We present time-integrated and time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) measurements yielding new information on the incorporation mechanisms of N into p-type ZnSe epilayers. We estimate a N-associated donor level at 50 meV. The acceptor concentrations, determined by means of time-resolved PL are in reasonable agreement with NA-ND values from C-V profiling measurements. A further increase of the N-concentration results in a blue shift of this broad band, a behaviour known form highly n-doped CdS and explained by screening of shallow impurity levels.
