Laplace-transform deep-level transient spectroscopy in ZnO thin films — •Florian Schmidt, Holger von Wenckstern, Matthias Schmidt, Martin Ellguth, and Marius Grundmann — Universität Leipzig, Institut für Experimentelle Physik II, Abteilung Halbleiterphysik, Linnéstraße 5, 04103 Leipzig

Deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) is a space charge spectroscopic method commonly used for the characterization of semiconducting materials. The time constant resolution of standard DLTS using boxcar or lock-in techniques is however too poor for studying fine structure in emission processes. Digital transient processing, e.g. used in Laplace-transform deep-level transient spectroscopy (LDLTS), enables more sensitive deconvolution of capacitance transients.

We investigated ZnO thin films grown by pulsed-laser deposition by using LDLTS and demonstrated, that DLTS is not suited to characterize the two closely lying levels E3/E3’ [1] appropriately. Instead, LDLTS is necessary to determine defect parameters as thermal activation energy Et and apparent capture cross-section σ unambiguously. We found for E3 Et = 295   meV and σ = 4 × 10−16   cm2 and for E3’ Et = 386   meV and σ = 4 × 10−14   cm2.
