“…However, if TDD is below 2 × 10 6 cm −2 and doping of the GaN epilayer is above 2 × 10 16 cm −3 , the numerical modelling shows that scattering on ionized impurities (at cryogenic temperatures) and on polar optical phonons (at room temperatures) dominates among other mechanisms that could limit the electron mobility [ 2 , 12 ]. Shallow impurities in GaN such as Si and O warrant type and quantity of dopants in the material, which define optical and electric properties of epilayers, and the characterization of which can be performed using various non-destructive methods [ 16 , 17 , 18 ]. The processes of impurity incorporation and resulting electronic and electric properties of the material have been efficiently investigated in A 3 B 5 semiconductors by applying density-functional theory calculations [ 19 , 20 , 21 , 22 ].…”
