Popis: The electrical properties of InGaN that is either undoped, or Mg doped, are compared to learn about the nature of p-type conductivity. For In alloy fraction beyond 5% Hall measurements do not indicate p-type polarity, even when Mg doping is employed. In contrast, hot probe measurements show that p-polarity can be measured for the entire range of Mg-doped In mole fractions. The conflicting polarity indications are primarily the result of surface electron accumulation. Parasitic surface electron conductivity can further be seen in p–n homojunctions at In fractions including 20% and 30%. This has an impact on structures such as solar cells. Temperature variable conductivity and PL from different layer structures provides further understanding of the nature of InGaN:Mg. (© 2008 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)
