Study of Charge Carrier Transport in GaN Sensors
Capacitor and Schottky diode sensors were fabricated on GaN material grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy and metal-organic chemical vapor deposition techniques using plasma etching and metal deposition. The operational characteristics of these devices have been investigated by profiling current transients and by comparing the experimental regimes of the perpendicular and parallel injection of excess carrier domains. Profiling of the carrier injection location allows for the separation of the bipolar and the monopolar charge drift components. Carrier mobility values attributed to the hydride vapor phase epitaxy (HVPE) GaN material have been estimated as μe = 1000 ± 200 cm2/Vs for electrons, and μh = 400 ± 80 cm2/Vs for holes, respectively. Current transients under injection of the localized and bulk packets of excess carriers have been examined in order to determine the surface charge formation and polarization effects.
In situ characterization of radiation sensors based on GaN LED structure by pulsed capacitance technique and luminescence spectroscopy
Abstract We report on variations of the electrical and optical characteristics of commercial GaN blue LEDs, acting as radiation sensors or dosimeters, during 1.6 MeV proton irradiation. Transients of the barrier and storage capacitance have been examined simultaneously with proton-excited luminescence. The pulsed capacitance technique was shown to be a useful tool for the control of changes of the effective density of dopants in the LED structure during proton irradiation, due to introduced radiation defects. The minority carrier injection efficiency can be estimated by measuring the charging current transients of the barrier and storage capacitance. The transient current measurements imply rather fast response of the GaN LED hadron radiation sensors. Also, our results show that the intensity and spectral variations of the proton-excited blue luminescence of the LEDs can be used for the estimation of hadron flux and fluence, respectively. This implies that GaN LED-based sensors can be used for the synchronous detection of hadron irradiation by recording the optical and electrical signals.
