Abstract

Deep level defects formed in p-type GaN:Mg codoped with shallow donors have been investigated by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. A donor-acceptor pair (DAP) luminescence band peaked at 2.45 eV dominates the room temperature PL spectrum in heavily codoped epilayers. A superlinear dependence of PL intensity on excitation density is observed for this band, with an exponent of 1.4∼1.7. The intensity of this band increases with increasing temperature with a maximum at 264K. To explain the luminescence behavior a DAP model was developed whereby the recombination involves a deep donor and shallow Mg acceptor. The deep donor is tentatively attributed to a DX center.
