ABSTRACTA physics based model is presented to describe the surface donor density distribution for metal/AlGaN/GaN structures. This model partly relies on experimental observations to describe the reduction that takes place in surface donor density when the metal gate is deposited. This new model is based on our previous work on the bare surface barrier height for both unrelaxed and partially relaxed barrier layers. The model predictions are consistent with reported experimental data.

Analysis of acoustical phonon assisted relaxation rates of arsenic donor states has been carried out in depends on uniaxial compressive stress of crystal along [110] direction under low temperature (< 10 K). As shown, under optical excitation the inversion population of donor energy levels is formed that depends on deformation of crystal. This give grounds to suppose that stimulated emission on arsenic shallow donor intracenter transitions in THz range is possible under optical excitation. As shown, uniaxial stress along [110] direction can result to switch laser transition and stimulated emission frequency

This paper reviews recent scanning tunnelling microsopy (STM) studies of Fermi-level pinning on the surface of both n- and p-type GaAs(001). The samples are all grown by molecular beam epitaxy and have a (2 x 4)/c(2 x 8) surface reconstruction. The STM has shown that on the surface of highly doped n-type GaAs(001) there is a high density of kinks in the dimer-vacancy rows of the (2 x 4) reconstruction. These kinks are found to be surface acceptors with approximately one electron per kink. The kinks form in exactly the required number to pin the Fermi-level of n-type GaAs(001) at an acceptor level close to mid gap, irrespective of doping level. The Fermi-level position is confirmed with tunnelling spectroscopy. No similar surface donor states are found on p-type GaAs(001). In this case Fermi-level pinning results from ‘intrinsic’ surface defects such as step edges. Since this intrinsic defect density is independent of doping, at high doping levels the Fermi-level on p-type GaAs(001) moves down in the band gap towards the valence band. Tunnelling spectroscopy on p-type GaAs(001) doped 10 19 cm -3 with Be shows the Fermi-level to be 150 mV above the valence band maximum
