SiC has currently attracted the interest of the scientific community for qubit applications. Despite the importance given to the properties of color centers in high-purity semi-insulating SiC, little is known on the electronic properties of defects in this material. In our study, we investigated the presence of electrically active levels in vanadium-doped substrates. Current mode deep level transient spectroscopy, carried out in the dark and under illumination, together with 1-D simulations showed the presence of two electrically active levels, one associated to a majority carrier trap and the other one to a minority carrier trap. The nature of the detected defects has been discussed in the light of the characterization performed on low-energy electron irradiated substrates and previous results found in the literature.

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 evolution of irradiation-induced and hydrogen-related defects in n-type silicon in the temperature range 0 – 300 °C has been studied by deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) and minority carrier transient spectroscopy (MCTS). Implantation of a box-like profile of hydrogen was performed into the depletion region of a Schottky diode to undertake the DLTS and MCTS measurements. Proportionality between the formation of two hydrogen-related deep states and a decrease of the vacancy-oxygen center concentration was found together with the appearance of new hydrogen-related energy levels.

Minority- and majority-carrier traps were studied in GaN pn junctions grown homoepitaxially by MOCVD on n+ GaN substrates. Two majority-carrier traps (MA1,MA2) and three minority-carrier traps (MI1, MI2, MI3) were detected by deep-level transient spectroscopy. MA1 and MA2 are electron traps commonly observed in n GaN on n+ GaN and sapphire substrates. No dislocation-related traps were observed in n GaN on n+ GaN. Among five traps in GaN pn on GaN, MI3 is the main trap with the concentration of 2.5x1015 cm-3.

The data obtained recently from combined deep-level-transient spectroscopy (DLTS), local vibrational mode (LVM) spectroscopy and ab-initio modeling studies on structure, electronic properties, local vibrational modes, reconfiguration and diffusion paths and barriers for trivacancy (V3) and trivacancy-oxygen (V3O) defects in silicon are summarized. New experimental results on the introduction rates of the divacancy (V2) and trivacancy upon 4 MeV electron irradiation and on the transformation of V3 from the fourfold coordinated configuration to the (110) planar one upon minority carrier injection are reported. Possible mechanisms of the transformation are considered and discussed.

AbstractMeasurements of p-type Cu(InGa)Se2 (CIGS) using deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) show peaks associated with minority-carrier traps, even though data were collected using reverse bias conditions not favorable to injecting minority-carrier electrons. These DLTS peaks occur in the temperature range of 50 to 150 K for the rate windows used and correspond to electron traps having activation energies usually in the range of 0.1 to 0.2 eV for alloys of CIS, CGS, and CIGS. The peak values also depend on the number of traps filled. For short filling times of 10 μs to 100 μs, a small peak appears. As the DLTS filling pulse width increases, the peak increases in response to more traps being filled, but it also broadens and shifts to lower temperature suggesting that a possible series of trap levels, perhaps forming a defect band, are present. The peaks usually saturate in a timeframe of seconds. These filling times are sufficient for electrons to fill traps near the interface from the n-type side of the device due to a thermionic emission current. Admittance spectroscopy data for the same samples are shown for comparison.
