Abstract: The influence of resistivity for n-AlGaN is investigated by changing Si concentration, growth temperature and growth rate. It is found that the resistivity strongly depended on the growth conditions and it reaches to a small value of 5 x 10-3 omega cm at the growth temperature of 1040 degrees C. In addition, it is found that there is a strong correlation between the resistivity and the PL emission intensity of group-III-vacancy-Si (VIII-Si) complexes. It indicates that defect compensation can play a key role in high resistivity of n-AlGaN films.
