Abstract

The effect of edge and screw dislocations on the electrical and optical properties of n-type Al0.34Ga0.66N is investigated. It is found that edge dislocations strongly affect the electrical properties of n-type Al0.34Ga0.66N. Both free carrier concentration and mobility decrease with increasing edge dislocation density. Edge dislocations also enhance nonradiative recombination, which is indicated by decreasing near-band-edge UV as well as parasitic blue photoluminescence. The UV/blue ratio is found to be independent of the edge dislocation density but strongly depends on the Si doping concentration.
