Abstract [en]

We applied four-wave mixing (FWM) technique for investigation of high temperature chemical vapour deposition (HTCVD) grown 4H-SiC samples with different doping levels. The determined minority electron and hole mobilities in heavily doped crystals at doping densities of 1019 cm(-3) were found to be equal to 116 and 52 cm(2)/Vs. In semi-insulating (SI) crystals, the ambipolar diffusion coefficient Da = 2.6 - 3.3 cm(2) A and carrier lifetimes of 1.5 - 2.5 ns have been measured. Irradiation of SI crystals by 6 MeV electrons resulted in essential decrease of carrier lifetime down to &SIM, 100 ps and clearly revealed the defect-assisted carrier generation with respect to two-photon interband transitions before irradiation.

Abstract [en]

We report observation of recombination enhanced defect annealing in 4H-SiC detected by capacitance transient spectroscopy and low temperature photoluminescence (PL). Intrinsic defect centers, created by 160 keV electron irradiation, reduce in concentration after illumination at temperatures much lower than previously reported annealing temperatures of 400 and 800 °C. The effect is observed after both external intense above band gap laser excitation, and with recombination in a forward biased pin diode. PL measurements show that several lines, normally detected after electron irradiation, have almost or entirely disappeared by recombination enhanced annealing at room temperature. From capacitance transient measurements, the annealing enhancement is found to be largest for the HS2 hole trap, while the EH1 and EH3 electron traps also anneal out by recombination enhanced reaction but at a lower rate. © 2005 American Institute of Physics.

Abstract [en]

Recombination enhanced defect annealing of intrinsic defects in 4H-SiC, created by low energy electron irradiation, has been observed. A reduction the defect concentration at temperature lower than the normal annealing temperature of 400&DEG, C and 800&DEG, C is observed after either above bandgap laser excitation or forward biasing of a pin-diode. The presence of the defects has been studied both electrically and optically using capacitance transient spectroscopy and low temperature photoluminescence. Photoluminescence measurements show that several lines, normally detected after electron irradiation, have almost or entirely disappeared by recombination enhanced annealing at room temperature. From capacitance transient measurements, the annealing enhancement is found to be largest for the HS2 hole trap, while the EH1 and EH3 electron traps also anneal out by recombination enhanced reaction but at a lower rate.

Abstract [en]

With low energy electron irradiation in the 80-250 keV range, we were able to create only those intrinsic defects related to the initial displacements of carbon atoms in the silicon carbide lattice. Radiation induced majority and minority carrier traps were analyzed using capacitance transient techniques. Four electron traps (EH1, Z1/Z2, EH3, and EH7) and one hole trap (HS2) were detected in the measured temperature range. Their concentrations show linear increase with the irradiation dose, indicating that no divacancies or di-interstitials are generated. None of the observed defects was found to be an intrinsic defect-impurity complex. The energy dependence of the defect introduction rates and annealing behavior are presented and possible microscopic models for the defects are discussed. No further defects were detected for electron energies above the previously assigned threshold for the displacement of the silicon atom at 250 keV. © 2004 American Institute of Physics. 10.1063/1.1778819.

Abstract [en]

Since the 1997 publication of Silicon Carbide - A Review of Fundamental Questions and Applications to Current Device Technology edited by Choyke, et al., there has been impressive progress in both the fundamental and developmental aspects of the SiC field. So there is a growing need to update the scientific community on the important events in research and development since then. The editors have again gathered an outstanding team of the world's leading SiC researchers and design engineers to write on the most recent developments in SiC. The book is divided into five main categories: theory, crystal growth, characterization, processing and devices. Every attempt has been made to make the articles as up-to-date as possible and assure the highest standards of accuracy. As was the case for earlier SiC books, many of the articles will be relevant a decade from now so that this book will take its place next to the earlier work as a permanent and essential reference volume.

Abstract [en]

 (Ga,Mn)/N/InGaN multiquantum well (MQW) diodes were grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The current-voltage characteristics of the diodes show the presence of a parasitic junction between the (Ga,Mn)N and the n-GaN in the top contact layer due to the low conductivity of the former layer. Both the (Ga,Mn)N/InGaN diodes and control samples without Mn doping show no or very low (up to 10% at the lowest temperatures) optical (spin) polarization at zero field or 5 T, respectively. The observed polarization is shown to correspond to the intrinsic optical polarization of the InGaN MQW, due to population distribution between spin sublevels at low temperature, as separately studied by resonant optical excitation with a photon energy lower than the bandgap of both the GaN and (Ga,Mn)N. This indicates efficient losses in the studied structures of any spin polarization generated by optical spin orientation or electrical spin injection. The observed vanishing spin injection efficiency of the spin light-emitting diode (LED) is tentatively attributed to spin losses during the energy relaxation process to the ground state of the excitons giving rise to the light emission.
