This study focused on investigating the transport-limited trapping effects in GaN-on-Si buffer layers and the impact of buffer layer thickness on these effects. The results showed that increasing the buffer layer thickness improved the stability of the device and reduced current collapse. This enhancement was mainly attributed to the reduced vertical electric field within the thickened epitaxy.
In this work, we focused on investigating the transport-limited trapping effects in GaN-on-Si buffer layers as well as impact of the thickness of buffer layers (T-Buf) upon such effects. Vertical transport dynamics of charges within the buffer layers and their key energy levels are quantitatively and statistically investigated and analyzed. The results show that an increased T-Buf diminishes both impurity conduction of the defect band formed by carbon doping as well as the injection of electrons from the substrate, greatly diminishing the current collapse and improving the stability of the device. Such enhancement is mainly attributed to the reduced vertical electric field within the thickened epitaxy, which provides an additional pathway to address the current collapse and yields more efficient power GaN-on-Si devices.
