Abstract

A study of characterization of different-Al-content AlxGa1-xN/GaN heterostructures and high-electron-mobility transistors on sapphire was presented. AlxGa1-xN/GaN heterostructures were grown on a sapphire substrate by atmospheric pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. An increase of two-dimensional-electron-gas (2DEG) mobility with the increase of Al content was observed which was due to the strain induced piezoelectric and spontaneous polarization.
