Abstract
The high electron mobility transistor (HEMT) structures on Si (111) substrates were fabricated with heavily Fe-doped GaN buffer layers by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The heavy Fe concentrations employed for the purpose of highly insulating buffer resulted in Fe segregation and 3D island growth, which played the role of a nano-mask. The in situ reflectance measurements revealed a transition from 2D to 3D growth mode during the growth of a heavily Fe-doped GaN:Fe layer. The 3D growth mode of Fe nano-mask can effectively annihilate edge-type threading dislocations and improve transfer properties in the channel layer, and consequently decrease the vertical leakage current by one order of magnitude for the applied voltage of 1000 V. Moreover, the employment of GaN:C film on GaN:Fe buffer can further reduce the buffer leakage-current and effectively suppress Fe diffusion.
