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. 相似文献

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。 相似文献

InGaN系绿光LED的量子阱结构具有较高的In含量,InN与GaN之间较大的晶格失配度使得绿光器件的量子限制Stark效应更显著。对内建电场的屏蔽可以有效提高载流子的辐射复合效率。论文探讨了绿光多量子阱中垒层的Si掺杂对绿光器件性能的影响。研究发现,多量子阱中垒层适度Si掺杂(3.4×1016 cm-3)可以改善多量子阱结构界面质量和In组分波动,在外加正向电流的作用下更大程度地屏蔽极化电场;同时,还能够增强电流的横向扩展性,提高活化区的有效发光面积。然而,多量子阱中垒层的过度Si掺杂对于绿光LED器件的性能带来诸多的负面影响,比如加剧阱垒晶格失配、漏电途径明显增加等,致使器件光效大幅度降低。 相似文献

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. 相似文献

The optical gain and the luminescence of an InGaN quantum well with quaternary AlInGaN barriers is studied theoretically. We calculated the non-Markovian optical gain and the luminescence for the strained-layer wurtzite quantum well taking into account of many-body effects. It is predicted that both optical gain and luminescence are enhanced significantly when aluminum and indium are introduced into the quaternary barrier composition. Adding the aluminum to the barrier will increase of the confinement potentials for electrons and holes, while the indium will reduce the biaxial strain, which in turn reduces the internal field caused by spontaneous polarization and piezoelectric effects. 相似文献

Effects of built-in polarization and carrier overflow on InGaN quantum-well lasers with a ternary AlGaN or a quaternary AlInGaN electronic blocking layer (EBL) have been numerically investigated by employing an advanced device-simulation program. The simulation results indicate that the characteristics of InGaN quantum-well lasers can be improved by using the quaternary AlInGaN EBL. When the aluminum and indium compositions in the AlInGaN EBL are appropriately designed, the built-in charge density at the interface between the InGaN barrier and the AlInGaN EBL can be reduced. Under this circumstance, the electron leakage current and the laser threshold current can obviously be decreased as compared with the laser structure with a conventional AlGaN EBL when the built-in polarization is taken into account in the calculation. Furthermore, the AlInGaN EBL also gives a higher refractive index than the AlGaN EBL, which is a benefit for a higher quantum-well optical confinement factor in laser operations. 相似文献

We have demonstrated the growth of quaternary AIlnGaN compounds at different growth temperatures and pressures with metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). The optical properties of the samples have been investigated by photoluminescence (PL) at different temperatures. The results show that the sample grown at higher temperature (850℃) exhibits the best optical quality for its sharp band edge luminescence and weak yellow luminescence. The AlInGaN exhibited three-dimensional (3D) growth mode at higher pressure. The band edge emission almost disappeared. With the optimization of AlInGaN growth parameters, we replaced the traditional barrier in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) with AlInGaN barriers. The peak wavelength for the InGaN/AlInGaN-MQW based light emitting diodes (LEDs) was very stable at various injection current levels because of the polarization-matched InGaN/AlInGaN MQWs. 相似文献

We demonstrate a low-threshold AlInGaN/InGaN/GaN metal-oxide semiconductor double heterostructure field-effect transistor (MOS-DHFET) for high-frequency operation. A combination of an InGaN channel (for carrier confinement), a DRE process, and a new digital-oxide-deposition technique helped us to achieve MOS-DHFET devices with extremely low subthreshold leakage currents. This reduction in output conductance (short channel effect) resulted in a high cutoff gain frequency fT of about 65 GHz and a current gain frequency f max of 94 GHz. The devices exhibited high drain-currents of 1.3 A/mm and delivered RF powers of 3.1 W/mm at 26 GHz with a 35 V drain bias. 相似文献

To increase carrier confinement, the GaN barrier layer was substituted with an AlInGaN quaternary barrier layer which was lattice-matched to GaN in the GaN-InGaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs). Photoluminescence (PL) and high-resolution X-ray diffraction measurements showed that the AlInGaN barrier layer has a higher bandgap energy than the originally used GaN barrier layer. The PL intensity of the five periods of AlInGaN-InGaN MQWs was increased by three times compared to that of InGaN-GaN MQWs. The electroluminescence (EL) emission peak of AlInGaN-InGaN MQWs ultraviolet light-emitting diode (UV LED) was blue-shifted, compared to a GaN-InGaN MQWs UV LED and the integrated EL intensity of the AlInGaN-InGaN MQWs UV LED increased linearly up to 100 mA. These results indicated that the AlInGaN-InGaN MQWs UV LED has a stronger carrier confinement than a GaN-InGaN MQWs UV LED due to the larger barrier height of the AlInGaN barrier layer compared to a GaN barrier layer. 相似文献

A GaN/ultrathin InGaN/GaN heterojunction has been used to provide a back-barrier to the electrons in an AlGaN/GaN high-electron mobility transistor (HEMT). The polarization-induced electric fields in the InGaN layer raise the conduction band in the GaN buffer with respect to the GaN channel, increasing the confinement of the two-dimensional electron gas under high electric field conditions. The enhanced confinement is especially useful in deep-submicrometer devices where an important improvement in the pinchoff and 50% increase in the output resistance have been observed. These devices also showed excellent high-frequency performance, with a current gain cut-off frequency (f/sub T/) of 153 GHz and power gain cut-off frequency (f/sub max/) of 198 GHz for a gate length of 100 nm. At a different bias, a record f/sub max/ of 230 GHz was obtained. 相似文献

We study the growth of an InGaN and AIGaN/GaN/InGaN/GaN double heterojunction structure by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD).It is found that the crystal quality of the InGaN back barrier layer significantly affects the electronic property of the AIGaN/GaN/InGaN/GaN double heterojunction.A high crystal quality InGaN layer is obtained by optimizing the growth pressure and temperature.Due to the InGaN layer polarization field opposite to that in the AIGaN layer,an additional potential barrier is formed between the GaN and the InGaN layer,which enhances carrier confinement of the 2DEG and reduces the buffer leakage current of devices.The double heterojunction high-electron-mobility transistors with an InGaN back barrier yield a drain induced barrier lowering of 1.5 mⅤ/Ⅴ and the off-sate source-drain leakage current is as low as 2.6μA/mm at VDs = 10 Ⅴ. 相似文献

Recent progress in the development of materials and devices, based on nitrides semiconductors and their ternary alloys, for high power, high-temperature applications has been remarkable. The AlInGaN quaternary alloy exhibits interesting features, as its emission intensity is higher than the ternary AlGaN alloy for certain Al compositions. In addition, it is possible to reach the near to ultraviolet (UV) region. Highly conductive p-type GaN, AlN and AlInGaN layers are of crucial importance in particular for some electronic and optoelectronic devices. However, the controlled doping and its efficiency have been difficult to obtain due to the deep nature of the Mg acceptor. Besides, very little has been reported on the electronic and optical properties of p-doped h-nitride quantum wells. In this work, photoluminescence and absorption spectra calculations of h-InGaN/AlInGaN and AlInGaN/InGaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) have been performed by using the k.p theory within the effective mass approximation. The calculations are carried out by solving self-consistently the 8×8 Kane Hamiltonian together with the Poisson equation for the carriers charge density. Exchange-correlation effects are included within the local density approximation. In our calculations, strain effects due to lattice mismatch and the split-off hole band are taken into account. The Stokes shift, due to many-body effects within the quasi two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG), are also presented. 相似文献

Group III nitride heterostructures with low polarization difference recently moved into the focus of research for realization of enhancement-mode (e-mode) transistors. Quaternary AlInGaN layers as barriers in GaN-based high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) offer the possibility to perform polarization engineering, which allows control of the threshold voltage over a wide range from negative to positive values by changing the composition and strain state of the barrier. Tensile-strained AlInGaN layers with high Al contents generate high two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) densities, due to the large spontaneous polarization and the contributing piezoelectric polarization. To lower the 2DEG density for e-mode HEMT operation, the polarization difference between the barrier and the GaN buffer has to be reduced. Here, two different concepts are discussed. The first is to generate compressive strain with layers having high In contents in order to induce a positive piezoelectric polarization compensating the large negative spontaneous polarization. Another novel approach is a lattice-matched Ga-rich AlInGaN/GaN heterostructure with low spontaneous polarization and improved crystal quality as strain-related effects are eliminated. Both concepts for e-mode HEMTs are presented and compared in terms of electrical performance and structural properties. 相似文献
