We report the growth, fabrication, and characterization of high performance Schottky metal-semiconductor-metal solar-blind photodetectors fabricated on epitaxial Al0.4Ga0.6N layers grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The devices exhibited low dark current (<2 pA at 30 V) and a gain-enhanced ultraviolet (UV) photocurrent for bias voltages >40 V. The gain was corroborated by external quantum efficiency measurements reflecting a quantum efficiency as high as 49% (at=272 nm) at 90 V bias, with a corresponding responsivity R=107 mA/W. A visible-to-UV rejection factor of more than three orders of magnitude was demonstrated. Time-domain and frequency-domain speed measurements show a 3-dB bandwidth of ∼100 MHz. Low-frequency noise measurements have determined a detectivity (D*) as high as 3.3 1010 cm·Hz1/2/W for a 500 Hz bandwidth at 37 V bias.  相似文献

Abstract: Back-illuminated AlxGal-xN-based dual-band solar-blind ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors (PDs) are realized by a three-terminal n-i-p-i-n heterojunction structure which is grown on sapphire substrate by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The two p-i-n junctions contained in the heterojunction structure can work separately and independently. Working in the photovoltaic mode, the PDs display peak responsivity of ~10.8 mA/W at 242 nm and ~5.0 mA/W at 257 nm, respectively. The two junctions with different size, whose diameters are 500 μm and 800 μm, exhibit almost the same leakage current of ~1.3× 10-9 A at a reverse bias of 10 V. Therefore, dark current densities of the two junctions are close to 6.6 × 10-7 A/cm2 and 2.6 × 10-7 A/cm2 at -10 V respectively.  相似文献

Monte Carlo methods are used to compare electronic transport and device behavior in n+-AlxGa1-xAs/GaAs modulation-doped field-effect transistors (MODFETs) at 300 K for x =0.10, 0.15, 0.22, 0.30, 0.35, and 0.40. The differences between the x=0.22 and x=0.30 MODFETs with respect to parasitic conduction in AlxGa1-xAs, gate currents, and switching times, are of particular interest. The donor-related deep levels in AlxGa1-xAs, are disregarded by assuming all donors to be fully ionized, and the focus is only on the confinement and transport of the carriers. The following quantities are studied in detail: transfer characteristics (ID versus V G), transconductance (gm), switching speeds (τON), parasitic conduction in AlxGa 1-xAs, gate current (IG), average electron velocities and energies in GaAs and AlxGa1-x As, electron concentration in the device domain, k-space transfer (to low mobility L and X valleys), and details of the real-space transfer process  相似文献

The DX-center-related short-pulse threshold voltage shifts (SPTVS) in AlxGa1-xAs-based MODFETs is modeled using CBAND, a simulator that solves Poisson equations self-consistently with Schrodinger equations and donor statistics. Using values given in the literature for the DX energy level in AlxGa1-xAs this technique gives good agreement between measured and simulated SPTVS for Al0.3Ga0.7As/GaAs and Al0.3Ga0.7As/In0.2Ga0.8As MODFETs. Both simulation and experiment show that the use of Al0.2 Ga0.8As in the donor layer reduces the SPTVS relative to the structures using Al0.3Ga0.7As. However, the measured shifts at this composition are considerably lower than the simulated values, indicating a DX energy level that may be higher than the value extrapolated from the literature, possibly due to the existence of multiple trap levels. Despite this discrepancy, these results support the use of strained-channel layers and lower Alx Ga1-xAs compositions in MODFETs for digital and other large-signal applications requiring good threshold stability  相似文献

Short-pulse drain current versus gate voltage transfer characteristics measured for modulation-doped HFETs (MODFETs) with four donor-layer-channel-layer combinations-(1) Al0.3Ga0.7 As-GaAs, (2) Al0.2Ga0.8As-GaAs, (3) Al0.3Ga0.7As-In0.2Ga0.8As, and (4) Al0.2Ga0.8As-In0.2 a0.8 As-are compared with the DC transfer characteristics. The measurements are relevant to high-speed switching in HFET circuits. Significant shifts in threshold voltage are observed between the DC and short-pulse characteristics for the structures with n+-Al0.3Ga0.7As donor layers, while the corresponding shifts for structures with n+-Al0.2Ga0.8As donor layers are relatively small or virtually nonexistent  相似文献

As AlxGa1-xAs alloys are increasingly used for microwave and millimeter wave power devices and circuits that work under high electric field intensities and junction temperatures; understanding the temperature dependence of impact ionization and related properties in this material system becomes more and more important. Measurements of the multiplication gain and noise of avalanche photodiodes (APDs) provide insight to the avalanche characteristics of semiconductors. Previously, we have reported the characteristics of GaAs and Al0.2Ga0.8As APD's at room temperature. In this paper, the gain and noise of a series of homojunction AlxGa1-xAs APD's were investigated over a wide temperature range from 29°C to 125°C, and the temperature dependence of their ionization coefficients was extracted  相似文献

An investigation of wet oxidized AlxGa1-xAs layers in integrated optical applications is reported. Refractive index and thickness shrinkage of wet oxidized AlxGa1-xAs layers are measured using spectroscopic ellipsometry. A Cauchy fit to the refractive index is found in the wavelength range between 0.3 and 1.6 μm. The refractive index at 1.55 μm is found to be 1.66±0.01 with little dispersion around 1.55 μm. Very low loss single-mode waveguides with metal electrodes showing very low polarization dependence of loss coefficient are fabricated using wet oxidized AlxGa1-xAs layers as upper cladding. Optical polarization splitters are also designed and fabricated from the same type of waveguides taking advantage of increased birefringence. Designs utilizing wet oxidized AlxGa1-xAs are compared with conventional designs using only compound semiconductor heterostructures  相似文献

The previously unsolved problem of rectification at AlxGa1-xAs-GaAs N-n heterojunction is found to originate from a vague concept regarding the maximum junction grading width which can sustain rectification. The theoretical current density vs voltage characteristics of this heterojunction system are derived from thermionic emission theory. It is found that, unless the impurity concentration of the AlGaAs layer (prepared by LPE techniques) is less than 1016 cm?3, typical 90–200 Å metallurgical grading widths at the N-n heterojunction interface produce either ohmic or poorly rectifying characteristics. These results explain (1) the lack of rectification in most N-n AlxGa1-xAs-GaAs heterojunctions reported in the literature and (2) the recent observation of significant rectification in high purity (N)Al0.3Ga0.7As-(n)GaAs heterojunctions reported by Chandra and Eastman.  相似文献

Results are presented from ensemble Monte Carlo simulations of the relaxation of photoexcited electrons and holes. The results are compared directly with three types of femtosecond optical experiments: transient absorption saturation, pump and continuum probe, and tunable pump-probe experiments. For these experiments we find that intervalley scattering has a dominant effect for the first several hundred femtoseconds, and that electron-electron scattering is only important at later times.  相似文献

The minority electron diffusion length, L, in Mg-doped molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) grown p-type AlxGa1-xN/GaN superlattices with aluminum content x=0.1 and 0.2 was measured perpendicular and parallel to the superlattice planes by the electron beam induced current technique. A large anisotropy in the transport properties was observed with the effect varying from 1:3 to 1:6. We attribute an experimentally observed diffusion length anisotropy to minority electron scattering during transport across the potential barriers of the superlattice. Reference p-GaN samples were also investigated, and the diffusion length was observed to be isotropic in both MOCVD (L=0.5 μm) and MBE (L=0.27 μm) grown samples  相似文献

A microwave-compatible process for fabricating planar integrated resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) is described. High-performance RTDs have been fabricated using AlxGa1-xAs/Iny Ga1-yAs/GaAs strained layers. Peak-to-valley current ratios (PVRs) of 4.8:1 with simultaneous peak current densities of 4×104 A/cm2 have been achieved at room temperature for diodes of area 9 μm2. Accurate measurements of reflection gain versus frequency between 1.5 and 26.5 GHz in the negative differential region indicate that the present technology is promising for millimeter-wave integrated circuits including self-oscillating mixers, frequency multipliers, and detectors  相似文献

The first GaAs/AlxGa1-xAs superlattice waveguide absorption modulators operating at ~860 nm that utilize the Wannier-Stark effect are reported. The n=-1 Stark ladder peak, which is the transition from the valence band well to the nearest neighbor conduction band well, is used. This peak shifts rapidly with applied electric field, resulting in drive voltages lower than can be achieved using the quantum-confined Stark effect for quantum-well waveguides of similar structure. For a 1000-μm-long waveguide at 867 nm, the authors obtain an extinction ratio of ~20 dB and a 4-dB attenuation with a drive voltage of 2 V  相似文献

An AlxGa1-xSb avalanche photodiode (APD) with an Al composition of 0.05 has been fabricated and tested. The measured gain-bandwidth (GB) product of the highly doped diode is 90 GHz. Such a large GB product has never been previously achieved by any APD materials sensitive in the long-wavelength region. This suggests the advantage of the AlxGa1-xSb material system for very high-speed operation  相似文献
