Effects of V/III ratio on InGaAs and InP grown at low temperature by LP-MOCVD

Effects of V/III ratio on heavily Si doped InGaAs and InP were studied using low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (LP-MOCVD) at a growth temperature of 550degreesC. In InGaAs, as the V/III ratio decreases from 256 to 64, the carrier concentration increases from 3.0 x 10(18) to 5.8 x 10(18) cm(-3), and the lattice mismatch of InGaAs to InP was observed to vary from -5.70 x10(-4) to 1.49 x 10(-3). In InP, when the V/III ratio decreases from 230 to 92, the same trend as that in Si doped InGaAs was observed that the carrier concentration increases from 9.2 x 10(18) to 1.3 x 10(19) cm(-3). The change of AsH3 was found to have stronger effect on Si incorporation in InGaAs at lower growth temperature than at higher growth temperature. (C) 2003 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

4×4热光SOI波导开关阵列

设计并制作了阻塞型和完全无阻塞型4×4热光SOI(silicon-on-insulator)波导开关阵列.开关单元采用了多模干涉耦合器(MMI)-MZI(Mach-Zehnder intederometer)结构的2×2光开关.阻塞型光开关附加损耗为4.8～5.4 dB,串扰为-21.8 dB～-14.5 dB.完全无阻塞型光开关阵列附加损耗为6.6～9.6 dB,串扰为-25.8～-16.8 dB.两者的消光比都在17～25 dB内变化,开关单元功耗小于230 mW.器件的开关时间小于3μs.功耗和开关速度都明显优于SiO_2基和聚合物基的开关阵列.

两种结构GaN基太阳盲紫外探测器

分别在金属有机化学汽相沉积（MOCVD）生长的i-Al0.33Ga0.67N／AlN／n-GaN和p-Al0.45Ga0．55N／i—Al0.45Ga0.55N／n＋-Al0.65Ga0.35N的异质结构上，成功研制了太阳盲区的肖特基型和PIN型紫外探测器。研究结果表明，Au与i—Al0.33Ga0.67N形成了较好的肖特基结，响应波长从250—290nm，峰值（286nm）响应率约为0．08A／W；PIN型紫外探测器的响应波长从230～275nm，峰值（246nm）响应率约为0．02A／W。

利用MBE方法在(001)衬底上成功地生长了密度大、尺寸小、发红光的InAlAs/Al-GaAs量子点结构。通过原子力显微镜观测表明，InAlAs量子点的密度和大小都随覆盖厚度的增加而增大；发现Al原子的表面迁移率决定InAlAs量子点的形貌。光荧光谱证实了量子点的发光峰值在红光范围，并结合形貌的统计得到了量子点的发光峰展宽主要是受量子点的横向尺寸影响。
