Popis: Oxygen-related defects in An-containing semiconductors can degrade luminescence efficiency and reduce free carrier lifetime affecting the performance of light emitting devices. We have used the oxygen-doping source, diethylaluminum ethoxide, (C 2 H 5 ) 2 AlOC 2 H 5 , to intentionally incorporate oxygen-related defects during growth of In 0.5 (Al x Ga 1 -x ) 0.5 P by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). Our investigations have identified several defects which are present in nonintentionally oxygen-doped n-type In 0.5 (Al x Ga 1-x ) 0.5 P as well as those due to oxygen. Oxygen introduces defect states near the middle of the band gap. Deep level transient spectroscopy and photoluminescence data obtained over the range of composition 0 < x < 1, are presented illustrating the trends in defect structure with alloy composition.
