Abstrakt: We have investigated the electrical properties of ZnO/GaN heterostructures by capacitance-voltage (C-V) measurements. ZnO/GaN heterostructures are fabricated on Ga-polar GaN templates by plasma-assisted molecular-beam epitaxy. The ZnO/GaN heterostructures exhibit a plateau region of 6.5 V in the C-V curves measured at 10 kHz and room temperature. Moreover, it is found that a large electron density is accumulated at the interface of ZnO/GaN, where the concentration approaches ∼1018 cm-3. The distinct C-V characteristics are ascribed to large conduction-band discontinuity at the ZnO/GaN heterointerface. It is suggested that the ZnO/GaN heterostructure is a very promising material for the application to heterojunction transistors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
