A Model for Mobility Analysis in Semiconductors.

POSTER

Abstract

The Hall Effect measurements have long been the standard electrical characterization technique to extract the free carrier concentration and carrier mobility as a function of temperature in semiconductors. Analysis of the measured mobility shows that the mobility is affected by different scattering mechanisms. In this project, a model of the different scattering mechanisms due to acoustic mode, polar-optical mode, piezoelectric and ionized impurity is considered using Mathcad, a computer software. The model will be applied to a mobility data measured on GaN, a wide bandgap semiconductor used in optoelectronic devices such as UV detectors and blue laser diodes.
