Capacitance versus Voltage (C-V) and Deep Level Transient Spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements of Al+ implanted p+n diodes with Al+ implanted Junction Termination Extension are here studied. These diodes present C-V characteristics like graded junction for low forward bias values, i.e. > 0.4 V , or like abrupt junctions for large reverse bias, i.e. between 0.4V and -10V. The depth range of the graded junction, computed by the capacitance values, is much larger than the simulated tail of the ion implanted Al+ profile. DLTS spectra have been measured both in injection and standard configuration and always show minority carrier traps in the temperature range 0-300K. Three are the minority carrier related peaks, one attributed to the Al acceptor and the others to the D and D1 defects. The depth distribution of these hole traps will be discussed with respect to the apparent carrier concentration, obtained by C-V analysis.

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.

Midgap levels in 4H-SiC epilayers have been investigated by DLTS. The EH6/7 center (Ec-1.55 eV) is the dominant deep level as observed in DLTS spectra from n-type epilayers. The activation energy of EH6/7 center is unchanged regardless of applied electric fields, indicating that the charge state of EH6/7 center may be neutral after electron emission (acceptor-like). A DLTS spectrum for a p-type epilayer in the temperature range from 90 to 830 K is dominated by two peaks, D center and a deep trap at 1.49 eV from the valence band edge. Minority carrier traps have been also investigated by DLTS using pn diodes. Two minority carrier traps with activation energies of 1.0 eV and 1.43 eV have been detected.

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.
