Abstract

We discovered that Si-doped Al0.05Ga0.95N can be used to realize an extremely low-resistivity n-type layer at room temperature. In Si-doped GaN, a resistivity of 2.7 × 10-3 Ωcm with a carrier concentration of 4.0 × 1019 cm-3 was almost saturated. In contrast, Si-doped Al0.05Ga0.95N with a minimum resistivity of 5.9 × 10-4 Ωcm was produced with an electron concentration and electron mobility of 1.4 × 1020 cm-3 and 70 cm2/Vs, respectively. We confirmed a reduction in the differential resistance of a violet light-emitting diode with a high external quantum efficiency by using this Si-doped Al0.05Ga0.95N. © 2013 The Japan Society of Applied Physics.
