AbstractBrudnyi, et al., and Zwieback, et al., have shown that introducing damage by irradiation with MeV electrons can alter the electrical and optical properties of undoped p-type CdGeAs2(CGA) crystals. Brudnyi's studies of the electrical transport properties of isochronally annealed samples demonstrated type conversion and identified at least two new centers, one a stable donor. Zwieback used multi-MeV electrons to introduce compensating donors, thereby, significantly improving the optical transparency of CGA crystals. However, at the present little is known about these centers. Therefore, we have studied these centers by observing the properties of electron-irradiated specimens using Thermal Admittance Spectroscopy (TAS) and correlated the results of these measurements with capacitance-voltage measurements and Hall effect measurements. Measurements before an after irradiation are compared. The as-grown native acceptor concentrations in our samples varied from a low in the mid 1016 cm−3to nearly 1019 cm−3. Significant changes in the electrically active states in the band gap were seen as a result of a single irradiation with 2 MeV electrons to a total dose of 5 × 105cm−2. The samples appear to respond more strongly than Brudnyi's samples. The thermal activation energies have been determined using TAS and they will be reported.

In the range 80 K-900 K, we have investigated the electrical properties of heavily aluminum in-situ doped, 4H-SiC samples. The temperature dependence of the hole concentration and Hall mobility was analyzed in the model taking into account heavy and light holes. The modelisation parameters were compared with experimental values of Secondary Ion Mass Spectroscopy (SIMS) and Capacitance-Voltage (CV) measurements.

ABSTRACTP-type doping of cubic GaN by carbon is reported with maximum hole concentration of 2 6.1×1018cm-3and hole mobility of 23.5 cm /Vs at room temperature, respectively. The cubic GaN:C was grown by rf-plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) under Ga-rich growth conditions on a semiinsulating GaAs (001) substrate (3 inches wafer). E-beam evaporation of a graphite rode with an C-flux of 1×1012cm-2s-1was used for C-doping of the c-GaN. Optical microscopy, Hall-effect measurements and photoluminescence were performed to investigate the morphological, electrical and optical properties of cubic GaN:C. Under Ga-rich growth conditions most part of the carbon atoms were incorporated substitutially on N-site giving p-type conductivity. Our results verify that effective p-type doping of c-GaN can be achieved under extrem Ga excess.
