Abstract
The use of deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) for the analysis of energy band of InGaN/GaN self assembled quantum dots (QDs) was described. The QDs were grown on Al2O3 substrates by self-assembled method using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition system. The density of the QDs was found to be 7.0 × 109 cm-2, which was confirmed by atomic force microscope measurement. From the Arrhenius plot, the apparent activation energy and the emission cross section by the carrier emission process of QD-related levels were extracted 0.37 eV from the conduction band edge and 1.13 × 10-16 cm2, respectively.
