AbstractThe article is devoted to the study of the mechanism of piezoelectric scattering of charge carriers in an InGaN/AlGaN/ GaN heterostructures with one filled quantum-confinement subband. The aim of the article is to create a mathematical model that can be used to estimate the kinetic parameters of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) in the structure under study. The results of the calculation of the matrix scattering potentials demonstrated the reliability and consistency on the used model of industrial LED heterostructures with InGaN/GaN quantum wells. It is shown that mechanical stresses in the InGaN/GaN layers lead to an uneven distribution of the total electric field along the active layer. It has been established that the lifetime limiting the mobility of a two-dimensional electron gas in piezoelectric scattering is of the order of 10–9 s.

A quasi-two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) evolved at the LaAlO3 (LAO)/SrTiO3 (STO) interface has attracted significant attention, because the insertion of perovskite titanates can tune the 2DEG conductivity.

Two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at an oxide interface has been attracting considerable attention for physics research and nanoelectronic applications. Early studies reported the formation of 2DEG at semiconductor interfaces (e.g., AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructures) with interesting electrical properties such as high electron mobility. Besides 2DEG formation at semiconductor junctions, 2DEG was realized at the interface of an oxide heterostructure such as the LaAlO3/SrTiO3(LAO/STO) heterojunction. The origin of 2DEG was attributed to the well-known “polar catastrophe” mechanism in oxide heterostructures, which consist of an epitaxial LAO layer on a single crystalline STO substrate among proposed mechanisms. Recently, it was reported that the creation of 2DEG was achieved using the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique, which opens new functionality of ALD in emerging nanoelectronics. This review is focused on the origin of 2DEG at oxide heterostructures using the ALD process. In particular, it addresses the origin of 2DEG at oxide interfaces based on an alternative mechanism (i.e., oxygen vacancies).
