Abstract

Photoluminescence (PL) and photoluminescence excitation (PLE) spectroscopy were used to characterize as-grown and ion-implanted epitaxial films of GaN grown on sapphire and SiC substrates by MOCVD, and on sapphire substrates by HVPE. A variety of near-band edge PL bands and deeper PL bands such as the ubiquitous yellow band present at varying strength in most as-grown films of GaN, and several types of deep emission bands by implantation of Er, Cr, and isovalent As and P were studied. PLE spectroscopy of the deep PL bands such as yellow band, the broad implantation-induced defect bands, and the intra-f-shell emission of Er has been used to detect extrinsic absorption bands due to defects and impurities over an extremely broad spectral range.
