Outline of Final Research Achievements |
An optical measurement system based on an integrating sphere was built up to perform the omnidirectional photoluminescence (ODPL) spectroscopy under the multiple-photon absorption (MPA) condition. The detection sensitivity of the system was verified to be enough high by the quantification of quantum efficiency of radiation in a GaN crystal. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra and PL decay lifetime were realized to be drastically changed when the excitation depth was varied. Such the sensitive variation of PL spectra and lifetimes arises from the self-absorption and surface recombination processes of the crystal.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
近年成長技術の発展が著しいGaN自立結晶の、さらなる高品質化に寄与するものと考えられる。特に、貫通転位密度が非常に低いGaN基板を用いてもなお、デバイス性能のばらつきなどが多数報告されている。本手法を用いて点欠陥濃度の分布が明らかとなれば、このような歩留まりの問題に対して有効なアプローチを講じることができると期待できる。また、無機・有機を問わず、他の直接遷移型半導体における光物性評価においても有用な分光技術になるものと期待する。
