ELECTRON - PHONON SCATTERING IN Si DOPED GaN
نویسندگان
چکیده
Phonon-plasmon scattering in non-resonant Raman spectroscopy is used to determine the free electron concentration in Si doped GaN films. For various doping concentration and variable temperature the correlation with magneto-transport data is established. The freeze-out of the carrier concentration at low temperature is thus observed in a purely optical detection scheme. We observe a very long transient time of several hours for the carrier concentration as a reaction to temperature variation. This indicates an indirect capture and emission process with a very small cross section. The value of the Faust-Henry coefficient is determined.

Si in GaN – on the nature of the background donor
A characterization of the Si impurity in GaN is performed by Raman spectroscopy. Applying hydrostatic pressure up to 25GPa we study the behavior of the LO phonon-plasmon mode in a series of high mobility Si doped GaN films. In contrast to earlier results on unintentionally doped bulk GaN crystals no freeze out of the free carriers could be observed in Si doped samples. We find that Si is a shal...

We have made use of a stepped doping profile to improve the performance of strained-Si ultra-short MOSFETs. Electron mobility curves are calculated by a Monte Carlo simulator including electron quantization and Coulomb scattering, in addition to phonon and surface roughness scattering. In the first part of the paper, the effect of Coulomb scattering due to both interface charges and bulk impuri...

A classification in terms of the localization of donor defects in GaN is performed by Raman spectroscopy under large hydrostatic pressure. We observe a significant decrease of the free carrier concentration in highly O doped GaN epitaxial films at a hydrostatic pressure of 22 GPa. This indicates the presence of a strongly localized donor defect at large pressure. Monitoring the phonon plasmon c...

We have investigated theoretically the thermoelectric effects in wurtzite GaN crystals and AlxGa1−xN alloys. The electron-transport model includes all dominant energy-dependent electron-scattering mechanisms, such as charged dislocation and ionized impurity scattering, polar optical phonon, deformation potential, and piezoelectric acoustic-phonon scattering. The results of the calculation show ...
