We present capacitance voltage (C(V)) measurements at room temperature of charge-tunable self-assembled wurtzite GaN quantum dots (QDs) in an AlxGa1-xN matrix grown by MBE. GaN and its alloys have excellent properties such as their thermal stability, high thermal conductivity and wide bandgap energies which make them an ideal candidate for next-generation GaN-based power devices at elevated temperatures. Single-photon sources operating at up to 350 K are already possible1. Due to polarization and strain effects in wurtzite GaN/AlxGa1-xN heterostructure layers, the band structure is different for the cross section with the GaN QDs and the GaN Wetting Layer (WL) on which the QDs are formed. Large electric fields and defect-assisted electron hopping promote charge transfer through the WL. Performing C(V) spectroscopy at 300 K on an AlGaN-Schottky diode structure with embedded GaN QDs, single-electron discharging in the C(V) spectrum and a Coulomb blockade energy of about 70 meV are measured.
