Deep-level transient spectroscopy measurements of n-type GaN epitaxial
layers irradiated with 1-MeV electrons reveal an irradiation-induced
electron trap at E-C-0.18 eV. The production rate is approximately 0.2
cm(-1), lower than the rate of 1 cm(-1) found for the N vacancy by Wa
ll-effect studies. The defect trap cannot be firmly identified at this
time. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.
