Abstract
Relationship between the hole concentration at room temperature and the Mg doping concentration in p-GaN grown by MOCVD after sufficient annealing was studied in this paper. Different annealing conditions were applied to obtain sufficient activation for p-GaN samples with different Mg doping ranges. Hole concentration, resistivity and mobility were characterized by room-temperature Hall measurements. The Mg doping concentration and the residual impurities such as H, C, O and Si were measured by secondary ion mass spectroscopy, confirming negligible compensations by the impurities. The hole concentration, resistivity and mobility data are presented as a function of Mg concentration, and are compared with literature data. The appropriate curve relating the Mg doping concentration to the hole concentration is derived using a charge neutrality equation and the ionized-acceptor-density [ ] (cm−3) dependent ionization energy of Mg acceptor was determined as = 184 − 2.66 × 10−5 × [ ]1/3 meV.
