Abstract: . . . extrapolating a plot of sheet charge concen- tration versus film thickness to zero thickness [7,12]. Mg- doped InN has an electron accumulation layer similar to undoped films at the surface, but also, uniquely, has a charge depletion layer and then a region of negative space charge (as evidenced by a change in the sign of @ ? C ÿ2 ? @V ) that is attributed to ionized shallow acceptors. From the net concentration of ionized acceptors, we infer a bulk Mg doping level in the low-10 19 cm ÿ3 . . . . . .

While the quantitative p -type con- ductivity of the bulk material remains to be evaluated, the achievement of a net concentration of ionized acceptors in InN is a major step toward the fabrication of p - n junctions, and therefore electronic and optoelectronic devices using InN.

It should be noted that the electrolyte-based CV technique causes the ionization of all uncompensated acceptors in the film, which is not necessarily the concen- tration that is ionized at room temperature. Thus, the inferred bulk doping level may not indicate the concentra- tion of free holes. The sheet concentrations of free electrons in the Mg- doped samples, as determined from Hall effect measure- ments, range from 5 10 13 to 7 10 14 cm ÿ2 , and elec- . . . . . .
