利用噪声谱表征二氧化钒薄膜的光学相变特性

利用自主搭建的实验系统,同步实时地测量了热致相变材料二氧化钒(VO2)薄膜在相变过程中的反射率及其涨落(噪声谱).实时傅里叶变换采集卡测得的噪声谱不仅可以像反射率测量一样给出样品的相变温度(55℃),还在样品的高温区金属相里发现了一个明显的噪声峰(位于15~20 MHz),而低温区半导体相的噪声谱几乎是平坦的.这种噪声峰也反映了薄膜样品中低温半导体相和高温金属相的晶体结构差异.噪声谱测量可以广泛地应用于相变材料的研究.

New wet etching solution molar ratio for processing T2SLs InAs/GaSb nBn MWIR infrared detectors grown on GaSb substrates

Mid-wave infrared (MWIR) technology is dominated by HgCdTe. However, in terms of performance, InAs/GaSb type-II superlattice (T2SL) has shown the theoretical potential to compete with HgCdTe. T2SLs InAs/GaSb technology is under development, where proper detector’s architecture formation must be considered as one of the most important steps of the fabrication process. The paper presents experimental results related to chemical etching of the T2SLs InAs/GaSb with bulk AlGaSb barriers, mesa type nBn MWIR detectors. Although, we attempted to transfer HgCdTe etching solutions: Br₂+C₂H₆O₂ into T2SLs InAs/GaSb technology, H₃PO₄+C₂H₈O₇+H₂O₂+H₂O (molar ratio: 1:1:4:16) at temperature ~21 °C was estimated to have optimal parameters in terms of the mesa profile and current–voltage characteristics. Repeatability of the mesa profiles and surface uniformity was reached. Overetching close to the mesa sidewalls was not observed.
