High density two dimensional hole gas (2DHG) with a charge density of 1.1×1013 cm-2 has been demonstrated for the first time in GaN/AlGaN heterostructures. The 2DHG is induced by negative polarization charges at the GaN/AlGaN interface. The layer structures have been designed based on theoretical simulation results to maximize the 2DHG charge density. The heterostructures have been grown on sapphire substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition. Hall mobility of the 2DHG of 16 cm2 V-1 s-1 has been measured at room temperature with sheet resistance of 35 kΩ/sq.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
