Abstract To give a clue for increasing emission efficiencies of Al x Ga1-x N-based deep ultraviolet light emitters, the origins and influences on carrier concentration and minority carrier lifetime (τminority), which determines the internal quantum efficiency, of midgap recombination centers in c-plane Si-doped Al0.60Ga0.40N epilayers and Al0.68Ga0.32N quantum wells (QWs) grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy were studied by temporally and spatially resolved luminescence measurements, making a correlation with the results of positron annihilation measurement. For the Al0.60Ga0.40N epilayers, τminority decreased as the concentration of cation vacancies (VIII) increased, indicating that VIII, most probably decorated with nitrogen vacancies (VN), VIII(VN) n , are major nonradiative recombination centers (NRCs). For heavily Si-doped Al0.60Ga0.40N, a generation of electron-compensating complexes (VIII-SiIII) is suggested. For lightly Si-doping regime, τminority of the QW emission was increased by appropriate Si-doping in the wells, which simultaneously increased the terrace width. The importance of wetting conditions is suggested for decreasing the NRC concentration.

ABSTRACTWe report on the growth of GaAs and GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructured hexagonal pillar arrays using selective area (SA) metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) for the application of two-dimensional photonic crystals (2D-PhCs). SA-MOVPE was carried out on SiO2 masked (111)B GaAs substrates with circular or hexagonal hole openings. Extremely uniform array of hexagonal GaAs/AlGaAs pillars consisting {110} vertical facets with their diameter of order of 200 nm were obtained. Unexpectingly strong intense light emission was observed for the room temperature photoluminescence measurement, which suggests low surface nonradiative recombination and enhancement of the light extraction efficiency of the pillar arrays.
