In this work, we present results of a study of anisotropic two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) transport in N-polar GaN/AlGaN heterostructures grown on slightly mis-oriented sapphire substrates. High-resolution mobility spectrum analysis of magnetic-field dependent Hall-effect and resistivity indicate an isotropic 2DEG sheet carrier density, yet significant anisotropy was observed in carrier mobility. A single electron species with a narrow mobility distribution was found to be responsible for conduction parallel to the multi-atomic steps resulting from growth on the vicinal substrates; whilst in the perpendicular direction two distinct electrons peaks are evident at T <= 150 K, which merge near room temperature. The linewidth of the mobility distributions for transport in the perpendicular direction was found to be significantly broader than that of the single electron in the parallel direction. The broader mobility distribution and the lower average mobility for the 2DEG in the perpendicular direction are attributable to interface roughness scattering associated with the GaN/AlGaN interfacial steps.
