Abstract

Smooth, high quality N-polar GaN-on-silicon films with treading dislocation densities comparable to Ga-polar GaN-on-Si films and N-polar GaN/AlGaN/GaN transistors were demonstrated by metal-organic chemical vapour deposition on (111) Si substrates misoriented 3.5° toward 112̄. The N-polarity was established through high magnesium doping during deposition of the AlGaN strain management layers. The results encourage future exploration of N-polar (Al,Ga,In)N-on-silicon hetero-structures.
