Ry. Korotkov et Bw. Wessels, Electrical properties of oxygen doped GaN grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy, MRS I J N S, 5, 2000, pp. NIL_258-NIL_263
Deliberate oxygen doping of GaN grown by MOVPE has been studied. The electr
on concentration increased as the square root of the oxygen partial pressur
e. Oxygen is a shallow donor with a thermal ionization energy of 27 +/- 2 m
eV. A compensation ratio of Theta = 0.3-0.4 was determined from Hall effect
measurements. The formation energy of O-N of E-F = 1.3 eV, determined from
the experimental data, is lower than the theoretically predicted value.
