The source of carrier compensation in metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE)-grown n-type GaN was quantitatively investigated by Hall-effect measurement, deep-level transient spectroscopy, and secondary ion mass spectrometry. These analysis techniques revealed that there were at least three different compensation sources. The carrier compensation for samples with donor concentrations below 5 x 10(16) cm(-3) can be explained by residual carbon and electron trap E3 (E-c - 0.6 eV). For samples with higher donor concentrations, we found a proportional relationship between donor concentration and compensating acceptor concentration, which resulted from a third source of compensation. This is possibly due to the self-compensation effect. (C) 2018 The Japan Society of Applied Physics
