Abstract

We have investigated the relationship of the Hall electron mobility to the background carrier concentration in low pressure MOCVD grown GaN. The highest electron mobility (400 cm2 /V•s) of the unintentionally doped GaN was obtained at a carrier concentration of 1×1017 cm−3 and samples with carrier concentrations lower than this exhibited lower mobilities. SIMS analysis shows C and O concentrations in the range of 2–3×1016 cm−3 and H in the 2–3×1017 cm−3 range. Structural defects, stoichiometry and impurities in the GaN films grown under different conditions are investigated to understand their relationship to the electron Hall mobilities. In particular, different growth temperatures and pressures were used to grow undoped GaN and modify the background doping effect of the impurities.
