摘要: Both the electrical and optical properties are studied of the GaN:Si films with carrier concentrations ranging from 10$^{17}$cm$^{-3}$ to 10$^{19}$cm$^{-3}$.The results indicate that the increase in slope of carrier concentration starts to slow down when the flow rate of SiH$_{4}$ is larger than 6.38\mu $mol/min, which is attributed to the amphoteric character of Si. At the same time, the photoluminescence results show that the FWHM of UV is widened, which can be interpreted quantitatively with a semi-classic model. Furthermore, the intensity ratio between the yellow and the UV luminescences reduces monotonically with Si dopants increasing.
