Abstract

We have grown a p-GaN film on sapphire by MOCVD and explored the post-annealing effort on the film after depositing a $2500{\AA}$ thick $SiO_2$ protective layer on it. By etching the $SiO_2$ protective film after the heat treatment, the hole concentration was measured, and compared with the data values before the heat treatment. In addition to the concentration, the hole mobility was also monitored while varying the atmospheric gas ratio of $N_2$ and $O_2$, the rapid thermal annealing temperatures ($750^{\circ}C$ and $650^{\circ}C$) and times (1 to 15 min.) In order to investigate the optical and structural properties of the film, room temperature and low temperature PL measurements were conducted.

사파이어 위에 MOCVD로 성장한 p-GaN 위에 PECVD로 $SiO_2$ $2500{\AA}$을 증착하여 열처리실험을 진행하였다. 열처리 후 $SiO_2$ 보호막을 식각하여, 정공 농도를 측정하고, 이를 열처리 전의 데이터 값과 비교, 분석하였다. 또한, 분위기가스인 $N_2$$O_2$의 비율, 급속 열처리 온도 ($650^{\circ}C$$750^{\circ}C$) 및 시간(1분~15분)에 따른 정공의 이동도와 농도의 변화를 측정하였으며, 상온 및 저온 PL 측정을 통하여 후열처리에 따른 시료의 광학적, 구조적 성질을 조사하였다.
