(Institute of Physics Publishing Ltd., 2008-08-08) Lisesivdin, S. B.; Demirezen, S.; Caliskan, M. D.; Yildiz, A.; Kasap, M.; Ozcelik, S.; Özbay, Ekmel
Hall effect measurements on unintentionally doped Al0.25Ga0.75N/GaN/AlN heterostructures grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) were carried out as a function of temperature (20–300 K) and magnetic field (0–1.4 T). Magnetic-field-dependent Hall data are analyzed using the quantitative mobility spectrum analysis (QMSA) technique. The QMSA technique successfully separated electrons in the 2D electron gas (2DEG) at the Al0.25Ga0.75N/GaN interface from other 2D and 3D conduction mechanisms of the samples. 2DEG mobilities, carrier densities and conductivities of the investigated samples are compared at room temperature and low temperature (20 K). For a detailed investigation of the 2DEG-related growth parameters, the scattering analyses of the extracted 2DEG were carried out for all of the samples. Using the results of the scattering analyses, the relation between the growth and scattering parameters was investigated. Increments in the interface roughness (IFR) are reported with the increased GaN buffer growth temperatures. In addition, a linear relation between the deformation potential and interface roughness (IFR) scattering is pointed out for the investigated samples, which may lead to a better understanding of the mechanism of IFR scattering.

On the interface states and series resistance profiles of (Ni/Au)-Al 0.22Ga0.78N/AlN/GaN heterostructures before and after 60Co (γ-ray) irradiation
(Taylor and Francis, 2010-06-09) Demirezen, S.; Altndal, S.; Özçelik, S.; Özbay, Ekmel
The values of interface states (NSS) and series resistance (RS) of (Ni/Au)-Al0.22Ga0.78N/AlN/GaN heterostructures were obtained from admittance and current-voltage measurements before and after 250kGy 60Co irradiation. The analyses of these data indicate that the values of capacitance and conductance decrease, as the R S increases with increasing dose rate due to the generation of N SS. The increase in RS with increasing dose rate was attributed to two main models. According to the first model, it has been attributed to a direct decrease in the donor concentration in semiconductor material as a result of the elimination of shallow donor states. According to the second model, it is a result of irradiation because of the formation of deep acceptor centers in the semiconductor bulk, and electrons from the shallow donor centers are captured by these acceptors.

On the profile of frequency and voltage dependent interface states and series resistance in (Ni/Au)/Al0.22Ga0.78N/AlN/GaN heterostructures by using current-voltage (I-V) and admittance spectroscopy methods
(Elsevier, 2011-06-08) Demirezen, S.; Altindal, S.; Özelik, S.; Özbay, Ekmel
In order to explain the experimental effect of interface states (N ss) and series resistance (Rs) of device on the non-ideal electrical characteristics, current-voltage (I-V), capacitance-voltage (C-V) and conductance-voltage (G/ω-V) characteristics of (Ni/Au)/Al 0.22Ga0.78N/AlN/GaN heterostructures were investigated at room temperature. Admittance measurements (C-V and G/ω-V) were carried out in frequency and bias voltage ranges of 2 kHz-2 MHz and (-5 V)-(+5 V), respectively. The voltage dependent Rs profile was determined from the I-V data. The increasing capacitance behavior with the decreasing frequency at low frequencies is a proof of the presence of interface states at metal/semiconductor (M/S) interface. At various bias voltages, the ac electrical conductivity (σac) is independent from frequencies up to 100 kHz, and above this frequency value it increases with the increasing frequency for each bias voltage. In addition, the high-frequency capacitance (C m) and conductance (Gm/ω) values measured under forward and reverse bias were corrected to minimize the effects of series resistance. The results indicate that the interfacial polarization can more easily occur at low frequencies. The distribution of Nss and R s is confirmed to have significant effect on non-ideal I-V, C-V and G/ω-V characteristics of (Ni/Au)/Al0.22Ga0.78N/AlN/ GaN heterostructures.
