Abstract(in English) Thermal annealing step is required to dissociate acceptor-hydrogen complexes and electrically activate the acceptor dopants in Mg-doped GaN. Meanwhile several groups have reported that hydrogen atoms did not exist in n-GaN. Therefore, it is suggested that desorption of hydrogen atoms from p-GaN entirely covered with n-GaN surfaces should be suppressed, resulting in insufficient Mg activation. In this paper, we investigated Mg activation in p-GaN and tunnel junction p^<++>-GaInN covered with n-GaN surfaces. We optimized device fabrication process including the thermal annealing step and evaluated current-voltage characteristics. As a result, we found that Mg activation from the surfaces was inhibited due to the n-GaN surfaces and laterally extend from etched sidewalls in the LED structure.
