摘要:

采用透射电子显微镜、二次离子质谱、原子力显微镜、X射线衍射、霍尔效应测量和光致发光等方法研究了Mg掺杂对GaN $δ$金属有机气相GAN生长的结构、电学和光学性质的影响。对于高于2.14 $\times$ 10 $^{19}$ cm $^{-3}$的平均Mg浓度,发生相分离,如通过层中富Mg的锥体反转域的存在所指示的。我们发现,$δ$掺杂促进,相比Mg连续掺杂,抑制样品表面上的扩展缺陷,并显着改善外延层的形态。相反,我们不能证实其他作者报道的由于$δ$掺杂而导致的穿透位错密度的降低。在相分离区,由于自补偿机制,空穴浓度随着Mg浓度的增加而降低。在我们的生长条件下,低于Mg到GAN中的溶解度极限,潜在的波动导致自由到束缚跃迁的发射能量的红移。

英文摘要:

The effect of Mg $δ$-doping on the structural, electrical and optical properties of GaN grown $\textsl{via}$ metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy has been studied using transmission electron microscopy, secondary ion mass spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, x-ray diffraction, Hall effect measurements and photoluminescence. For an average Mg concentration above 2.14 $\times$ 10$^{19}$ cm$^{-3}$, phase segregation occurs, as indicated by the presence of Mg-rich pyramidal inversion domains in the layers. We show that $δ$-doping promotes, in comparison to Mg continuous doping, the suppression of extended defects on the samples surface and improves significantly the morphology of the epilayers. Conversely, we can not confirm the reduction in the threading dislocation density - as a result of $δ$-doping - reported by other authors. In the phase separation regime, the hole concentration is reduced with increasing Mg concentration, due to self-compensation mechanisms. Below the solubility limit of Mg into GaN at our growth conditions, potential fluctuations result in a red-shift of the emission energy of the free-to-bound transition.
