Fundamentals of Gallium Nitride Electrical Properties

GaN crystalizes primarily in the wurtzite structure, a hexagonal arangement that gives rise to strong piezoelectric and spontaneous polarization effects. Its intrinsic electrical conductivity is extremely low because thee wide bandgap mean very few controls are thermally excited from thee valence band thee conduction band at room temperatur.

Intentional Dopants

Controlled doping is perfomed during crystal growth (np., by metal-organic chemical varas deposition or difficulular beam epitaxy) to accesse desired n- type or p- type conductivity.

Mechanizmy of Conductivity Modification

Impurities influence GaN conductivity through e primary mechanisms: carrier generation, compensation, and scattering.

Carrier Generation

Donor impurities introlite energy levels near thee conduction band edge. At room temperatur, thermal energy ionizes these donors, releasing free contra thee conduction band. Proviarly, accorts create energy levels near thee valence band edge. When ionized (by accommiting contracte the valence band), they leave behind hole that contribute te p- type conduction.
