THE MODULATION PRINCIPLE OF VACUUM ON THE SUPERCONDUCTIVITY OF YBCO

By neutron diffraction and other experiments, we have found that oxygen ions in YBCO can diffuse out of the sample in vacuo at room and low temperature, while the T(c) decreases greatly. We have also found that if the vacuum-deoxidation process lasts for several days there will be a damping oscillation of T(c) with time (t), and higher vacuum corresponds to a greater amplitude and a shorter period. We tentatively think that T(c) should satisfy the following function: T(c0) is-proportional-to T(c)e(-betat)cos (omegat + phi); it may be due to the diffusion of oxygen and the saturation of the valence state.

HIGH-EFFICIENCY TOP SURFACE-EMITTING LASERS FABRICATED BY 4 IMPLANTATION USING TUNGSTEN WIRE AS MASK

We report the results of a high efficiency room temperature continuous wave (cw) vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser. The structure is obtained by four deep H+ implantation using tungsten wires as the mask. The fabrication process is the simplest ever reported in vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser fabrication. The largest differential quantum efficiency of 65% and maximum cw light output power over 4 mW have been achieved for the 15X15 mu m(2) device. (C) 1995 American Institute of Physics.

ENHANCEMENT EFFECT OF PLASMA-ENHANCED CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITED SIN CAPPING LAYER ON DIELECTRIC CAP QUANTUM-WELL DISORDERING

Quantum well disordering of GaAs/AlGaAs multiple quantum well(MQW) has been accomplished with only plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposited (PECVD) SiN cap layer growth. The amount of blue shift increases with SiN growing time. This result has been explained by the vacancy indiffusion during PECVD SiN growth. Rapid thermal annealing (RTA) of the sample after SiN cap layer growth at 850 degrees C for 35 s caused a larger amount of blue shift than those obtained without RTA. By considering the model of Al diffusion from AlGaAs barrier into GaAs QWs together with the result from photoluminescence (PL) measurement, Al diffusion coefficients were calculated. The Al diffusion coefficient due to PECVD SiN was estimated at about 3 x10(-17) cm(2)/s. It was possible to extract the effect of RTA on the QW disordering, which showed that the amount of the blue shift and the Al diffusion coefficient due only to RTA increases with SiN cap layer thickness as reported by Chi et al.(10))

DIFFERENT INTERDIFFUSION CHARACTERISTICS BETWEEN AG/YBA2CU3O7-X AND AL/YBA2CU3O7-X CONTACT INTERFACES

The differences between the interdiffusion characteristics of Ag/YBa2Cu3O7-x and Al/YBa2Cu3O7-x contact interfaces have been revealed by secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The different electrical properties of Ag/YBa2Cu3O7-x and YBa2Cu3O7-x films after high temperature treatment are well understood by the SIMS results.

Fabrication of Windowed Very-Small-Aperture Laser Diodes

A windowed very-small-aperture laser 9VSAL0 source for use in high-resolution near field optical data storage is fabricated. The windowed regions are introduced to avoid shorting the pn junction with metal coating and suppress the COD effect. It facilitates producing VSAL by simplified technology and improves the laser performance. A VSAL with 400nm small sperture is demonstrated by focused ion beam (FIB0 and the output power is 0.3mW at 31mA.

Optical analysis of AlGaInP laser diodes with real refractive index guided self-aligned structure

Optical modes of AlGaInP laser diodes with real refractive index guided self-aligned (RISA) structure were analyzed theoretically on the basis of two-dimension semivectorial finite-difference methods (SV-FDMs) and the computed simulation results were presented. The eigenvalue and eigenfunction of this two-dimension waveguide were obtained and the dependence of the confinement factor and beam divergence angles in the direction of parallel and perpendicular to the pn junction on the structure parameters such as the number of quantum wells, the Al composition of the cladding layers, the ridge width, the waveguide thickness and the residual thickness of the upper P-cladding layer were investigated. The results can provide optimized structure parameters and help us design and fabricate high performance AlGaInP laser diodes with a low beam aspect ratio required for optical storage applications.

Design and fabrication of GaAs OMIST photodetector

We designed and fabricated GaAs OMIST (Optical-controlled Metal-Insulator-Semiconductor Thyristor) device. Using oxidation of A1As layer that is grown by MBE form the Ultra-Thin semi-Insulating layer (UTI) of the GAAS OMIST. The accurate control and formation of high quality semi-insulating layer (AlxOy) are the key processes for fabricating GaAs OMIST. The device exhibits a current-controlled negative resistance region in its I-V characteristics. When illuminated, the major effect of optical excitation is the reduction of the switching voltage. If the GaAs OMIST device is biased at a voltage below its dark switching voltage V-s, sufficient incident light can switch OMIST from high impedance low current"off"state to low impedance high current "on"state. The absorbing material of OMIST is GaAs, so if the wavelength of incident light within 600 similar to 850nm can be detected effectively. It is suitable to be used as photodetector for digital optical data process. The other attractive features of GaAs OMIST device include suitable conducted current, switching voltage and power levels for OEIC, high switch speed and high sensitivity to light or current injection.

Visible vertical cavity surface emitting laser

We have designed and fabricated the visible vertical-cavity surface-emitting lasers (VCSEL's) by using metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). We use the 8 lambda optical cavities with 3 quantum wells in AlGaInP/AlGaAs red VCSEL's to reduce the drift leakage current and enhance the model gain in AlGaInP active region. The structure has a p-type stack with 36 DBR pairs on the top and an n-type with 55-1/2 pairs on the bottom. Using micro-area reflectance spectrum, we try to get a better concordance between the center wavelength of DBR and the emitting wavelength of the active region. We used a component graded layer of 0.05 lambda thick (x = 0.5 similar to 0.9) at the p-type DBR AlGaAs/AlAs interface to reduce the resistance of p-type DBR. We use selective oxidation to define the current injection path. Because the oxidation rate of a thick layer is faster than a thinner one, we grown a thick AlAs layer close to the active region. In this way, we got a smaller active region for efficient confinement of injected carriers (the aperture area is 3 x 3 mu m) to reduce the threshold and, at the same time, a bigger conductive area in the DBR layers to reduce the resistance. We employ Zn doping on the p-side of the junction to improve hole injection and control the Zn dopant diffusion to get proper p-i-n junction. At room temperature, pulse operation of the laser has been achieved with the low threshold current of 0.8mA; the wavelength is about 670nm.

Effects of residual C and O impurities on photoluminescence in undoped GaN epilayers

Photoluminescence (PL) was investigated in undoped GaN from 4.8 K to room temperature. The 4.8 K spectra exhibited recombinations of free exciton, donor-acceptor pair (DAP), blue and yellow bands (Ybs). The blue band (BB) was also identified to be a DAP recombination. The YB was assigned to a recombination from deep levels. The energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy show that C and O are the main residual impurities in undoped GaN and that C concentration is lower in the epilayers with the stronger BB. The electronic structures of native defects, C and O impurities, and their complexes were calculated using ab initio local-density-functional (LDF) methods with linear muffin-tin-orbital and 72-atomic supercell. The theoretical analyses suggest that the electron transitions from O-N states to C-N and to V-Ga states are responsible for DAP and the BB, respectively, and the electron transitions between the inner levels of the C-N-O-N complex may be responsible for the YB in our samples.
