Overcoming the DX Doping Challenge in Ultra Wide Bandgap Semiconductors

Abstract

The most common donor dopants that are known to be shallow in GaN transition to deep donors in AlN. Formation of so-called DX centers is the cause. AlGaN and AlN films will be grown and DX centers will be created and studied theoretically and by electron microscopy. The effects of strain will be examined to control the DX centers.
