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.

The defects formation in ion-irradiated 4H-SiC was investigated and correlated with the electrical properties of Schottky diodes. The diodes were irradiated with 1 MeV Si+-ions, at fluences ranging between 1×109cm-2 and 1.8×1013cm-2. After irradiation, the current-voltage characteristics of the diodes showed an increase of the leakage current with increasing ion fluence. The reverse I-V characteristics of the irradiated diodes monitored as a function of the temperature showed an Arrhenius dependence of the leakage, with an activation energy of 0.64 eV. Deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) allowed to demonstrate that the Z1/Z2 center of 4H-SiC is the dominant defect in the increase of the leakage current in the irradiated material.
