 28.8 and 32.6 meV, attributed to SiGa and ON, respectively. The PL spectra involved also emissions due to shallow donor-acceptor pair transitions with the main peak at 3.26 eV and a broad band peaking at ∼2.5 - 2.6 eV (green band). The green bands in the GaN substrate and GaN overgrown layer have different energy positions invoking the suggestion that they must have their genesis in different defect centers.

Vertically aligned InAs nanowires (NWs) doped with Si were grown self-assisted by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs[111]B substrates covered with a thin SiO x layer. Using out-of-plane X-ray diffraction, the influence of Si supply on the growth process and nanostructure formation was studied. It was found that the number of parasitic crystallites grown between the NWs increases with increasing Si flux. In addition, the formation of a Ga0.2In0.8As alloy was observed if the growth was performed on samples covered by a defective oxide layer. This alloy formation is observed within the crystallites and not within the nanowires. The Ga concentration is determined from the lattice mismatch of the crystallites relative to the InAs nanowires. No alloy formation is found for samples with faultless oxide layers.
