Abstract
Wide-bandgap semiconductors are fundamental components in many optoelectronic and power devices. The free-carrier properties, i.e., carrier density and mobility, are crucial parameters that determine device performance. This paper presents the characterization of a gallium nitride (GaN) wafer with ~1016 cm-3 carrier concentration using terahertz (THz) time- domain ellipsometry. In addition, THz time-domain spectroscopy of monoclinic beta-gallium oxide (β-Ga2O3) semi- insulating bulk and n-type homoepitaxial film are presented. The free-carrier properties are extracted by theoretically fitting the complex refractive index to the Drude and Drude-Lorentz models. THz time-domain techniques are a practical and powerful tool to nondestructively characterize the free-carrier properties of wide-bandgap semiconductors for device development.
