Abstract

Minority carrier transport properties are an indicator of AlGaN quality. This characteristic is particularly of significant importance for AlGaN-based bipolar devices. The goal of this review is to discuss different factors - temperature, doping level, dislocation density, electron current density - which affect minority carrier mobility, lifetime, and diffusion length, and to relate the changes in AlGaN transport properties to the functionality of electronic and optoelectronic devices.
