Mn as Surfactant for the Self-Assembling of AlxGa1–xN/GaN Layered Heterostructures
نویسندگان
چکیده
The structural analysis of GaN and Al x Ga1-x N/GaN heterostructures grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy in the presence of Mn reveals how Mn affects the growth process and in particular, the incorporation of Al, the morphology of the surface, and the plastic relaxation of Al x Ga1-x N on GaN. Moreover, the doping with Mn promotes the formation of layered Al x Ga1-x N/GaN superlattice-like heterostructures, which opens wide perspectives for controlling the segregation of ternary alloys during the crystal growth and for fostering the self-assembling of functional layered structures.

Charging effects in AlGaNÕGaN heterostructures probed using scanning capacitance microscopy
Charging effects in an AlxGa1 xN/GaN heterostructure field-effect transistor epitaxial layer structure have been studied using scanning capacitance microscopy. Voltages of 6 V applied between an AlxGa1 xN/GaN sample structure and a conducting proximal probe tip are found to create trapped charge in both doped and undoped heterostructures. Scanning capacitance measurements obtained over a wide r...

We have evaluated the tunneling contact resistivity based on numerical calculation of tunneling current density across an AlGaN barrier layer in non-polar AlGaN/GaN heterostructures. In order to reduce the tunneling contact resistivity, we have introduced an n-AlXGa1−XN layer between an n-GaN cap layer and an i-AlGaN barrier layer. The tunneling contact resistivity has been optimized by varying...

We report on experimental and theoretical investigation of thermal conduction in AlxGa1−xN alloys. A focus of this study is on understanding the effect of the Al mass fraction x and temperature on thermal conductivity in AlxGa1−xN thin films. The thermal conductivity of a set of AlxGa1−xN thin films as well as a pure GaN sample was measured using the differential 3v technique in the temperature...
