摘要
We present the results of a depth-resolved cathodoluminescence (CL) and transmission electron microscopy study of autodoped GaN grown on sapphire. Depth-resolved CL analysis can be used for depth profiling of the yellow luminescence (YL) center concentration which was found to increase with depth. The results are consistent with the (O-N - V-Ga)(2-) complex model of YL centers [J. Neugebauer and C. G. Van de Walle, Appl. Phys. Lett. 69, 503 (1996) and T. Mattila and R. M. Nieminen, Phys. Rev. B 55, 9571 (1996)]. Depth profiling of the near-edge emission in GaN layers thicker than similar to 0.5 mu m is not possible due to strong self-absorption. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
