Characterization of low-frequency noise in molecular beam epitaxy-grown GaN epilayers deposited on double buffer layers

Abstract

We report the growth of high-mobility Si-doped GaN epilayers utilizing unique double buffer layer ͑DBL͒ structures, which consist of a thin buffer layer and a thick GaN intermediate-temperature buffer layer ͑ITBL͒. In this study, three types of DBL were investigated: ͑i͒ thin GaN low-temperature buffer layer /GaN ITBL ͑type I͒; ͑ii͒ nitridated Ga metal film/GaN ITBL ͑type II͒; and ͑iii͒ thin AlN high-temperature buffer layer /GaN ITBL ͑type III͒. Systematic measurements were conducted on the electron mobilities and the low-frequency noise over a wide range of temperatures. It is found that the electron mobilities of the GaN films are substantially improved with the use of DBLs, with the sample using type III DBL which exhibits the highest low-temperature mobility. Furthermore, the same sample also demonstrates the elimination of deep levels at 91 and 255 meV below the conduction band. This is believed to result from the relaxation of tensile stress during growth with the use of type III DBLs.

“…Low-frequency noise measurement is a nondestructive characterization technique performed directly on the complete device structure. It has been shown that the low-frequency noise in a semiconductor device arises from the modulation of the device conductance due to the random capture and emission of carriers by localized states in the device. − Under a constant voltage bias, the current fluctuation due to a single trap gives rise to a random telegraph noise with a power spectral density in the form of a Lorentzian, . Since the individual trapping and detrapping events are statistically independent, the total current noise power spectral density, S I ( f ), of the complete device is given by in which Δ I 0 is the current fluctuation arising from capture of a single carrier under constant voltage bias.…”
