摘要
The nonradiative decay of majority electrons has been studied over a wide temperature range from 80 K to 600 K using the time-resolved free-carrier-absorption (FCA) technique. At high injection level of the highly-luminescent N-B codoped 6H-SiC epilayer, we revealed three main relaxation components of injected free electrons over ps-to-ms time ranges. By means of temperature dependency, two components can be ascribed to thermal activation of holes from a shallow (200 meV) and a deep (500 meV) acceptor. The third one, which has a hundred. mu s-time scale, we attribute to minority hole recombination from the valance band into the electron trap (53 meV). This recombination channel seems to compete with the deep-acceptor (Boron) to-donor (Nitrogen) pair visible emission at and below 300 K.
