Characteristics of AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure RT-SCR model

Electrical properties of a resonant-tunneling-semiconductor-controlled rectifier (RT-SCR) model have been presented. The current, temperature, gain, doping concentration, and layer size versus voltage relationships have been numerically obtained. The RT-SCR device requires smaller turn-on voltage than a comparable traditional device for the same gate current. This indicates that, in comparison with the traditional thyristor, a smaller control current may be used to turn on the device at a particular voltage. Characteristics of the device are affected by p1, n1, and p2 regions. It is showed that higher doping concentrations cause lower turn-on voltages and an increase in the region width results in higher turn-on voltages for p1 and p2 regions. Changing the doping concentration and width in n1 region affects the characteristics of the structure differently from that of the p1 and p2 regions.

Time-delayed feedback control of chaos in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure

A theoretical model has been developed to study nonlinear behaviors in a GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructure.We show that the system can exhibit chaotic oscillations under transverse magnetic fields and an electric field.The time-delayed feedback method was applied to stabilize the unstable periodic orbits (UPOs) embedded in the chaotic attractor.A bifurcation specified by a successive decrease in the number of UPOs with delayed time and feedback strength was revealed,indicating the stabilization of UPOs under feedback control.Noticeably,the introduction of a feedback perturbation will sometimes induce chaotic states that do not exist in the unperturbed system.     

n+ self-aligned-gate AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure FET

The n+ self-aligned-gate technology for high-performance AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure FETs employing rapid lamp annealing have been studied. The large transconductance of 330 mS/mm at 300 K and 530 mS/mm at 83 K was obtained for the 0.7 ?m gate length device, by reducing the source resistance to 0.6 ?mm. The minimum delay time of 18.7 ps was obtained with a power dissipation of 9.1 mW at 300 K. The standard deviation of the delay time was as small as 1.1 ps at a fixed bias of 2.5 V.     

High-transconductance p-channel modulation-doped AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure FET's

p-channel modulation-doped AlGaAs-GaAs heterostructure FET's (p-HFET's) employing two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG) were fabricated under various geometrical device parameter conditions. The p-HFET characteristics were measured at 300 and 77 K for the following three device-parameter ranges: the gate length Lg(1-320 µm), the gate-source distance Lgs(0.5-5 µm), and the layer thickness dt(35-58 nm) of AlGaAs beneath the gate. Based on the obtained results, a high-performance enhancement-mode p-HFET was fabricated with the following parameters:L_{g} = 1µm,L_{gs} = 0.5µm, andd_{t} = 35nm. The achieved extrinsic transconductance gmwas 75 mS . mm^-1at 77 K. This experimental result indicates that a gmgreater than 200 mS . mm^-1at 77 K Can be obtained in 1-µm gate p-HFET devices.

Studies of high-speed metal-semiconductor-metal photodetector witha GaAs/AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure

A GaAs/AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure metal-semiconductor-metal photodetector (HMSM) with an active area of 100 μm×100 μm was developed and studied. The measured risetime of the device is 30 ps. The measured falltime is as short as 23 ps. The observed ultrafast response is attributed to the reduction of both the carrier transit time and the device capacitance due to the incorporation of the AlGaAs barrier layer. The HMSM is found to have a smaller saturation capacitance and saturates at a much lower bias voltage in comparison with the conventional MSM photodetector (CMSM). At a bias of 10 V, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the temporal response of the HMSM is more than 20% smaller than that of the CMSM. In addition, it is found that the peak impulse response for the HMSM is substantially larger than that of the CMSM under the same operation condition. Two-dimensional and equivalent circuit analyses were carried out to interpret the observed phenomena and to provide insight into the underlying physics     

Mobility of modulation doped AlGaAs/low-temperature MBE-grown GaAs heterostructures

A study of the mobility of a novel modulation doped heterostructure in which the channel region is made of low-temperature molecular beam epitaxially grown GaAs (LT-GaAs) and all other layers are grown at normal temperatures is presented for the first time. The resistivity of the as-grown samples(in- situ annealed) is very high, as is that of single layers of bulk LT-GaAs. However, in the presence of light, the resistivity of the LT-GaAs modulation-doped field effect transistor (MODFET) is significantly lower, facilitating reliable Hall measurements. We speculate that the observed decrease in resistivity of the LT-GaAs MODFET is due to the formation of a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) at the heterointerface under illumination. A number of samples grown under different growth conditions were investigated. Mobilities for these samples were found to be in the range of 250 to 750 cm²Vs at 300K and ∼3000 to 5500 cm²Vs at 77K. A first-order computer simulation was implemented to calculate the mobility of the 2DEG using the relaxation-time approximation to solve the Boltzmann equation, taking into account different scattering mechanisms. Scattering by the arsenic clusters and by ionized impurities in the LT-GaAs MODFET channel are found to be the two dominant mechanisms limiting the mobility of the LT-GaAs MODFET samples. Experimental values are in good agreement with theoretical results.
