Visualization of Polarization and Two Dimensional Electron Gas Distribution in AlGaN/GaN Heterostructure Using Scanning Nonlinear Dielectric Microscopy

Article Preview

Abstract:

AlGaN/GaN heterostructure was observed using scanning nonlinear dielectric microscopy, which can measure both carrier and polarization profile in AlGaN/GaN heterostructure. As a result, GaN spontaneous polarization and AlGaN polarization which was sum of spontaneous polarization and piezoelectric polarization were clearly distinguished. Moreover, two dimensional electron gas was observed at the AlGaN/GaN interface. These results show that scanning nonlinear dielectric microscopy is useful method for evaluation of two dimensional electron gas profile and polarization profile in AlGaN/GaN heterostructure.
