Abstract
Efficient p-type doping of III-nitride materials is notoriously difficult due to their large band gaps, intrinsic n-type doping, and the large ionization energy of acceptors. Dilute-anion III-nitride materials are a promising solution for addressing this issue and increasing the activation efficiency of p-type dopants. Upward movement of the valence bands reduces the ionization energy of the dopants, allowing for enhanced p-type conductivity in comparison to the conventional nitrides. Incorporation of a dilute-arsenic impurity into AlN significantly reduces the ionization energy of Mg-acceptors from 500 meV to 286 meV, allowing for a two-order magnitude increase in activation efficiency in 6.25%-As AlNAs.
