Abstract

P doping of gallium nitride by incorporation of magnesium in the layers was controlled recently. Only Popovici et al. [1] have published the results of a Raman study on p type GaN. In the present communication, we report on the interaction of the free hole gas with the axial A1(LO) or planar E1(LO) phonon modes, evidenced by Raman scattering: the observed coupled phononplasmon mode is found very different from the corresponding one evidenced in silicon doped (n type) GaN. We compare the experimental data with the lineshape calculated within a dielectric model, using the results of electrical measurements. These results are also compared with infrared reflectivity spectra.
