InGaAs/InP thermoelectric infrared sensor utilizing surface bulkmicromachining technology

A novel InGaAs/InP micromachined thermoelectric sensor is presented. The key features of the reported sensors are the high thermal resistivity and high mobility of InGaAs lattice matched to InP, combined with a value of Seebeck coefficient that is acceptable for such applications. The anisotropic and selective surface bulk micromachining properties of this material system were successfully applied to devices aligned along the (010) orientation on a [100] InP wafer and the details of the technology used for this purpose are presented. A responsivity of 184 V/W and a relative detectivity of 7.1×108 cm Hz^-1/2/W have been demonstrated using this new sensor approach     

Frequency response of InP/InGaAsP/InGaAs avalanche photodiodes

A theoretical model for the frequency response of InP/InGaAs avalanche photodiodes (APDs) is presented. Included in the analysis are resistive, capacitive, and inductive parasitics, transit-time factors, hole trapping at the heterojunction interfaces, and the avalanche buildup time. The contributions of the primary electrons, primary holes, and secondary electrons to the transit-time-limited response are considered separately. Using a measurement apparatus which consists of a frequency synthesizer and a spectrum analyzer controlled by a microcomputer, the frequency response of InP/InGaAsP/InGaAs APDs grown by chemical-beam epitaxy are measured. Good agreement with the calculated response has been obtained over a wide range of gains     

Design and characteristics of InGaAs/InP composite-channel HFET's

A design for composite-channel structures consisting of an InGaAs channel and an InP subchannel for use as heterostructure field-effect transistors is presented for the first time. This novel channel structure takes advantage of both the high drift velocity and low impact ionization of InP at high electric fields as well as the high electron mobility of InGaAs at low electric fields. It is shown that the doping density of the InP subchannel is the key parameter to realize the advantages of the composite channel. A very high transconductance of 1.29 S/mm and a current gain cutoff frequency of 68.7 GHz are achieved with 0.6 and 0.7 /spl mu/m gates, respectively. The average velocity of electrons in the composite channel is 2.9/spl times/10/sup 7/ cm/s. The devices have no kink phenomena in their I-V characteristics possibly due to low impact ionization in the InP subchannel.<>

Temperature dependent DC characteristics of an InP/InGaAs/InGaAsPHBT

We report the DC characteristics of n-p-n InP/InGaAs/InGaAsP HBT's which have a composite-collector structure designed to improve the breakdown and gain. The devices exhibit common-emitter current gain of greater than 8 for over 9 orders of magnitude of collector current and breakdown voltages greater than 10 V. The DC gain for a typical device decreases from 40 at room temperature to 8 at 90 K. Over the same temperature range the collector-current ideality factor increases from 1.04 to 1.46, and the base current ideality factor is 0.05 to 0.1 larger than these values. We suggest that the high collector-current ideality factor and the lower gain at the lower temperatures is due to the increasing importance of tunneling of current across the emitter-base junction. The devices with the InGaAs/InGaAsP composite-collector structure offer better common-base turn-on behavior than those with InGaAs/InP as the collector structure, without the breakdown behavior being compromised
