Abstract

We apply infrared spectroscopic ellipsometry (IRSE) in combination with near-infrared to vacuum-ultraviolet ellipsometry to study the concentration and mobility of holes in a set of Mg-doped In-polar InN samples of different Mg-concentrations. P-type behavior is found in the IRSE spectra for Mg-concentrations between 1×10 18cm -3 and 3×10 19 cm -3. The free-charge carrier parameters are determined using a parameterized model that accounts for phonon-plasmon coupling. From the NIR-VUV data information about layer thicknesses, surface roughness, and structural InN layer properties are extracted and related to the IRSE results.
