Abstract

Current-voltage, capacitance-voltage characteristics, admittance spectra, deep traps spectra (DLTS), microcathodoluminescence (MCL) spectra of undoped n-GaN/InGaN multiquantum well (MQW) structures were studied before and after 10 MeV electron irradiation. The current flow in the studied structures was found to be determined by strong tunneling while the presence of piezoelectric field manifested itself in the red spectral shift of the quantum well related peak and a marked dependence of the peak position on applied external electric field. DLTS spectra showed unusual features that could be related to transient screening of polarization charges. Electron irradiation introduced a high density of band-like states that could be due to interface traps in the MQWs.
