S. Nakamura et al., InGaN/GaN MQW and Mg-doped GaN growth using a shutter control method by RF-molecular beam epitaxy, PHYS ST S-A, 176(1), 1999, pp. 273-277
InGaN/GaN MQW and Mg-doped GaN were grown at a high growth temperature of 7
50 degrees C using a shutter control method (i.e. the periodically interrup
ted nitrogen supply method) by the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) using rf-pl
asma nitrogen. A residual carrier density of 9.9 x 10(14) cm(-3) for undope
d GaN was obtained. Higher order (third to fifth) satellite peaks of InGaN/
GaN MQW by double crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD), as well as a single peak
photoluminescence emission at 460 nm were observed, indicating that a flat
and good MQW was fabricated. The p-type carrier density of Mg-doped GaN wa
s obtained in the range from 1.4 x 10(16) to 2.0 x 10(17) cm. P-type cm(-3)
and 8.2 cm(2)/Vs, respectively, were achieved with a carrier density and m
obility of 2.0 x 10(17) relatively low resistivity of 3.7 Omega cm.
