The first one is obviously obtained in the upper part of the energy gap and the second one in the lower part of the gap. We obtained C-V characteristics with two capacitance steps which are sometimes obtained in experimental practice. The behavior and a shape of the C-V curves have been analyzed. The two steps in the characteristics correspond to the AlGaN and the GaN layers depletion.
