Metal-polar In0.17Al0.83N barriers, lattice-matched to GaN, were grown under N-rich conditions by plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy. The compositional homogeneity of these barriers was confirmed by plan-view high-angle annular dark-field scanning transmission electron microscopy and atom probe tomography. Metal-polar In0.17Al0.83N/(GaN)/(AlN)/GaN structures were grown with a range of AlN and GaN interlayer (IL) thicknesses to determine the optimal structure for achieving a low two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) sheet resistance. It was determined that the presence of a GaN IL was necessary to yield a 2DEG sheet density above 2 x 10(13) cm(-2). By including AlN and GaN ILs with thicknesses of 3 nm and 2 nm, respectively, a metal-polar In0.17Al0.83N/GaN/AlN/GaN structure regrown on a GaN-on-sapphire template yielded a room temperature (RT) 2DEG sheet resistance of 163 Omega/square. This structure had a threading dislocation density (TDD) of similar to 5 x 10(8) cm(-2). Through regrowth on a free-standing GaN template with low TDD (similar to 5 x 10(7) cm(-2)), an optimized metal-polar In0.17Al0.83N/GaN/AlN/GaN structure achieved a RT 2DEG sheet resistance of 145 Omega/square and mobility of 1822 cm(2) V-1 s(-1). High-electron-mobility transistors with output current densities above 1 A mm(-1) were also demonstrated on the low-TDD structure.
