We show the modulation of the electronic band profiles of wide band gap GaN semiconductors by the macromolecular dipole potentials exerted from ordered monolayers of synthetic, non-biological aldehyde terminated helical peptides deposited on wet chemically oxidized GaN surfaces functionalized with aminosilanes. The selective coupling of either N- or C-terminal to the amino-terminated surface enables one to control the direction of the dipole moment. After confirming the formation of highly ordered peptide monolayers, the impact of macromolecular dipole potentials was quantified by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. The same functionalization steps were transferred to GaN/AlGaN/GaN high electron mobility transistor structures. Stable and quantitative modulation of the current-voltage characteristics of the two-dimensional electron gas by the deposition of bio-inspired peptides is a promising strategy for the macromolecular dipole engineering of GaN semiconductors.
