本文揭示超高电子浓度下电子-声子相互作用对n型GaN晶格热导率影响很弱,Fröhlich相互作用可忽略,并借助费米面嵌套函数解释其与p型GaN的差异,结论可推广至其他宽禁带半导体。

摘要:

纤锌矿氮化镓(GaN)因其优异的电学和热学输运性能,在高频和高功率应用中具有巨大潜力。然而,提升GaN基功率电子器件性能依赖于重掺杂。此前的研究表明,由于Fröhlich相互作用,电子-声子相互作用对GaN的晶格热导率有显著影响。令人意外的是,我们的研究揭示,在超高电子浓度下,电子-声子相互作用对n型GaN晶格热导率的影响很弱,Fröhlich相互作用的影响可以忽略。较小的声子-电子散射率归因于有限的散射通道,这可通过费米面嵌套函数来量化。相比之下,在较高空穴浓度下,p型GaN的晶格热导率出现显著降低,这是因为其费米面嵌套函数相对较大。同时,由于p型GaN具有相对较小的电子-声子矩阵元,其晶格热导率的降低仍弱于在p型硅中观察到的情况。我们的工作为掺杂GaN中的热输运提供了深入理解,这些结论可进一步推广到其他宽禁带半导体,包括β-Ga2O3、AlN和ZnO。

英文摘要:

Wurtzite gallium nitride (GaN) has great potential for high-frequency and high-power applications due to its excellent electrical and thermal transport properties. However, enhancing the performance of GaN-based power electronics relies on heavy doping. Previous studies showed that electron-phonon interactions have strong effects on the lattice thermal conductivity of GaN due to the Fröhlich interaction. Surprisingly, our investigation reveals weak effects of electron-phonon interactions on the lattice thermal conductivity of n-type GaN at ultra-high electron concentrations and the impact of the Fröhlich interaction can be ignored. The small phonon-electron scattering rate is attributed to the limited scattering channels, quantified by the Fermi surface nesting function. In contrast, there is a significant reduction in the lattice thermal conductivity of p-type GaN at high hole concentrations due to the relatively larger Fermi surface nesting function. Meanwhile, as p-type GaN has relatively smaller electron-phonon matrix elements, the reduction in lattice thermal conductivity is still weaker than that observed in p-type silicon. Our work provides a deep understanding of thermal transport in doped GaN and the conclusions can be further extended to other wide-bandgap semiconductors, including $β$-Ga2O3, AlN, and ZnO.
