Design of high-mobility p-type GaN via the piezomobility tensor

DOI

<p>Gallium nitride (GaN) is a wide-bandgap semiconductor of significant interest for applications in solid-state lighting, power electronics, and radio-frequency amplifiers. An important limitation of this semiconductor is its low intrinsic hole mobility, which hinders the development of p-channel devices and the large-scale integration of GaN CMOS in next-generation electronics. Prior research has explored the use of strain to improve the hole mobility of GaN, but a systematic analysis of all possible strain conditions and their impact on the mobility is lacking. In this study, we introduce a piezomobility tensor notation to characterize the relationship between applied strain and hole mobility in GaN. To map the strain-dependence of the hole mobility, we solve the ab initio Boltzmann transport equation, accounting for electron-phonon scattering and GW quasiparticle energy corrections.</p>
