The present thesis is a study of the evolution of defect states in devices based on wide bandgap semiconductors. The attention has been focused on light-emitting diodes based on GaN and Schottky diodes based on SiC, these latter a basic structure for the fabrication of high-power rectifiers and ionising particle detectors. In both cases, we studied...

... of fig. [4.12], has a strong dependence on the duration of the filling pulse. The peculiarity of bandlike levels is that the peak temperature shifts towards lower temperature with increasing pulse width t p . This is due to the fact that when the filling pulse gets longer, levels closer and closer to the conduction band are filled and can emit. Fig. [4.12]. Simulation of DLTS signal from bandlike states associated to extended defects. In the inset, the density of states used in the simulation is ...

... the Arrhenius plot (Fig. [6.12]) it results that the activation energies of all these levels are in the range 170÷180 meV, whilst the capture cross sections significantly differ from each other. It is worth noting that the negative peaks B and C-are expectedly associated with majority carrier traps, while the positive sign of peak A does not mean that this peak is ...

A light source and monochromator was added to current–voltage (I–V) and capacitance–voltage (C–V) techniques for the characterization of AlGaN photodiodes. The optoelectronic station was equipped with a monochromator for wavelength variation for the response evaluation of the photodiodes at different wavelengths, with or without biasing. I–V and C–...

The temperature dependence of current-voltage (I-V) and capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristics of the Pd/V contacts on undoped n-type InP Schottky barrier diodes (SBDs) have been systematically investigated in the temperature range of 200-400 K. The transition metal palladium (Pd) is used as a second contact layer because it has high work functi...

Pt/4H-SiC Schottky barrier diodes have been fabricated to investigate the effect of annealing on the electrical characteristics of the fabricated devices. The parameters such as barrier height, ideality factor and donor concentration were deduced from the current–voltage (I–V) and the capacitance–voltage (C–V) measurements at room temperature. Diod...

ZnO-Zn Schottky film diodes were fabricated by two-step anodization in a sodium hydrate solution on zinc substrate. X-ray diffraction (XRD) pattern and energy dispersive X-ray (EDS) analysis indicated the synthesized ZnO crystal possessed a wurtzite structure. The nonlinear behavior was observed in the current-voltage (I-V) measurements, and the fi...
