摘要
AlGaN/GaN heterostructures with multiple AlN interlayers deposited at a high-temperature (HT) of 900 degrees C were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Flat surface with few dark pits was obtained by using multiple HT-AlN interlayers. Hall effect measurements and non-contact sheet resistance mappings demonstrated the improvement of the electrical properties of AlGaN/GaN heterostructure. The sheet carrier density and Hall mobility continuously increased with the increase of the AlN interlayer number. (C) 2010 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim
