The deep level spectra in both p+-n homojunction and n-type Schottky GaN diodes are studied by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) in order to compare the role of the junction configuration on the defects found within the n-GaN layer. Both majority and minority carrier DLTS measurements are performed on the diodes allowing the observation of both electron and hole traps in n-GaN. An electron level at Ec−Et=0.58 and 0.62 V is observed in the p+-n and Schottky diodes, respectively, with a concentration of ∼3−4×1014 cm−3 and a capture cross section of ∼1−5×10−15 cm2. The similar Arrhenius behavior indicates that both emissions are related to the same defect. The shift in activation energy is correlated to the electric field enhanced-emission in the p+-n diode, where the junction barrier is much larger. The p+-n diode configuration allows the observation of a hole trap at Et−Ev=0.87 eV in the n-GaN which is very likely related to the yellow luminescence band.

We investigated impacts of the Ar and CF4 plasma during reactive ion etching (RIE) on defect formation in the Ge substrates using the deep-level-transient-spectroscopy (DLTS) technique. It was found that the Ar plasma causes the roughening of the Ge surface. Moreover, the Ar plasma induces a defect with an energy level of 0.31 eV from the conduction band minimum in the Ge substrate, confirming by DLTS spectra. On the other hand, the CF4plasma hardly induces the surface roughness of Ge. However, the CF4plasma induces many kinds of electron and hole traps. It should be noted that the defects associated with Sb and interstitials are widely distributed to around 3-µm.
