Summary: Electron traps in AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors were studied using theoretical and experimental methods. Energy levels at E-C-0.9 eV due to irradiation were identified using deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). Two electron traps, H1 (E-C-0.63 eV) and H-2 (E-C-0.9 eV), were observed in the DLTS spectra. H1 was generated during device or material manufacturing, while H2 was caused by displacement damage. Furthermore, it was found that the H2 signal peak can be attributed to three defects, H2-1, H2-2, and H2-3, with energies E-C-0.77 eV, E-C-0.9 eV, and E-C-0.98 eV, respectively. Different configurations of di-nitrogen vacancy structures were identified as the source of the E-C-0.77 eV and E-C-0.9 eV signals based on defect migration temperature and first principles calculations. The E-C-0.98 eV defect was more stable at high temperatures, possibly related to gallium vacancy.

Summary: The thermal emission rate of electrons from a 0.25 eV trap in epitaxial GaN has been investigated, revealing two exponential components induced by the thermal emission of electrons from two traps. The concentrations of these traps in silicon-doped and carbon-doped GaN were identified, and point defects were proposed as a potential source of these traps. High resolution LDLTS provided new insights into the energy level properties related to point defects in epitaxial GaN.

Summary: This study analyzed the decay characteristics of the yellow luminescence band in N-type GaN epitaxial layers grown via metal organic vapor-phase epitaxy, attributing the decay to carbon-related deep levels. By using a numerical model, the energy level of the hole trap H1 and the acceptor-like state of carbon on nitrogen site were identified as factors influencing the slow decay process.

Summary: In recent years, GaN has become the material of choice for high power switching, high power RF and lighting applications. N-polar nitride heterostructures can provide benefits for these applications due to their intrinsic material properties. This article reviews the electronic and optical properties of N-polar (In, Ga, Al)N thin films and heterostructures, as well as the techniques used for their epitaxial growth. It also presents important process technologies developed for fabrication of N-polar GaN high electron mobility transistors.

Summary: The photoluminescence intensity of n-type GaN grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy shows different proportional relationships with excitation intensity at lower and higher excitation intensities compared to undoped bulk GaN grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy. The observed proportionality is well explained by exciton-exciton annihilation in one-dimensional structures.

Summary: This study investigates the influence of N-vacancy on the bulk GaN using first-principles calculations, revealing that N-vacancy is thermodynamically stable in bulk GaN and induces metallic behavior. The presence of N-vacancy enhances the electronic jump of GaN and leads to increased optical adsorption in the visible light region.

Summary: The Raman spectra of n-type GaN crystals in contact with an Au/Ti/Cr film electrode were measured using micro-Raman spectroscopy at different temperatures. The thermal stress in the interface between GaN and the film electrode was analyzed and found to increase with temperature, causing crystal distortion. The electron density near the interface showed a significant decrease with increasing temperature, while the resistivity near the interface increased more significantly compared to farther regions.

Summary: This paper presents a comparative study of electron transport phenomena in heavily doped n-type gallium nitride above the Mott transition with silicon and germanium. The samples were grown using molecular beam epitaxy, metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy, and halide vapor phase epitaxy. The temperature dependence of resistivity and Hall Effect was measured from 10 K to 650 K. The study of the electrical transport properties at sub-room temperatures provides valuable insights into extrinsic material properties and scattering mechanisms. The limitations of the applied models are also discussed.

Summary: This study investigates the distribution of n-phases and their impact on the photophysical properties of quasi-2D methylammonium lead bromide perovskite film. The emission from the low-n-phase region is blue-shifted and the yield and lifetime of the emission are higher in the medium-n-phase region. Temperature-dependent measurements show stronger exciton-phonon interaction in the low-n-phase region.

Summary: This study investigates the threading dislocations in 4H-SiC and their surface characteristics, such as the diameters, depths, and inclination angles of etched pits. Different types of dislocations can be distinguished based on these surface features. The presence of dislocations affects the electronic and optical properties of n-type 4H-SiC. The findings of this study provide insights for optimizing n-type 4H-SiC by manipulating the properties of dislocations.

Summary: Theoretical calculations suggest that sulfur doping can modulate the electrical properties of graphene, with sulfur-hydrogen structures being more effective at n-type doping than thiophene-like sulfur-carbon structures. The synthesized monolayer sulfur-doped graphene film exhibits n-type behavior in air, with a high electron concentration and mobility, surpassing previous reports. This study not only demonstrates the potential applications of sulfur-doped graphene films, but also enhances our understanding of the impact of sulfur structures on their properties.
