Photoelectrochemical etching of GaN, using a KOH solution and a 325 nm
wavelength UV laser, has been used to obtain carrier concentration de
pth profiles. The photoelectrochemical capacitance-voltage measurement
s are supported with conventional depletion mode capacitance-voltage,
secondary ion mass spectroscopy, and Hall measurements. The data show
that steps in carrier concentration profiles can be accurately reprodu
ced.
