摘要
Raman spectra for a series of Mg-doped GaN films grown by metal organic chemical vapor deposition and annealed in N-2 ambiance at different temperatures have been investigated. Some local vibrational modes related to hydrogen were observed, showing drastic changes with the annealing temperature. The spectra show clearly that H impurities incorporated in as-grown films, which passivate Mg acceptors, are released from the Mg-N bonding at above similar to 600 degrees C, and diffuse in the film to form new chemical bondings. We have also observed a local mode related to activated Mg acceptors. This mode is conveniently used as a probe of the activation process of Mg acceptors. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
