摘要
Codoping of p-type GaN with Mg and oxygen was investigated. By codoping with oxygen the hole concentrations increased to 2 x 10(18) cm(-3) at 295 K, an order of magnitude greater than in Mg-doped epilayers. The resistivity of codoped layers decreased from 8 to 0.2 Ohm cm upon oxygen codoping. Variable temperature Hall effect measurements indicated that the acceptor activation energy decreases from 170 +/-5 meV in Mg-doped films to 135 +/-5 meV upon oxygen doping. The higher hole concentration results in part from a decrease in the ionization energy of the acceptor. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
