摘要
Nanoporous (NP) GaN thin films with low nucleation density were fabricated via UV-assisted electrochemical etching approach. Under different applied biases, two NP samples with different porosities were fabricated. Piezoelectric characteristics of the fabricated samples were investigated using piezoresponse force microscopy. It was found that the nanopores have great influence on its piezoelectric characteristics such as weakening of piezoresponse and change of polarization orientation. During the performance of devices, the weakening of piezoresponse should be propitious to the optoelectronic and electronic stabilities of GaN-based devices. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V.
