Abstract
The impact of the Ga/N ratio on the structure and electrical activity of threading dislocations in GaN films grown by molecular-beam epitaxy is reported. Electrical measurements performed on samples grown under Ga-rich conditions show three orders of magnitude higher reverse bias leakage compared with those grown under Ga-lean conditions. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) studies reveal excess Ga at the surface termination of pure screw dislocations accompanied by a change in the screw dislocation core structure in Ga-rich films. The correlation of transport and TEM results indicates that dislocation electrical activity depends sensitively on dislocation type and growth stoichiometry.
