Abstract

High-energy particle irradiation has been used to control the free electron concentration and electron mobility in InN by introducing native point defects that act as donors. A direct comparison between theoretical calculations and the experimental electron mobility suggests that scattering by triply-charged donor defects limits the mobility in irradiated samples across the entire range of electron concentrations studied. Thermal annealing of irradiated films in the temperature range 425°C to 475°C results in large increases in the electron mobility that approach the values predicted for singly-ionized donor defect scattering. It is suggested that the radiation-induced donor defects are stable, singly-charged nitrogen vacancies, and triply-charged, relaxed indium vacancy complexes that are removed by the annealing.
