Electrical properties of MOCVD-grown GaN on Si （111） substrates with low-temperature AIN interlayers

The electrical properties of the structure of GaN grown on an Si （111） substrate with low-temperature （LT） A1N interlayers by metal-organic chemical-vapour deposition are investigated. An abnormal P-type conduction is observed in our GaN-on-Si structure by Hall effect measurement, which is mainly due to the A1 atom diffusing into the Si substrate and acting as an acceptor dopant. Meanwhile, a constant n-type conduction channel is observed in LT-A1N, which causes a conduction-type conversion at low temperature （50 K） and may further influence the electrical behavior of this structure.
