The electronic properties of Si-doped GaN grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy with various doping concentrations were investigated by temperature dependent Hall-effect measurements. In contrast to the commonly described behavior of n ∝ exp( −EA/kBT ), the data show an increase of the Hall carrier density below 50 K. This implies the presence of multiple conduction mechanisms, requiring a more complex evaluation of the Hall carrier density. For this reason, a model considering carrier densities and mobilities from different conduction mechanisms has been applied in order to extract donor and acceptor concentrations as well as ionization energies from the Hall data. To determine the concentrations of Si and background impurities SIMS measurements have been performed. The influence of donor concentration and the effects of impurity conduction and interface charges on the temperature dependent charge carrier density will be discussed.
