Role of hydrogen in doping of GaN
نویسندگان
چکیده
We investigate the interactions between hydrogen and dopant impurities in GaN, using state-of-the-art first-principles calculations. Our results for energetics and migration reveal a fundamental difference in the behavior of hydrogen between p-type and n-type material; in particular, we explain why hydrogen concentrations in n-type GaN are low, and why hydrogen has a beneficial effect on acceptor incorporation in p-type GaN. Our results identify the conditions under which hydrogen can be used to control doping in semiconductors in general. © 1996 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~96!02713-2#

متن کامل8.2 Influence of Atomic Hydrogen Treatment on the Threshold Voltage of p-Gate High Voltage GaN Transistors
AlGaN/GaN HEMT is one of attractive candidates for next generation high power devices because of high carrier mobility in 2DEG channels and high breakdown voltage due high critical electric field. In order to apply the AlGaN/GaN HEMTs for power switching applications the normally off operation is required. Enhancement type behavior of GaN HEMT transistors is obtained by using p-type Mg-doped Ga...
متن کاملIron Doping in Hydride Vapor Phase Epitaxy of GaN
In order to overcome problems with non-uniform iron (Fe) doping in our GaN layers grown by hydride vapor phase epitaxy, we have optimized the construction of our ferrocene doping channel. By pre-heating the hydrogen carrier gas before entering the hot bubbler, a constant Fe supply could be established. Moreover, losses of the precursor gas in the reactor could be minimized by a re-design of the...
