Scattering of electrons at threading dislocations in GaN

TLDR
In this paper, a model to explain the observed low transverse mobility in GaN by scattering of electrons at charged dislocation lines is proposed and the statistics of trap occupancy at different doping levels are investigated.
Abstract
A model to explain the observed low transverse mobility in GaN by scattering of electrons at charged dislocation lines is proposed. Filled traps along threading dislocation lines act as Coulomb scattering centers. The statistics of trap occupancy at different doping levels are investigated. The theoretical transverse mobility from Coulomb scattering at charged traps is compared to experimental data. Due to the repulsive potential around the charged dislocation lines, electron transport parallel to the dislocations is unaffected by the scattering at charged dislocation lines.

Theory of Impurity Scattering in Semiconductors

TL;DR: In this paper, it was shown that the simple theory of lattice scattering alone cannot explain the temperature dependence of the resistivity of germanium semiconductors and that another probable source of resistance is scattering by ionized impurity centers.

The measurement of threading dislocation densities in semiconductor crystals by X-ray diffraction

TL;DR: In this paper, the theory of dislocation density measurement from rocking curves is extended to the case of (001) zinc-blende semiconductors, and it is shown that the measurement of several ( hkl ) rocking curve widths with a particular X-ray wavelength allows the calculation of the dislocations density by two independent techniques, thus allowing for a check of self-consistency.
