The properties of Cr-doped semi-insulating GaN epilayers grown by rf-plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy were studied. The deep acceptor nature of Cr was used to grow semi-insulating GaN epilayers on sapphire substrates for electronic device applications. The room-temperature (RT) sheet resistivity of the epilayers reached 1010 Ω/square. The activation energy of the dark conductivity was about 0.48 eV. Step-graded AlxGa1-xN/GaN (x=0.3-0.2) superlattices (SLs) were designed to filter dislocations. Transmission electron microscopy images showed that the SLs can dramatically reduce the dislocation density. Al0.35Ga0.65N/GaN heterostructure grown on the Cr-doped semi-insulating GaN epilayer exhibited a RT mobility of 960 cm2/Vs and sheet carrier density of 2.1×1013 cm-2.
