| Abstract: | An interface state density (D-it) distribution near the conduction band edge (E-C) at the Al2O3/Mg-ion-implanted GaN interface was measured after ion implantation, annealing with an AlN protective cap, and cap layer removal. Mg ions were implanted into n-GaN with a Si concentration of 6 x 10(17) cm(-)(3) at a maximum Mg concentration of 2 x 10(17) cm(-)(3), resulting in the maintenance of the n-type conduction in GaN even after the activation of Mg dopants. Activation annealing was carried out at 1250 ? for 1 min using an AlN cap layer. The complete removal of the AlN cap layer was accomplished by wet etching, which was confirmed by x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The photoluminescence spectrum showed donor-acceptor-pair emission after annealing, indicating the activation of Mg acceptors. By applying the capacitance-voltage method to a completed metal-oxide-semiconductor diode, we derived a continuous distribution of relatively low D-it below 5 x 10(12) cm(-)(2) eV(-1), which increased monotonically toward E-C in the range from E-C - 0.15 to E-C - 0.45 eV. Compared with the D-it distribution of the as-implanted sample, the density of the discrete level at E-C - 0.25 eV generated by divacancies markedly decreased upon 1250 ? annealing. |
