摘要
A model to explain the observed low transverse mobility in GaN by scattering of electrons at charged dislocation lines is proposed. Filled traps along threading dislocation lines act as Coulomb scattering centers. The statistics of trap occupancy at different doping levels are investigated. The theoretical transverse mobility from Coulomb scattering at charged traps is compared to experimental data. Due to the repulsive potential around the charged dislocation lines, electron transport parallel to the dislocations is unaffected by the scattering at charged dislocation lines.
