摘要: We report the value of surface band bending for undoped, a-plane GaN layers grown on r-plane sapphire by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy. The potential was measured directly ambient scanning Kelvin probe microscopy. upward films in [112¯0] direction found to be 1.1±0.1V. Because polarization effects are not present GaN, we attribute such presence charged states. have modeled assuming a localized level states gap surface. It should noted that observed is comparable obtained polar c-plane layers, and both with similar treatments demonstrate behavior, indicating dominate banding cases.
