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.

AlGaN/GaN/InGaN/GaN DH-HEMTs with an InGaN notch for enhanced carrier confinement

We report an AlGaN/GaN/InGaN/GaN double heterojunction high electron mobility transistors (DH-HEMTs) with high-mobility two-dimensional electron gas (2-DEG) and reduced buffer leakage. The device features a 3-nm thin In/sub x/Ga/sub 1-x/N(x=0.1) layer inserted into the conventional AlGaN/GaN HEMT structure. Assisted by the InGaN layers polarization field that is opposite to that in the AlGaN layer, an additional potential barrier is introduced between the 2-DEG channel and buffer, leading to enhanced carrier confinement and improved buffer isolation. For a sample grown on sapphire substrate with MOCVD-grown GaN buffer, a 2-DEG mobility of around 1300 cm/sup 2//V/spl middot/s and a sheet resistance of 420 /spl Omega//sq were obtained on this new DH-HEMT structure at room temperature. A peak transconductance of 230 mS/mm, a peak current gain cutoff frequency (f/sub T/) of 14.5 GHz, and a peak power gain cutoff frequency (f/sub max/) of 45.4 GHz were achieved on a 1/spl times/100 /spl mu/m device. The off-state source-drain leakage current is as low as /spl sim/5 /spl mu/ A/mm at V/sub DS/=10 V. For the devices on sapphire substrate, maximum power density of 3.4 W/mm and PAE of 41% were obtained at 2 GHz.     

Structural and optical investigation of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum well structures with various indium compositions

We have studied the influence of indium (In) composition on the structural and optical properties of In_x Ga_1−xN/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) with In compositions of more than 25% by means of high-resolution x-ray diffraction (HRXRD), photoluminescence (PL), and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). With increasing the In composition, structural quality deterioration is observed from the broadening of the full width athalf maximum of the HRXRD superlattice peak, the broad multiple emission peaks oflow temperature PL, and the increase of defect density in GaN capping layers and InGaN/GaN MQWs. V-defects, dislocations, and two types of tetragonal shape defects are observed within the MQW with 33% In composition by high resolution TEM. In addition, we found that V-defects result in different growth rates of the GaN barriers according to the degree of the bending of InGaN well layers, which changes the period thickness of the superlattice and might be the source of the multiple emission peaks observed in the In_xGa_1−xN/GaN MQWs with high in compositions.     

Temperature dependence of performance of InGaN/GaN MQW LEDs with different indium compositions

The temperature dependence of performance of InGaN/GaN multiple-quantum-well (MQW) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with different indium compositions in the MQWs was investigated. With increasing In composition in the MQWs, the optical performance of the LEDs at room temperature was increased due to an increase in the localized energy states caused by In composition fluctuations in MQWs. As the temperature was increased, however, the decrease in output power for LED with a higher In composition in the MQWs was higher than that of LED with a lower In composition in the MQWs. This could be due to the increased nonradiation recombination through the high defect densities in the MQWs resulted from the increased accumulation of strain between InGaN well and GaN barrier.

Determination of the direction of piezoelectric field in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum-well structures grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition

The direction of the piezoelectric field in InGaN/GaN multiple quantum-well (MQW) structures grown by metal-organic vapor deposition (MOCVD) was determined using excitation-power-density variable photoluminescence (PL). By comparing the excitation-power-density dependence of the shift of the PL peak and the change of the full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) of the peak from an InGaN/GaN MQW structure and an InGaN MQW-based light-emitting diode (LED), the piezoelectric field in the InGaN/GaN MQW structures was unambiguously determined to be pointing toward the substrate. This result helps to identify the surface polarity of the LED wafer as Ga-faced.     

Electroreflectance spectra of InGaN/AlGaN/GaN quantum-well heterostructures

p?n InGaN/AlGaN/GaN heterostructures with InGaN/AlGaN multiple quantum wells are studied by electroreflectance spectroscopy. The structures are grown by metal—organic epitaxy and arranged with the p region in contact with the heat sink. Light is incident on and reflected from the structures through the sapphire substrate. To modulate the reflectivity, rectangular voltage pulses and a dc reverse bias are applied to the p?n junction. A line corresponding to interband transitions in the region of InGaN/AlGaN multiple quantum wells is observed in the electroreflectance spectra. The peak of this line is shifted to shorter wavelengths from the peak of injection luminescence of the light-emitting diode structures. The low-field model developed by Aspnes is used to describe the electroreflectance spectra. By choosing the parameters of the model to fit the experimental data, the effective band gap of the active region of the structure, E _g ^* , is determined at 2.76–2.78 eV. The experimental dependence of E _g ^* on the applied voltage is attributed to the effect of piezoelectric fields in the InGaN quantum wells. In the electroreflectance spectra, an interference pattern is observed in the wide spectral range from 1.4 to 3.2 eV. The interference is due to the dependence of the effective refractive index on the electric field.
