Abstract(in English) Establishment of a localized p-type doping technique is essential to realize vertical GaN power devices. However, in Mg ion implantation, which is a typical impurity doping technique, the control of p-type conductivity is difficult because of Mg segregation defects and donor defects formed during ion implantation and recovery annealing. Therefore, we focused on the Mg thermal diffusion method, which has relatively few defects formed during doping. It has been considered that the low Mg diffusion coefficient in GaN crystals prevents Mg thermal diffusion doping from achieving a suitable diffusion length for device design. However, by using a unique Mg diffusion source, we have succeeded in enhancing the thermal diffusion of Mg, obtaining a diffusion length of several hundred nm, and fabricating and evaluating GaN that exhibits good p-type conductivity by heat treatment under atmospheric pressure. In this presentation, we report on the Mg thermal diffusion doping process and the evaluation of p-type conductivity.
