摘要
DLTS measurements have been performed on InGaAsN. Four hole traps have been identified in 1.05 eV, p-type InGaAsN and the removal of a midgap trap ( similar to 0.5 eV) during annealing has been correlated with improved bulk material properties. Improvements in MOCVD growth conditions resulted in a reduction of trap density in 1.05 eV, p-type InGaAsN. Increased indium and nitrogen composition has been correlated with higher defect concentrations in p-type InGaAsN. Two electron traps have been identified in 1.15 eV, n-type InGaAsN and annealing was found to reduce the density of the shallow electron trap. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
