Vertical Electron Transport in GaN/AlGaN Heterostructures
نویسنده
چکیده
Nonequilibrium dc and large-signal ac vertical electron transport in GaN/AlGaN heterostructures is investigated by Monte Carlo simulations. The symmetric two-barrier GaN/AlGaN heterostructures are studied. The results of simulations show that polarization charges have a profound effect on dc and large-signal ac characteristics of vertical electron transport in GaN/AlGaN heterostructures. Under certain composition, geometry and doping profile, the GaN/AlGaN heterostructures may become bipolar, i.e., the inversion layers may originate at heterointerfaces due to strong built-in electric fields, which are induced by polarization charges.

Current transport in graphene/AlGaN/GaN vertical heterostructures probed at nanoscale.
Vertical heterostructures combining two or more graphene (Gr) layers separated by ultra-thin insulating or semiconductor barriers represent very promising systems for next generation electronics devices, due to the combination of high speed operation with wide-range current modulation by a gate bias. They are based on the specific mechanisms of current transport between two-dimensional-electron...

We report the rational synthesis of dopant-free GaN/AlN/AlGaN radial nanowire heterostructures and their implementation as high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs). The radial nanowire heterostructures were prepared by sequential shell growth immediately following nanowire elongation using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies reveal t...

In this study we present theoretical and experimental results regarding modulation doped p-AlGaN/(AlN)/GaN multi-heterostructures. As the heterostructures should yield both, higher lateral and better vertical conductivity than p-doped GaN, band structure simulations have been performed prior to growth experiments. Based on the simulation results several samples were grown by metalorganic vapor ...
