- Abstract
- We report on the defect states incorporated in a-plane GaN crystals grown on r-plane sapphire substrates by hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE), using deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). Two defect states were observed at 0.2 eV and 0.55 eV below the conduction band minimum with defect densities of 5 x 10(12)/cm(3) and 4.7 x 10(13)/cm(3), respectively. The size of capture cross section, non-linear relation of trap densities from the depth profile, filling pulse width, and PL measurements indicated that the electronic deep trap levels in a-plane GaN on r-plane sapphire by HVPE originated from non-interacting point defects such as N-Ga, complex defects involving Si, O, or C, and V-Ga-related centres. Even though the a-plane GaN templates were grown by HVPE with high growth rates, the electronic deep trap characteristics are comparable to those of a-plane GaN layers of high crystal quality grown by MOCVD. This study prove that the growth of a-plane GaN templates on r-plane sapphire by HVPE is a promising method to obtain a-plane GaN layers efficiently and economically without the degradation of electrical characteristics.
