RT Journal Article T1 Carrier recombination at screw dislocations in n-type AlGaN layers A1 Albrecht, M. A1 Cremades Rodríguez, Ana Isabel A1 Krinke, J. A1 Christiansen, S. A1 Ambacher, O. A1 Piqueras De Noriega, Francisco Javier A1 Strunk, H. P. A1 Stutzmann, M. AB We analyse the recombination and scattering at dislocations in Si doped AlGaN layers by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), electron beam induced current (EBIC) and cathodoluminescence. We show that c-type screw dislocations are nonradiative recombination centres. From temperature dependent measurements of the EBIC contrast we find a shallow acceptor state 20 meV above the valence band. The level can be understood iri terms of one-dimensional dislocation bands split off by the dislocation deformation field. In addition piezoelectric potentials play a role.
