Explanation of positive and negative PICTS peaks in SI-GaAs

Abstract: A system of rate equations was used to study the unusual behavior of the EL2 defect in SI-GaAs. Experimental results show a strong correlation between the position of the Fermi level and the appearance of either negative or positive EL2 peaks. The applied model reproduces experimental results and provides a mechanism which explains the occurrence of negative EL2 peaks. Besides the numerical simulation we also adapted a simplified trap model which leads to a qualitative understanding of the negative PICTS peak … Show more

“…Although the assignment of this negative peak is not clear yet, the theoretical background of the appearance of negative peaks in MD-PICTS spectra is well understood. As was shown recently, the occurrence of positive and negative peaks for one defect level mainly depends on the initial occupation of the level prior to the excitation pulse [9]. A comparison of results obtained for the samples V, VI and VII, which are grown under different C/Si-ratios hints at different formation of defect levels during the growth process.…”

“…Application of improved spectra evaluation techniques as well as adaption of a generalized rate equation system to SiC may improve the understanding of the experimental results. The latter was recently shown to explain experimentally obtained carrier dynamics in GaAs and Si [9,11].…”

“…Šis modelis jungia elektronų laidumo juostoje, skylučių valenti-nėje juostoje ir pagautų krūvininkų tankius. Toks vykstančio proceso traktavimas išlieka aktualus ir mūsų dienomis ir yra taikomas kituose modeliuose (Schmerler et al 2008). Mums šis modelis yra įdomus dar ir tuo, kad modelio netiesiškumai yra kvadratiniai, todėl dauguma gautųjų teorinių rezultatų gali būti apibendrinti netiesiniams ląstelės sužadinimo modeliams.…”
