Abstract
Off-axis electron holography has been used to measure the built-in potential profile across an Al0.85In0.15N/AlN/GaN high electron mobility transistor heterostructure. Profile measurements indicated a polarization-induced electric field of 6.9 MV/cm within the AlN layer. A two-dimensional electron gas with a density of ∼2.1×1013 cm−2 was located in the GaN layer at ∼0.8 nm away from the AlN/GaN interface in reasonable agreement with the reported simulations. Electron microscopy confirmed that the Al0.85In0.15N layer was uniform and that Al0.85In0.15N/AlN and AlN/GaN interfaces were abrupt and well defined.
