Plasma Hydrogenation

ABSTRACTDeep-level formation upon plasma hydrogenation has been studied with n-GaAs grown by various methods. Four electron traps (EH0-EH3) were generated in As-rich n-GaAs crystals. No electron traps were observed in the LPE layer before and after hydrogenation. The hydrogen as well as excess arsenic defects are responsible for the formation of these deep levels. Two of the generated levels in our study, EH0/EH2, exhibit metastability and are identical to the M3/M4 levels reported by Buchwald et al. It can be speculated that both diffused hydrogen and already existing As antisite defects are responsible for the generation of the metastable defects.

We have characterized deep levels in as-grown and electron irradiated p-type 4H-SiC epitaxial layers by the current deep-level transient spectroscopy (I-DLTS) method. A part of the samples were irradiated with electrons in order to introduce defects. As a result, we found that electron irradiation to p-type 4H-SiC created complex defects including carbon vacancy or interstitial. Moreover, we found that observed deep levels are different between before and after annealing, and thus annealing may change structures of defects.

AbstractThe small-pulse DLTS had been developed to measure distribution of deep levels in CVD grown SiGe/Si heterostructure before and after thermal processing at 800°C. Changes of defect states was found and after processing the original single deep level 0.62eV under the condition band split into two separated traps. A new weak deeper trap signal was found only in the just relaxed region. It could be Ge-related defect complex with misfit dislocations.

AbstractThe evolution of deep levels that depend upon annealing temperature is investigated for n-type 4H SiC-Ni Schottky barriers. Several samples, cut from the same wafer, have been left unheated or annealed at 400°C, 700°C and 900°C, in air. Deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) has been used to investigate deep levels in all four sets of samples. Electron traps with activation energies EC-ET = 0.19 to 0.5 eV are observed, as well as a hole trap in the sample annealed at 900°C at energy ET-EV = 0.14 eV.

AbstractTwo deep levels, located at Ev+0.26eV and Ec-0.44eV, in Al-implanted n-type samples and one at Ev+0.48eV in p-type samples have been observed by the deep level transient spectroscopy. The level of is identified as the shallower aluminum-acceptor. The 1.7 MeV electron-irradiation, used as a probe to distinguish the implantation induced deep-levels, induces at least six electron traps in the n-SiC and one hole-trap in the p-type material. The peak positions of these deep-levels in DLTS spectra are quite different from those induced by Al-implantation. This result suggests that various damages are formed after heavy ion (Al) and light particle (e) irradiation.

AbstractWe present investigations on the two dominating acceptor levels observed in Cu-diffused GaAs which have frequently been attributed to the two ionization levels of a double CuGa acceptor. We employed plasma hydrogenation and lithium diffusion followed by reverse-bias and zero-bias annealing to passivate and subsequently reactivate the Cu-related acceptor levels. Deep-level current-transient spectroscopy measurements reveal that the two levels are independently reactivated, strongly indicating that they arise from different defects.

The deep levels of carbon doped high resistivity (HR) GaN samples grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) has been investigated using thermally stimulated current (TSC) spectroscopy and high temperature (HT) Hall measurement. Two different thickness of 100 and 300 nm were used to be compared. It was found that four distinct deep levels by TSC and one deep level by HT Hall measurement were observed in both samples, which means great help for the decrease of leakage current and lifetime limitations of device utilizing the structure. The activation energy of these levels was calculated and their possible origins were also proposed. The low temperature traps, might be related to VN, 0.50 and 0.52eV related to incorporate a high level carbon, 0.57eV related to VGa, 0.59eV related to CGaor NGa, 0.91 and 0.97eV related to interstitial N1.
