Abstract

The hole lifetime in n-type Al0.10Ga0.90As is controlled by recombination centers with capture cross sections of about 10 -12 cm2. Correlated time-resolved photoluminescence and deep level transient spectroscopy measurements link these centers to well-known impurity oxygen complexes. Film growth at temperatures above about 720°C eliminate these oxygen complexes from the epitaxial layer resulting in greatly improved electronic properties.
