摘要
The generation behavior of deep-level defects in Ar+-irradiated GaN has been investigated by photoluminescence, capacitance-voltage, and photocapacitance techniques. Ar+ irradiation induces a significant increase in near-band edge emission peak intensity due to donor-bound excitons, in agreement with the largely increased effective carrier concentration in a shallow-lying region near the surface. More interestingly, with increasing irradiation time, the carrier concentration tends to decrease in a deep-lying region, compared with that in the inner bulk region, which is considered to stem from carrier trapping and/or carrier compensation via the diffusion and formation of acceptor-type deep-level defects, such as Ga vacancies and residual C.
