Molecular Beam Epitaxy Growth of Large‐Area GaN/AlN 2D Hole Gas Heterostructures

Abstract

Large‐area growth of polarization‐induced 2D hole gases (2DHGs) in a GaN/AlN heterostructure using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) is demonstrated. A study of the effect of metal fluxes and substrate temperature during growth is conducted to optimize the 2DHG transport. These conditions are adopted for the growth on 2 in. wafer substrates. The obtained results represent a step forward towards achieving a GaN/AlN 2DHG platform for high‐performance wide‐bandgap p‐channel field effect transistors (FETs).
