Capture Analysis Capture cross-section Holes: s = 2.5 x 10-20 cm2 Electrons: s = 7.5 x 10-21 cm2
Number of Traps ~ 7 x 1015 cm-3
D Typical Escape data – Dependence on Temperature
Escape Analysis ~ trap depth
Conclusions • A deep level has been detected • The effective trap cross-section is ~10-20 cm2 • The trap concentration is ~ 1016 cm-3 • The depth of the level is ~ 0.30 eV • Our results are consistent with sub-bandgap PL from similar structures. • Web links: This talk: http://webphysics.davidson.edu/faculty/thg/talks-posters/MAR-04.ppt PL poster: http://webphysics.davidson.edu/faculty/thg/talks-posters/SESAPS-03.ppt
