ABSTRACTA recombination lifetime of approximately 25 ns was extracted from measured reverse recovery storage times in AlGaN/GaN/AlGaN double heterojunction blue light emitting diodes. This experimentally determined lifetime is expected to arise from a combination of radiative and non-radiative processes occurring in the diodes. The non-radiative processes are likely to be due the presence of a high concentration deep-states as identified from the current-voltage and capacitance-voltage measurements. Current-voltage characteristics of these diodes were highly non-ideal as indicated by high values of the ideality factor ranging from 3.0 – 7.0. Logarithmic plots of the forward characteristics indicated a space-charge-limited-current (SCLC) conduction in presence of a high density of “deep-level states” in the active region of the diodes. An analysis of these characteristics yielded an approximate density of these deep-level states as 2 × 1017/cm3. The density of deep-states extracted from capacitance-voltage measurements were in good agreement with that obtained from current-voltage measurements.

The results of experimental studies of capacitance– voltage characteristics, spectra of deep-level transient spectroscopy of graded high-voltage GaAs p+−p0−i−n0 diodes fabricated by liquid-phase epitaxy at a crystallization temperature of 900C from one solution–melt due to autodoping with background impurities, in a hydrogen or argon ambient, before and after irradiation with neutrons. After neutron irradiation, deep-level transient spectroscopy spectra revealed wide zones of defect clusters with acceptor-like negatively charged traps in the n0-layer, which arise as a result of electron emission from states located above the middle of the band gap. It was found that the differences in capacitance–voltage characteristics of the structures grown in hydrogen or argon ambient after irradiation are due to different doses of irradiation of GaAs p+−p0−i−n0 structures and different degrees of compensation of shallow donor impurities by deep traps in the layers.

We investigated the influence of forming gas annealing (FGA) before and after oxide deposition on the SiO2/4H-SiC interface defect density (Dit). For MOS capacitors (MOSCAPs) that were processed using FGAs at temperatures above 1050°C, CV characterization revealed decreased flat band voltage shifts and stretch-out for different sweep directions and frequencies. Moreover, constant-capacitance deep level transient spectroscopy (CC-DLTS) was performed and showed Dit levels below 1012 cm-2eV-1 for post deposition FGA at 1200°C. Finally, lateral MOSFETs were fabricated to analyze the temperature-dependent threshold voltage (Vth) shift.

Dlts Spectra

AbstractWe studied by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) and capacitance-voltage (CV) measurements the effects of doping (Zn, S), nitrogen implantation and annealing of n-type GaN grown on sapphire by MOVPE. The DLTS spectra of the as grown samples show two defect levels which are assumed to be identical with recently reported levels [10, 11]. In N-implanted GaN a third level is introduced which is not detectable in our as grown samples. This levels concentration follows the increasing N-implantation density. The depth profiles of its concentration correlate with the distribution of implantation defects expected from Monte-Carlo simulation. After annealing at 900°C for 60s the additional defect level vanishes. The DLTS spectrum then resembles those of annealed as grown samples. The n-type carrier concentration (CV measurements) increases in samples with low N-implantation dose. This implantation effect can be removed also with the RTA step. The increasing carrier concentration provides evidence that the N vacancy is a donor in GaN. For Zn and S doped GaN deep defect levels has been found, which are reported here.

ZnO/n-Si and ZnO/p-Si heterostructures were prepared by Atomic layer deposition (ALD) and the electronic properties have been investigated by Current-Voltage (I-V), Capacitance-Voltage (C-V) and Deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements. DLTS measurements show two dominants electron traps at the interface of the ZnO/n-Si junction with energy position at 0.07 eV and 0.15 eV below the conduction band edge, labelled E(0.07) and E(0.15), respectively, and no electrically active defects at the interface of the ZnO/p-Si junction. E(0.07) is reduced by annealing up to 400°C while E(0.15) is created at 500°C. The best heterostructure is found after heat treatment at 400°C with a substantial improvement of the current rectification for ZnO/n-Si and the formation of Ohmic contact on ZnO/p-Si. A reduction of the interface defects correlates with an improvement of the crystal structure of the ZnO film with a preferred orientation along the c-axis.

The Individual

The electronic properties of a self-assembled GaSb/GaAs QD ensemble are determined by capacitance-voltage (C-V) and deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). The charging and discharging bias regions of the QDs are determined for different temperatures. With a value of 335 (±15) meV the localization energy is rather small compared to values previously determined for the same material system. Similarly, a very small apparent capture cross section is measured (1·10−16 cm2). DLTS signal analysis yields an equivalent to the ensemble density of states for the individual energies as well as the density function of the confinement energies of the QDs in the ensemble.

AbstractWe report on a detailed investigation of MBE-grown isotype silicon-doped heterostructures by capacitance/voltage (C/V) technique and deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). A sequence of electrically active defects is found. By depth profiling of the density of the dominant levels it is demonstrated that the corresponding defects are concentrated at the GaAs-on-AlAs (inverted) interface. By comparison with studies on irradiation-induced levels in LPE- or VPE-grown AlGaAs we conclude that the defects at the GaAs/AlAs interface are most probably linked to different charge states of the arsenic vacancy VAs and VAs−ASi pairs.

ABSTRACTThe electrical properties of thick oxide layers on n and p-type 6H-SiC obtained by a depoconversion technique are presented. High frequency capacitance-voltage measurements on MOS capacitors with a ∼ 3000 Å thick oxide indicates an effective charge density comparable to that of MOS capacitors with thermal oxide. The breakdown field of the depo-converted oxide obtained using a ramp response technique indicates a good quality oxide with average values in excess of 6 MV/cm on p-type SiC and 9 MV/cm on n-type SiC. The oxide breakdown field was observed to decrease with increase in MOS capacitor diameter.

We have fabricated advanced metal-oxide-semiconductor (MOS) capacitors with ultra thin (5 nm) remote-PECVD SixNy dielectric layers and investigated electrical properties of nitrided SiO2/4H-SiC interface after oxidizing the SixNy in dry oxygen at 1150 °C for 30, 60, 90 min. Improvements of electrical properties have been revealed in capacitance-voltage (C-V) and current density-electrical field (J-E) measurements in comparison with dry oxide. The improvements of SiC MOS capacitors formed by oxidizing the pre-deposited SixNy have been explained in this paper.
