Abstract
In order to clarify the effect of charged dislocations and surface donor states on the transport mechanisms in polar AlInN/AlN/GaN heterostructures, we have studied the current-voltage characteristics of Schottky junctions fabricated on AlInN/AlN/GaN heterostructures. The reverse-bias leakage current behaviour has been interpreted with a Poole-Frenkel emission of electrons from trap states near the metal-semiconductor junction to dislocation induced states. The variation of the Schottky barrier height as a function of the AlN layer thickness has been measured and discussed, considering the role of the surface states in the formation of the two dimensional electron gas at AlN/GaN interface.
