Sample • MBE-1.5μm GaN 16nm Al0.06Ga0.94N 3 nm GaN • Mesa-100 nm • Ohmic contact -Ti/Al/Ni/Au annealed at 800。C 30Sec • Hall bar:wide-100μm long-2 mm • SiO2-100nm • Gate-( Ni 10 nm/Au 100 nm )
(a) Measured 2DEG density at T=0.3 K as a function of gate voltageVgbetween 1 and −4.25 V. In this regime, nsvs Vgis linear and well approximated by ne=1.23x1012+2.42x1011 cm−2 *Vg. • (b) 2DEG sheet resistance as a function of electron density at T=0.3 K.
(Color) Mobility at T=0.3 K solid black curve is the experimentally measured mobility as a function of 2DEG density from ,2x1011 to , 2x1012 cm−2. For comparison, the red line displays the function μ1~ne1.0 at low density and the blue line represents μ2~ne−1.5 in the high-density regime. The open black squares are calculated from μT=1/(μ1−1+ μ2−1).
Integer quantum Hall states (Rxx~0) • As the gate voltage is changed from −1 to −3 V the 2DEG density is reduced from 9.8x1011 to 5x1011 cm−2. • the integer quantum Hall state near 10 T (Rxx=0) can be progressively shifted from n=4, to n=3, and to n=2
Summary • Grown high mobility and low density AlGaN/GaN hetero-structure • At low electron density the mobility obeys a power-law dependence ( μ~ne1.0)
