Popis: A novel method to characterize deep levels in wide bandgap, semi-insulating materials is presented. This new method combines deep level optical spectroscopy with a lighted capacitance-voltage profiling method to study the defect spectra of n-type and semi-insulating GaN co-doped with C and Si. Two prominent deep acceptor levels at EC – 2.54 and 3.28 eV are found to depend strongly on C incorporation. The relationship between the concentration of these defects and C incorporation offers insight into the mechanism responsible for rendering GaN:C semi-insulating. (© 2005 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co.
