An AlxGa1−xN/GaN two-dimensional electron gas structure with x = 0.13 deposited by molecular beam epitaxy on a GaN layer grown by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy on a sapphire substrate was characterized. Hall effect measurements gave a sheet electron concentration of 5.1×1012 cm−2 and a mobility of 1.9 × 104 cm2/Vs at 10 K. Mobility spectrum analysis showed single-carrier transport and negligible parallel conduction at low temperatures. The sheet carrier concentrations determined from Shubnikov-de Haas magnetoresistance oscillations were in good agreement with the Hall data. The electron effective mass was determined to be 0.215±0.006 m0 based on the temperature dependence of the amplitude of Shubnikov-de Haas oscillations. The quantum lifetime was about one-fifth of the transport lifetime of 2.3 × 10−12 s.

ABSTRACTWe examine the electron transport that occurs within a zinc-oxide-based two-dimensional electron gas using Monte Carlo simulations. The sensitivity of the results to variations in the lowest energy conduction band valley electron effective mass is examined. Increased values of the electron effective mass result in diminished electron drift velocities and reduced sensitivity to the free electron concentration. In agreement with our previous studies for a fixed value of the electron effective mass [11], we find that the reduced scattering due to the screening of the impurity and polar optical scattering leads to a slightly higher mobility of the 2DEG at low-fields but reduces the peak velocity, since gaining a higher energy due to the reduced polar optical phonon scattering enhances the effects of the non-parabolicity within this material.

Terahertz time-domain spectroscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy were developed as the method for the investigation of high-frequency characteristics of two-dimensional electron gas and GaN:С buffer layers in AlGaN/AlN/GaN heterostructures grown on a semi-insulating SiC substrate. The reflectance and transmittance spectra of the selected heterostructure layers were studied after the top layers were removed by a reactive ion etching. Results were numerically analyzed using the transfer matrix method taking into account the high-frequency electron conductivity via a Drude model and complex dielectric permittivity of each epitaxial layer via a one-phonon-resonance approximation. Good agreement between the experiment and theory was achieved revealing the temperature dependent electron effective mass in AlGaN/AlN/GaN high electron mobility transistor structures and the small damping factors of optical phonons due to high crystal quality of the epitaxial layers fabricated on the SiC substrate.
