Ion-Implantation Control of Ferromagnetism in (Ga,Mn)As Epitaxial Layers

Epitaxial layers of (Ga,Mn)As ferromagnetic semiconductor have been subjected to low-energy ion implantation by applying a very low fluence of either chemically active, oxygen ions or inactive ions of neon noble gas. Several complementary characterization techniques have been used with the aim of studying the effect of ion implantation on the layer properties. Investigation of their electrical and magnetic properties revealed that implantation with either O or Ne ions completely suppressed both the conductivity and ferromagnetism in the layers. On the other hand, Raman spectroscopy measurements evidenced that O ion implantation influenced optical properties of the layers noticeably stronger than did Ne ion implantation. Moreover, structural modifications of the layers caused by ion implantation were investigated using high-resolution x-ray diffraction technique. A mechanism responsible for ion-implantation-induced suppression of the conductivity and ferromagnetism in (Ga,Mn)As layers, which could be applied as a method for tailoring nanostructures in the layers, is discussed in terms of defects created in the layers by the two implanted elements.

Interlayer exchange coupling in (Ga,Mn)As ferromagnetic semiconductor multilayer systems

This paper describes interlayer exchange coupling (IEC) phenomena in ferromagnetic multilayer structures, focusing on the unique IEC features observed in ferromagnetic semiconductor (Ga,Mn)As-based systems. The dependence of IEC on the structural parameters, such as non-magnetic spacer thickness, number of magnetic layers, and carrier density in the systems has been investigated by using magnetotransport measurements. The samples in the series show both a typical anisotropic magnetoresistance (AMR) and giant magnetoresistance (GMR)-like effects indicating realization of both ferromagnetic (FM) and antiferromagnetic (AFM) IEC in (Ga,Mn)As-based multilayer structures. The results revealed that the presence of carriers in the non-magnetic spacer is an important factor to realize AFM IEC in this system. The studies further reveal that the IEC occurs over a much longer distance than predicted by current theories, strongly suggesting that the IEC in (Ga,Mn)As-based multilayers is a long-range interaction. Due to the long-range nature of IEC in the (Ga,Mn)As-based systems, the next nearest neighbor (NNN) IEC cannot be ignored and results in multi-step transitions during magnetization reversal that correspond to diverse spin configurations in the system. The strength of NNN IEC was experimentally determined by measuring minor loops that correspond to magnetization flips in specific (Ga,Mn)As layer in the multilayer system.     

Study of the electrical properties of individual (Ga,Mn)As nanowires

Arrays of (Ga, Mn)As nanowire crystals are synthesized by molecular-beam epitaxy. Electronbeam lithography made possible the fabrication of electric contacts to individual nanowires. The influence of the annealing temperature on the properties of the contacts is studied. The optical annealing temperature is determined to be 160°C. It is found that an increase in the annealing temperature yields structure degradation. From studies of the current-voltage characteristics of the individual nanowire structures, a number of their electrical parameters, such as the resistivity and the mobility of charge carriers are determined.     

Submicron p-channel (Al,Ga)As/(In,Ga)As HIGFETs

Submicron p-channel (Al,Ga)As/(In,Ga)As HIGFETs have been optimized for application to high-performance complementary GaAs circuits. Major issues with submicron and deep submicron (L_g⩽0.5-μm) P-channel HIGFETs have been the severe short-channel effects, such as high subthreshold leakage currents and high output conductances. With optimization of the p-type self-aligned implant schedule, control of impurity contamination at the substrate/buffer interfaces and increase of the resistivity of the unintentionally-doped GaAs buffers, high-performance submicron devices have been realized. Typically, 0.5-μm P-HIGFETs yielded room temperature transconductances of 90 mS/mm, drain currents at V_gs =V_ds=-1.5 V of 63 mA/mm, and subthreshold leakage currents near 1 nA. Subthreshold slope of 90 mV/decade and output conductances under 5 mS/mm were realized     

High-performance self-aligned (Al,Ga)As/(In,Ga)As pseudomorphicHIGFETs

Transconductance as high as 676 mS/mm at 300 K was observed to 0.7×10-μm² n-channel devices (HIGFETs) made on epilayers with Al_0.3Ga_0.7As insulator thickness of 200 Å and In_0.15Ga_0.85As channel thickness of 150 Å. An FET K value (K=W_g Uε/2aL_g) as large as 10.6 mA/V ² was also measured from another device with transconductance of 411 mS/mm. The high K values are achieved under normal FET operation without hole-injection or drain-avalanche breakdown effects. These results demonstrate the promise of pseudomorphic (Al,Ga)As/(In,Ga)As HIGFETs for high-performance circuit applications
