LP—MOCVD生长InGaN及InGaN／GaN量子阱的研究

利用MOCVD系统在Al2O3衬底上生长InGaN材料和InGaN/GaN量子阱结构材料，研究发现InGaN材料中In组份几乎不受TMG与TMI的流量比的影响，而只与生长温度有关，生长温度由800℃降低到740℃，In组份的从0.22增加到0.45；室温InGaN光致发光光谱（PL）峰全半高宽（FWHM）为15.5nm;InGaN/GaN量子阱区InGaN的厚度2nm，但光荧光的强度与100nm厚InGaN的体材料相当。     

InGaN/GaN多量子阱电池的垒层结构优化及其光学特性调控

InGaN基量子阱作为太阳电池器件的有源区时,垒层厚度设计以及实际生长对其光学特性的影响极为重要.采用金属有机化学气相沉积(MOVCD)技术,在蓝宝石衬底上外延生长了垒层厚度较厚的InGaN/GaN多量子阱,使用高分辨X射线衍射和变温光致发光谱研究了垒层厚度对InGaN多量子阱太阳电池结构的界面质量、量子限制效应及其光学特性的影响.较厚垒层的InGaN/GaN多量子阱的周期重复性和界面品质较好,这可能与垒层较薄时对量子阱的生长影响有关.同时,厚垒层InGaN/GaN多量子阱的光致发光光谱峰位随温度升高呈现更为明显的“S”形(红移-蓝移-红移)变化,表现出更强的局域化程度和更高的内量子效率.     

不同形状量子阱的量子限制效应

采用差分法求解有效质量方程，考虑轻重空穴的混合效应及应变效应，对三种不同形状的量子阱的能带结构、价带态密度、跃迁矩阵元进行了比较。在阱宽相同的条件下，方阱有最大的限制能力，但抛物阱和三角阱有更平坦的态密度曲线，使得以抛物阱和三角阱为有源区的激光器和半导体激光放大器可以有较低的透明电流密度。同时价带子带的耦合强烈改变了跃迁矩阵元，这对量子阱的增益特性会产生影响。     

预应变InGaN/GaN多量子阱发光特性调控研究

为了减弱InGaN/GaN量子阱内的压电极化场,在蓝紫光InGaN/GaN多量子阱激光器结构中采用了预应变InGaN插入层,通过变温电致发光和高分辨X射线衍射测量研究了预应变插入层对量子阱晶体质量和发光特性的影响。实验结果显示,常温下有预应变层的量子阱电致发光谱积分强度显著提高。模拟计算进一步表明,预应变层对量子阱内压电极化场有调制效果,有利于量子阱中的应力弛豫,可以有效减弱量子限制斯塔克效应,有助于提高量子阱的发光效率。     

纳米柱InGaN/GaN多量子阱的干法刻蚀制备技术

纳米柱GaN基多量子阱(MQW)拥有量子尺寸效应以及应变释放等特性,对于提高GaN基发光二极管(LED)的发光效率具有重要意义.采用快速热退火(RTA)形成的自组装Ni纳米颗粒作为刻蚀掩膜,利用电感耦合等离子体反应离子刻蚀(ICP-RIE)制备纳米柱InGaN/GaN MQW.通过改变RTA温度发现在800℃以上才能有效形成Ni纳米颗粒掩膜.不同的ICP和射频(RF)功率条件下制备的纳米柱MQW光致发光强度相比于相同结构的平面MQW会发生显著变化.通过优化ICP-RIE的刻蚀条件,可以获得发光强度显著提高的纳米柱MQW结构.同时,纳米柱MQW中压电极化场的减弱会形成光致发光峰位蓝移.

声子局域性对量子阱中激子的影响(英文)

The facts that in a semicondutor layered structure LO-phonon modes are rather confined in each layer and the penetration of the vibrations into the adjacent layer is negligible are well accepted. We investigate the po-laronic effect on exciton in GaAs-AlGaAs quantum wells on the basis of an electron-and hole-LO-phonon interaction Hamiltonian incorporating the peculiaties of the dispersive confined LO-phonon. The calculation of the polaronic energy is performed by using LLP variational formalism. The results of the numerical calculation are compared with earlier works without considering the effect of confinement. It is found that the exciton binding energy increases by 10% when the LO-phonon confinement is considered.     

GaN{11-22}半极性面上生长InGaN/GaN多量子阱的研究

利用选择性横向外延技术生长{11-22}半极性面GaN模板,并利用半极性面模板生长InGaN/GaN多量子阱结构。结果表明,生长出的GaN模板由半极性面{11-22}面和c面组成,多量子阱具有390nm和420 nm的双峰发光特性,局域阴极发光(CL)测试表明390 nm附近的发光峰来源于半极性面上的量子阱发光,而420 nm左右的发光峰源于c面量子阱发光。c面量子阱发光相对于斜面量子阱发光发生显著红移是因为在选择性横向外延生长过程中,In组分相比Ga较易从掩模区域向窗口中心区域迁移,形成了中心高In组分的c面量子阱,而半极性面上InGaN/GaN多量子阱量子限制斯塔克效应相比于极性面会减弱,此外,相同生长条件下半极性面的生长速率低于极性c面的生长速率。

Quantum Confinement Effects in Strained SiGe/Si Multiple Quantum Wells

Strained SiGe/Si multiple quantum wells (MQWs) were grown by cold-wall ultrahigh vacuum chemical vapor deposition (UHV/CVD). Photoluminescence measurement was performed to study the exciton energies of strained Si0.84 Ge0.16/Si MQWs with SiGe well widths ranging from 4.2nm to 25.4nm. The confinement energy of 43meV is found in the Si0.84Ge0.16/Si MQWs with well width of 4.2nm. The confinement energy was calculated by solving the problem of a particle confined in a single finite rectangular poteintial well using one band effect mass model. Experimental and theoretical confinement energies are in good agreement

Shallow and Deep Centers in As-Grown and Annealed MgZnO/ZnO Structures with Quantum Wells

Shallow and deep centers in ZnO(P)/MgZnO/ZnO/MgZnO/ZnO(Ga) structures grown by pulsed laser deposition on sapphire were studied before and after annealing in oxygen atmosphere at high temperatures of 850°C to 950°C. In both as-grown and annealed structures, microcathodoluminescence spectra in the near-bandgap region demonstrate a blue-shift by 0.13 eV compared with bulk ZnO films, indicating carrier confinement in the MgZnO/ZnO/MgZnO quantum well (QW). Annealing strongly decreases the concentration of shallow uncompensated donors from ~10¹⁷ cm⁻³ to ~10¹⁶ cm⁻³ and makes it possible to probe the region of the QW by capacitance–voltage (C–V) profiling. This profiling confirms charge accumulation in the QW. The dominant electron traps in the as-grown films are the well-known traps with activation energies of 0.3 eV and 0.8 eV. After annealing, the electron traps observed in the structure have activation energies of 0.14 eV, 0.33 eV, and 0.57 eV, with the Fermi level in the n-ZnO(P) pinned by the 0.14-eV traps. The annealing also introduces deep compensating defects that decrease the intensity of band-edge luminescence and produce a deep luminescence defect band at 2.2 eV. In addition, a defect vibrational band becomes visible in Raman spectra near 650 cm⁻¹. No conversion to p-type conductivity was detected. The results are compared with the data for the structures successfully converted to p-type, and possible reasons for the observed differences are discussed.     

InGaN/GaN和InGaN/AlGaN多量子阱中应变对光致发光特性的影响

对蓝宝石衬底上的InGaN/GaN和InGaN/AlGaN多量子阱结构和经激光剥离去除衬底的InGaN/GaN和InGaN/AlGaN多量子阱结构薄膜样品,进行了光致发光谱、高分辨XRD和喇曼光谱测量.PL测量结果表明,相对于带有蓝宝石衬底的样品,InGaN/GaN多量子阱薄膜样品的PL谱峰值波长发生较小的蓝移,而InGaN/AlGaN多量子阱薄膜样品的PL谱峰值波长发生明显的红移;喇曼光谱的结果表明,激光剥离前后E2模的峰值从569.1减少到567.5cm-1.这说明激光剥离去除衬底使得外延层整体的压应力得到部分释放,但InGaN/GaN与InGaN/AlGaN多量子阱结构中阱层InGaN的应力发生了不同的变化.XRD的结果证实了这一结论.
