    Highly conductive Ge-doped AlN with conductivity of 0.3 (Ω cm)−1 and electron concentration of 2 × 1018 cm−3 was realized via a non-equilibrium process comprising ion implantation and annealing at a moderate thermal budget. Similar to a previously demonstrated shallow donor state in Si-implanted AlN, Ge implantation also showed a shallow donor behavior in AlN with an ionization energy ∼80 meV. Ge showed a 3× higher conductivity than its Si counterpart for a similar doping level. Photoluminescence spectroscopy indicated that higher conductivity for Ge-doped AlN was achieved primarily due to lower compensation. This is the highest n-type conductivity reported for AlN doped with Ge to date and demonstration of technologically useful conductivity in Ge-doped AlN.

    High room temperature n-type mobility, exceeding 300 cm2/Vs, was demonstrated in Si-doped AlN. Dislocations and CN−1 were identified as the main compensators for AlN grown on sapphire and AlN single crystalline substrates, respectively, limiting the lower doping limit and mobility. Once the dislocation density was reduced by the growth on AlN wafers, C-related compensation could be reduced by controlling the process supersaturation and Fermi level during growth. While the growth on sapphire substrates supported only high doping ([Si] > 5 × 1018 cm−3) and low mobility (∼20 cm2/Vs), growth on AlN with proper compensation management enabled controlled doping at two orders of magnitude lower dopant concentrations. This work is of crucial technological importance because it enables the growth of drift layers for AlN-based power devices.
