非故意掺杂吸收层InP/InGaAs异质结探测器研究

为了获得低噪声铟镓砷（InGaAs）焦平面,需要采用高质量的非故意掺杂InGaAs（u-InGaAs）吸收层进行探测器的制备。采用闭管扩散方式,实现了Zn元素在u-InGaAs吸收层晶格匹配InP/In_0.53Ga_0.47As异质结构材料中的P型掺杂,利用扫描电容显微技术(SCM)对Zn在材料中的扩散过程进行了研究,结果表明,随着扩散温度和时间增加,p-n结结深显著增加,u-InGaAs吸收层材料的扩散界面相比较高吸收层浓度材料（5×1016 cm?3）趋于缓变。根据实验结果计算了530 ℃下Zn在InP中的扩散系数为1.27×10?12 cm2/s。采用微波光电导衰退法(μ-PCD)提取了InGaAs吸收层的少子寿命为5.2 μs。采用激光诱导电流技术(LBIC)研究了室温下u-InGaAs吸收层器件的光响应分布,结果表明:有效光敏面积显著增大,对实验数据的拟合求出了少子扩散长度L_D为63 μm,与理论计算基本一致。采用u-InGaAs吸收层研制的器件在室温(296 K)下暗电流密度为7.9 nA/cm2,变温测试得到激活能E_a为0.66 eV,通过拟合器件的暗电流成分,得到器件的吸收层少子寿命τ_p约为5.11 μs,与微波光电导衰退法测得的少子寿命基本一致。     

Electron mobility in degenerate tellurium doped In0.53Ga0.47As LPE layers

Tellurium doped In0.53Ga0.47As epitaxial layers have been grown by LPE in the range n=1018?4×1019 cm?3; the distribution coefficient of tellurium was found to be 0.1. These layers exhibit a two to three times higher mobility than InP or GaAs doped to the same level. Theoretically calculated values of mobility taking account of the degenerate and nonparabolic conduction band conditions are compared with the experimental data.     

Oxide defined TJS lasers in InGaAsP/InP DH structures

Transverse junction stripe lasers in the InGaAsP-InP systems have been fabricated by Zn diffusion through oxide windows into DH structures of InGaAsP/InP with all epitaxial layers n-type. The quaternary layer composition is such that room temperature laser emission is at 1.18 μm. TJS laser mode behavior with accompanying single longitudinal mode operation and kink-free light-output characteristics are seen at 77 K. As the temperature is increased, this behavior persists up to about 130 K, when parallel electron injection through the p-n junction in the InP layers becomes so large that, in parallel with the TJS laser filament, a normally operating DH laser filament starts operating. At higher temperatures only the latter is seen to operate.     

Growth and characterization of Cd-Doped InGaAsP/InP double heterostructure lasers

The liquid phase epitaxial growth of Cd-doped InGaAsP/InP double heterostructure lasers (1.3 μm) has been studied. Cd has been found to have a smoothing effect on the morphology of the quaternary layers and a typical terracing effect on that of InP found also by doping with Zn. The defects, revealed by etching, were found to propagate in one to one correspondence from the substrate throughout the whole structure with no generation of defects even in a highly doped material. Electrical saturation at p ~2.10^l8Cm^-3 was found in InP by Hall measurements while no saturation was found in the quaternary up to a hole concentration of ~2.10^l9cm^-3. A lattice mismatch which is linearly dependent on the amount of Cd in the liquid was found by X-ray analysis. Cd was found to greatly facilitate the location of the p-n junction within the active region because of its low diffusion. Low threshold, very high external differential quantum efficiency, and high uniformity characterize the lasers made of this material. The results obtained in this work suggest that Cd should be considered as a promising candidate for a p-type dopant in fabrication of quaternary devices.     

InGaAsP/InGaAs heterojunction p-i-n detectors with low dark current and small capacitance for 1.3?1.6 ?m fibre optic systems

A new long wavelength p-i-n photodetector, consisting of an In0.53 Ga0.47 As absorbing layer and an adjacent InGaAsP p-n junction is demonstrated.

The external quantum efficiency is ? 60% at ? = 1.3 ?m for front illumination. A systematic study of the background doping of the quaternary layers using different InP sources is also reported.     

0.66 ?m room-temperature operation of InGaAlP DH laser diodes grown by MBE

The DH layers were grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The lasing wavelength was 0.66 ?m and the threshold current density was 3.2?3.6 × 104 A/cm2 at room temperature.     

A groove GaInAsP laser on semi-insulating InP using a laterally diffused junction

Low threshold current GaInAsP/InP groove lasers have been fabricated on semi-insulating InP substrates. Three n-type layers are grown with a single liquid phase epitaxial (LPE) growth process, and the p-n junction is formed by a lateral Zn diffusion. The active layer inside the groove provides a real index waveguide. Threshold currents as low as 14 mA with 300 μm cavity length are obtained. A single longitudinal mode at 1.3 μm up to1.4 I_{TH}is observed. The lasers operate with a single lateral mode when the active region width is less than 2.5 μm. This laser is suitable for monolithic integration with other optoelectronic devices.     

(In,Ga)As/InP n-p-n heterojunction bipolar transistors grown by liquid phase epitaxy with high DC current gain

Experimental results on heterojunction bipolar transistors made in liquid phase epitaxial (In,Ga)As and InP layers on InP substrates are described. The (In,Ga)As base layer was doped with manganese during growth and contacts were made to it by beryllium ion implantation. The maximum measured dc current gain β of these devices was in excess of 500. These devices also demonstrate for the first time in an InP-based system, the inverted emitter-down heterojunction transistor structure with a base contact, which yields a minimized collector-base junction area and should significantly improve high-frequency performance.     

InP/In_xGa_(1-x)As异质结构中Zn元素的扩散机制

采用闭管扩散方式实现了Zn元素在晶格匹配InP/In_(0.53)Ga_(0.47)As及晶格失配InP/In_(0.82)Ga_(0.18)AS两种异质结构材料中的P型掺杂,利用二次离子质谱(SIMS)以及扫描电容显微技术(SCM)对Zn在两种材料中的扩散机制进行了研究.SIMS测试表明:Zn元素在晶格失配材料中的扩散速度远大于在晶格匹配材料中的扩散速度,而SCM测试表明:两种材料中的实际PN结深度与SIMS测得的Zn扩散深度之间存在一定的差值,这是由于扩散进入材料中的Zn元素并没有被完全激活,而晶格失配材料中Zn的激活效率相对更低,使得晶格失配材料中Zn元素扩散深度与PN结深度的差值更大.SCM法是一种新颖快捷的半导体结深测试法,对于半导体器件工艺研究具有重要的指导意义.
