Abstract

For n -type Si-doped AlN with a low Si doping concentration of 3× 1017 cm-2, a high room-temperature electron mobility of 426 cm2 V-1 s-1 was achieved, and at 220 K the mobility reached 730 cm2 V-1 s-1, the highest value ever reported for AlN. At Si doping concentrations lower than 1018 cm-3, dislocation scattering is the most dominant scattering mechanism, and the mobility can therefore be increased significantly by reducing the dislocation density.
