Abstract
ABSTRACTWe report on deliberate O doping of GaN epitaxial layers during MOCVD growth, using H2O and CO2 as precursors. The photoluminescence spectra show a dominant 3.27 eV emission at 2 K known to be a donor-acceptor pair (DAP) transition. In our samples the intensity of this DAP spectrum correlates with the commonly observed 3.466 eV acceptor bound exciton (ABE) peak, suggesting these spectra are related to the same acceptor. The general correlation of these acceptor spectra with O concentration (as established with SIMS data) suggest that the acceptor is O-related, most likely a VGa-O complex. The concentration was measured with positron annihilation spectroscopy and found to be in the 1016 cm−3 -1017 cm−3 range in different samples. Considering previous results the identity of this residual acceptor is suggested to be a VGa-O-H complex. Previous suggestions that this acceptor is related to Mg, Si or C are discussed and found to be less likely.
