We have investigated band-gap states in AlGaN/GaN hetero-structures with different growth conditions of GaN buffer layers in view of C impurity incorporation. The C incorporation was enhanced with decreasing the growth temperature of the GaN buffer layer between 1120 and 1170 C. Acting in concert, three specific deep levels located at∼ 2.07,∼ 2.70, and∼ 3.23 eV below the conduction band were found to become dense significantly at the low growth temperature. Therefore, these levels are probably attributable to Ga vacancies and/or shallow C acceptors produced by the C impurity incorporation, and are likely in conjunction with each other.
