説明:
(abstract)An area selectable Mg doping via ion implantation (I/I) is essential to realize gallium nitride (GaN) based power switching devices. Conventional post-implantation annealing forms considerable defects in the GaN, resulting in extremely low activation efficiency. The recent invention of ultra-high-pressure annealing (UHPA) has substantially improved the p-type activation efficiency, however, the UHPA causes an unexpected Mg diffusion. Thus, both annealing processes resulted in a much lower Mg concentration in the GaN matrix than the Mg dose. In this study, the effect of a sequential N I/I for p-type Mg-implanted GaN was investigated by the correlative scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM), atom probe tomography (APT), and cathodoluminescence (CL) analyses. APT results have revealed that the sequential N I/I can successfully maintain the Mg concentration in the GaN matrix in the higher range of 1018 cm-3 or more. Our investigation suggests that sequential N I/I is a promising technique to maintain the Mg concentration higher and improve the p-type activation efficiency.
