مستخلص: In the low doping range below 1 ×1017cm-3, carbon was identified as the main defect attributing to the sudden reduction of the electron mobility, the electron mobility collapse, in n-type GaN grown by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy has been performed in conjunction with C concentration and the thermodynamic Ga supersaturation model. By controlling the ammonia flow rate, the input partial pressure of Ga precursor, and the diluent gas within the Ga supersaturation model, the C concentration in Si-doped GaN was controllable from 6 ×1019cm-3 to values as low as 2 ×1015cm-3. It was found that the electron mobility collapsed as a function of free carrier concentration, once the Si concentration closely approached the C concentration. Lowering the C concentration to the order of 1015cm-3 by optimizing Ga supersaturation achieved controllable free carrier concentrations down to 5 × 1015cm-3 with a peak electron mobility of 820 cm²/V s without observing the mobility collapse. The highest electron mobility of 1170 cm²/V s was obtained even in metalorganic vapor deposition-grown GaN on sapphire substrates by optimizing growth parameters in terms of Ga supersaturation to reduce the C concentration.
