Long-wavelength In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As-In/sub 0.52/Al/sub 0.48/As large-area avalanche photodiodes and arrays

Large-area (500-/spl mu/m diameter) mesa-structure In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As-In/sub 0.52/Al/sub 0.48/As avalanche photodiodes (APDs) are reported. The dark current density was /spl sim/2.5/spl times/10/sup -2/ nA//spl mu/m/sup 2/ at 90% of breakdown; low surface leakage current density (/spl sim/4.2 pA//spl mu/m) was achieved with wet chemical etching and SiO/sub 2/ passivation. An 18 /spl times/ 18 APD array with uniform distributions of breakdown voltage, dark current, and multiplication gain has also been demonstrated. The APDs in the array achieved 3-dB bandwidth of /spl sim/8 GHz at low gain and a gain-bandwidth product of /spl sim/120 GHz.     

Low-dark-current low-voltage 1.3?1.6 ?m avalanche photodiode with high-low electric field profile and separate absorption and multiplication regions by molecular beam epitaxy

This new structure which features a doping spike in the wide gap layer offers several advantages over conventional SAM APDs (lower dark current and excess noise factor, greater gain stability). Low dark currents (?1 nA), low voltage operation (?26 V) and gains as high as 50 at 1.60 ?m are demonstrated in an Al0.48In0.52As/Ga0 47In0 53As prototype grown by molecular beam epitaxy.     

Characteristics of a In0.52(AlxGa1-x)0.48As/In0.53Ga0.47As(0⩽x⩽1) heterojunction and its application onHEMT's

The quaternary In_0.52(Al_xGa_1-x) _0.48As compound on InP substrates is an important material for use in optoelectronic and microwave devices. We systematically investigated the electrical properties of quaternary In_0.52(Al_xGa_1-x)_0.48As layers, and found a 10% addition of Ga atoms into the InAlAs layer improves the Schottky diode performance. The energy bandgap (E_g ) for the In_0.52(Al_xGa_1-x)_0.48As layer was (0.806+0.711x) eV, and the associated conduction-band discontinuity (ΔE_c), in the InAlGaAs/In_0.53Ga_0.47 As heterojunction, was around (0.68±0.01)ΔE_g . Using this high quality In_0.52(Al_0.9Ga_0.1)_0.48As layer in the Schottky and buffer layers, we obtained quaternary In_0.52(Al_0.9Ga_0.1)_0.48As/In _0.53Ga_0.47As HEMTs. This quaternary HEMT revealed excellent dc and microwave characteristics. In comparison with the conventional InAlAs/InGaAs HEMT's, quaternary HEMT's demonstrated improved sidegating and device reliability     

A 1 cm/spl times/1 cm In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As-In/sub 0.52/Al/sub 0.48/As avalanche photodiode array

We report a 1 cm/spl times/1 cm array of 100 In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As-In/sub 0.52/Al/sub 0.48/As avalanche photodiodes (APD). The average breakdown voltage was 28.7 V with a standard deviation of less than 0.5 V. The distribution of breakdown voltage across the area followed a radial pattern consistent with a slight epitaxial growth nonuniformity. The mean dark current at a gain of 10, or 6.1 A/W, was 10.3 nA, and none of the 100 APDs had a dark current of more than 25 nA. The bandwidth at a gain of 10 was 6.2 GHz, and the maximum gain-bandwidth product was 140 GHz. This technology is ideally suited for next-generation three-dimensional imaging applications.

We report a 12 /spl times/ 12 In/sub 0.53/Ga/sub 0.47/As-In/sub 0.52/Al/sub 0.48/As avalanche photodiode (APD) array. The mean breakdown voltage of the APD was 57.9 V and the standard deviation was less than 0.1 V. The mean dark current was /spl sim/2 and /spl sim/300 nA, and the standard deviation was /spl sim/0.19 and /spl sim/60 nA at unity gain (V/sub bias/ = 13.5 V) and at 90% of the breakdown voltage, respectively. External quantum efficiency was above 40% in the wavelength range from 1.0 to 1.6 /spl mu/m. It was /spl sim/57% and /spl sim/45% at 1.3 and 1.55 /spl mu/m, respectively. A bandwidth of 13 GHz was achieved at low gain.     

0.12 μm transferred-substrateIn0.52Al0.48As/In0.53Ga0.47As HEMTs on silicon wafer

These new TS-HEMTs exhibit typical drain currents of 450 mA/mm and extrinsic transconductance up to 770 mS/mm. An extrinsic current gain cutoff frequency f_T of 185 GHz is obtained. That result is the first reported for In_0.52Al_0.48As/In_0.53Ga_0.47 As TS-HEMTs on Silicon substrate     

In0.52Al0.48As/In0.53Ga0.47As double-heterojunction p-n-p bipolar transistors grown bymolecular beam epitaxy

P-n-p In_0.52Al_0.48As/In_0.53Ga_0.47 As double-heterojunction bipolar transistors with a p⁺-InAs emitter cap layer grown by molecular-beam epitaxy have been realized and tested. A five-period 15-Å-thick In_0.53Ga_0.47As/InAs superlattice was incorporated between the In_0.53Ga_0.47As and InAs cap layer to smooth out the valence-band discontinuity. Specific contact resistance of 1×10^-5 and 2×10^-6 Ω-cm² were measured for nonalloyed emitter and base contacts, respectively. A maximum common emitter current gain of 70 has been measured for a 1500-Å-thick base transistor at a collector current density of 1.2×10³ A/cm². Typical current gains of devices with 50×50-μm² emitter areas were around 50 with ideality factors of 1.4
