摘要
In this paper, we report transient capacitance measurements performed on MOCVD-grown nominally undoped n-GaN Schottky diodes exposed to Co-60 gamma irradiation. Three radiation-induced defect levels are identifiable at an accumulated dose of 21 Mrad(Si) with thermal activation energies of 88 ? meV, 104 12 meV and 14413 meV, produced at a rate of 2.2 x 10(-3) cm(-1) per 1.25 MeV photon. The isochronal annealing behavior of these defects indicates that they are of similar nature, stable at temperatures <100 C and disappear for annealing temperatures >350 C. The carrier emission and annealing characteristics of these defects are consistent with previously identified nitrogen-vacancy related defects. Three deep-level defects present before irradiation exposure with activation energies of 254, 363 and 586 meV were found to remain unaffected for cumulative gamma-ray doses up to 21 Mrad(Si).
