摘要
The diffusion behaviors of Mg in GaN and AlGaN layers are investigated using otherwise undoped GaN test structures containing three Mg-dopant spikes. These simplified structures enable accurate dopant profiling by avoiding the formation of nonplanar V-shaped defects, as confirmed by atomic force microscopy measurements. We also study the Mg distribution in GaN: Mg/AlGaN heterostructures. In all cases, no significant diffusion/segregation behaviors were observed for Mg in nitride material systems at 1060 degrees C over a 1.25 h time. (C) 1999 American Institute of Physics.
