Deep levels were observed using capacitance deep level optical spectroscopy (DLOS) in an AlGaN/GaN heterostructure equivalent to that of a heterojunction field effect transistor. Band gap states were assigned to either the AlGaN or GaN regions by comparing the DLOS spectra in accumulation and pinch-off modes, where the former reflects both AlGaN- and GaN-related defects, and the latter emphasizes defects residing in the GaN. A band gap state at E-c-3.85 eV was unambiguously identified with the AlGaN region, and deep levels at E-c-2.64 eV and E-c-3.30 eV were associated with the GaN layers. Both the AlGaN and GaN layers exhibited additional deep levels with large lattice relaxation. The influence of deep levels on the two-dimensional electron gas sheet charge was estimated using a lighted capacitance-voltage method. (c) 2006 American Institute of Physics.
