摘要:

具有宽带隙(3.0 eV)、高介电常数(> 10)、良好的热耗散以及能够进行$n$型和$p$型掺杂的半导体对于高能功率电子器件是高度期望的。最近的研究表明,$\rm ZnGa_2O_4$可能适用于这些应用,是$\rm Ga_2O_3$的替代品。$\rm ZnGa_2O_4$的简单面心立方尖晶石结构导致各向同性的电子和光学性质,与$β$ -单斜$\rm Ga_2O_3$的大的各向异性性质相反。此外,平均而言,$\rm ZnGa_2O_4$显示出更好的热耗散和$n$型和$p$型导电性的潜力。在这里,我们使用密度泛函理论和混合泛函计算来研究电子,光学和点缺陷的$\rm ZnGa_2O_4$的属性,专注于$n$和p型导电性的可能性。我们发现,阳离子反位$\rm Ga_{Zn}$是最低的能量供体缺陷,可以导致无意的$n$型导电性。自陷空穴(小孔极化子)的稳定性和受主缺陷的高形成能使得难以实现$p$型导电性。然而,在Zn过量的情况下,形成的$\rm Zn_{(1+2x)}Ga_{2(1-x)}O_4$合金显示中间价带,促进$p$型导电性。由于该中间价带的局部性质,预计会出现极化子跳跃的$p$型导电性,这解释了最近实验中观察到的低迁移率和低空穴密度。

英文摘要:

Semiconductors with wide band gap (3.0 eV), high dielectric constant (> 10), good thermal dissipation, and capable of $n$- and $p$-type doping are highly desirable for high-energy power electronic devices. Recent studies indicate that $\rm ZnGa_2O_4$ may be suitable for these applications, standing out as an alternative to $\rm Ga_2O_3$. The simple face centered cubic spinel structure of $\rm ZnGa_2O_4$ results in isotropic electronic and optical properties, in contrast to the large anisotropic properties of the $β$-monoclinic $\rm Ga_2O_3$. In addition, $\rm ZnGa_2O_4$ has shown, on average, better thermal dissipation and potential for $n$- and $p$-type conductivity. Here we use density functional theory and hybrid functional calculations to investigate the electronic, optical, and point defect properties of $\rm ZnGa_2O_4$, focusing on the possibility for $n$- and p-type conductivity. We find that the cation antisite $\rm Ga_{Zn}$ is the lowest energy donor defect that can lead to unintentional $n$-type conductivity. The stability of self-trapped holes (small hole polarons) and the high formation energy of acceptor defects make it difficult to achieve $p$-type conductivity. However, with excess of Zn, forming $\rm Zn_{(1+2x)}Ga_{2(1-x)}O_4$ alloys display an intermediate valence band, facilitating $p$-type conductivity. Due to the localized nature of this intermediate valence band, $p$-type conductivity by polaron hopping is expected, explaining the low mobility and low hole density observed in recent experiments.
