ABSTRACTPhoto-Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy with 1.38 eV light reveals a new level with thermal activation energy 0.2 eV of DX centers in silicon doped Alx Ga1-xAs (x = 0.26) for the first time. The observation of this level directly proves the negative-U properties of DX centers and the existence of thermodynamically metastable state DX.

The principles and application of Generation-Recombination (GR) noise spectroscopy will be outlined and illustrated for the case of traps in Ultra-Thin Buried Oxide Silicon-on-Insulator nMOSFETs and for vertical polycrystalline silicon nMOSFETs. It will be shown that for scaled devices the GR noise is originating from a single defect, giving rise to a so-called Random Telegraph Signal (RTS). Several methods will be described for an accurate extraction of the RTS parameters (amplitude, up and down time constant). It will be demonstrated that besides the deep-level parameters also the position of the trap in the channel can be derived from a numerical modeling of the RTS amplitude.

ABSTRACTPressure dependent Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) experiments are used to measure the properties of the deep donors (DX-centers) responsible for the persistent photoconductivity effect in Si-doped AlGaAs. The sample dependence of the DLTS spectra shows evidence for a defect complex involved in the DX-center.

In this letter, recent theoretical and experimental investigations of DX centers in Al x Ga 1-x N are reviewed. Due to the technological importance of III–V nitride semiconductors, studies of deep-level defects in AlGaN have attracted a great deal of interest. Oxygen impurities form DX centers in GaN under hydrostatic pressure and in Al x Ga 1-x N alloys. For GaN under pressures greater than 20 GPa, the DX level emerges from the conduction band, leading to a decrease in the free-electron concentration. The localization of free carriers leads to a decrease in the far-infrared absorption and an increase in the LO Raman peak intensity. In Al x Ga 1-x N alloys, Hall effect and persistent photoconductivity measurements indicate that the DX state is energetically favorable for x>0.3. The experimental data for oxygen DX centers are in excellent agreement with first-principles calculations. Experiments have shown that silicon remains a shallow donor up to at least x=0.5 and theory indicates that it may remain shallow up to x=1.
