Material defects such as Si-core and C-core partial dislocations (PDs) and threading screw dislocations (TSDs) and threading edge dislocations (TEDs) are being investigated for their contributions to device performances in 4H-SiC. Non-destructive electroluminescence and photoluminescence techniques can be powerful tools for examining these dislocations. In this report, these techniques were used to reveal the different spectral characteristics for the mentioned dislocations. At higher injection levels, both the Si-core and C-core PDs possessed a spectral peak at 700 nm. However, at lower injection levels, the spectral peak for the Si-core PD remained at 700 nm while the peak for the C-core moved to longer wavelengths. For the threading dislocations, TSDs possessed a peak between 800 and 850 nm while the TEDs possessed a peak at 600 nm independent of the injection levels.

ABSTRACTIn this paper we investigate the defect morphology and misfit strain in InAs films grown on (100) InP substrates using two-step metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). High quality InAs films were obtained despite the 3.2% lattice-mismatch between the InAs film and the InP substrate. Cross-sectional and plan-view transmission electron microscopy has been used to characterize the ∼3μm thick InAs films. Almost all the lattice mismatch is accomodated by an orthogonal array of pure edge Lomer dislocations which are favored over the 60° type since they are more efficient in relieving misfit strain. In addition to misfit dislocations, threading dislocations were observed propagating through the film. Most of the threading dislocations were 60° type dislocations along the < 211 > and < 110 > directions on inclined {111} planes. The threading dislocations originate from island coalescence during film growth. High resolution electron microscopy shows the epitaxial relationship between the film and the substrate and reveals an abrupt and sharp interface with periodic dislocation cores.
