摘要
In this study, Mg-doped GaN epitaxial layers were grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) and annealed in O-2 air and N-2. It was found that we could achieve a low-resistive p-type GaN by O-2-ambient annealing at a temperature as low as 400degreesC. The resistivity and hole concentration of the 400degreesC O-2-ambient annealed Mg-doped GaN was 2 Omega-cm and 3 x 10(17)cm(-3), respectively. These values are equivalent to those values obtained from Mg-doped GaN annealed in N-2 ambient at 700degreesC.
