Abstract

This paper presents data showing a Meyer-Neldel rule (MNR) in InGaAsN alloys. It is shown that without this knowledge, significant errors will be made using Deep-Level Transient-Spectroscopy (DLTS) emission data to determine capture cross sections. By correctly accounting for the MNR in analyzing the DLTS data the correct value of the cross section is obtained.
