Vertical Leakage in GaN-on-Si Stacks Investigated by a Buffer Decomposition Experiment

We investigated the origin of vertical leakage and breakdown in GaN-on-Si epitaxial structures. In order to understand the role of the nucleation layer, AlGaN buffer, and C-doped GaN, we designed a sequential growth experiment. Specifically, we analyzed three different structures grown on silicon su...
