Abstract

A multi-microscopy investigation of a GaN tunnel junction (TJ) grown on an InGaN-based light emitting diode (LED) has been performed. The TJ consists of a heavily Ge-doped n-type GaN layer grown by ammonia-based molecular-beam epitaxy on a heavily Mg-doped p-type GaN thin layer, grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. A correlation of atom probe tomography, electron holography and secondary ion mass spectrometry has been performed in order to investigate the nm-scale distribution of both Mg and Ge at the TJ. Experimental results reveal that Mg segregates at the TJ interface, and diffuses into the Ge-doped layer. As a result, the dopant concentration and distribution differ significantly from the nominal values. Despite this, electron holography reveals a TJ depletion width of ~7 nm, in agreement with band diagram simulations using the experimentally determined dopant distribution.
