The effect of nanopipe defects on the device performance of Gallium nitride (GaN) avalanche photodiodes (APDs) is investigated and the influence mechanism is analyzed. It is discovered that nanopipes can incorporate more carbon impurities, resulting in the introduction of more deep energy level defects into the epitaxial layers. This causes an …

Local density–functional methods are used to examine the behavior of O and O-related defect complexes on the walls of nanopipes in GaN. We find that O has a tendency to segregate to the (101̄0) surface and identify the gallium vacancy surrounded by three oxygen impurities [V Ga – (O N) 3] to be a particularly stable and electrically inert …
