Abstract

We present studies of the morphology and charge distribution at the 4H-SiC/wz-GaN heteropolar junctions. Our investigations are based on the rst principles calculations in the framework of the density functional theory where the interfaces between the SiC substrate and GaN layers are represented by means of a slab. These studies reveal possible charge compensation patterns at the interfaces that lead to charge redistribution from monopole to dipole character and increase the stability of the junctions. It turns out that the interfaces with C Ga and Si Ga bonds across the junction and reconstructions involving substitution of group IV elements into Ga layer are the most favorable energetically.
