Title: | Characterization of low-frequency noise in molecular beam epitaxy-grown GaN epilayers deposited on double buffer layers | Authors: | Fong, WKP Ng, SW Leung, BH Surya, C |
Issue Date: | 1-Jul-2003 | Source: | Journal of applied physics, 1 July 2003, v. 94, no. 1, p. 387-391 | Abstract: | We report the growth of high-mobility Si-doped GaN epilayers utilizing unique double buffer layer (DBL) structures, which consist of a thin buffer layer and a thick GaN intermediate-temperature buffer layer (ITBL). In this study, three types of DBL were investigated: (i) thin GaN low-temperature buffer layer /GaN ITBL (type I); (ii) nitridated Ga metal film/GaN ITBL (type II); and (iii) thin AlN high-temperature buffer layer /GaN ITBL (type III). Systematic measurements were conducted on the electron mobilities and the low-frequency noise over a wide range of temperatures. It is found that the electron mobilities of the GaN films are substantially improved with the use of DBLs, with the sample using type III DBL which exhibits the highest low-temperature mobility. Furthermore, the same sample also demonstrates the elimination of deep levels at 91 and 255 meV below the conduction band. This is believed to result from the relaxation of tensile stress during growth with the use of type III DBLs. | Keywords: | Gallium compounds III-V semiconductors Wide band gap semiconductors Semiconductor epitaxial layers Electron mobility Noise Molecular beam epitaxial growth Semiconductor growth Stress relaxation Internal stresses Photoluminescence Silicon |
