摘要
We demonstrate Si as a shallow donor in aluminum nitride (AlN) with an ionization energy of similar to 70meV. The shallow state was achieved by ion implantation of Si into homoepitaxial AlN and a low thermal budget damage recovery and activation process. These results demonstrate that the DX formation may be a kinetically limited process, though being a non-equilibrium process, preventing the Si donor from relaxing to the deep donor state. The room temperature conductivity was measured to be similar to 0.05 Omega (-1) cm(-1), which is one order of magnitude higher than what has been reported for the epitaxially doped or implanted AlN.
