Caracterización eléctrica de transistores basados en nitruros

[ES] Los transistores más rápidos se consiguen gracias al crecimiento de diferentes semiconductores apilados. Entre los semiconductores es posible confinar una elevada concentración de electrones de alta movilidad, dando lugar a transistores con gran velocidad de respuesta. Cuando se emplea el sistema AlGaN/GaN, los enlaces interatómicos poseen un elevado carácter iónico. Estos iones generan intensos campos eléctricos internos, que inducen entre el AlGaN y el GaN una concentración de electrones de 1013 cm-2, un orden de magnitud superior a la alcanzada con otras estructuras típicas (AlGaAs/GaAs, AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs, GaInP/InGaAs/GaAs, etc.). En este artículo se expone un análisis de los aspectos fundamentales relacionados con la distribución de los electrones bajo la puerta de los transistores basados en nitruros.

Anomalous temperature dependence of Fermi-edge singularity in modulation-doped AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs hetero-structures

The temperature and power dependence of Fermi-edge singularity (FES) in high-density two-dimensional electron gas, specific to pseudomorphic AlxGa1-xAs/InGa1-yAs/GaAs heterostructures is studied by photoluminescence (PL). In all these structures, there are two prominent transitions E-11 and E-21 considered to be the result of electron-hole recombination from first and second electron sub-bands with that of first heavy-hole sub-band. FES is observed approximately 5-10 meV below the E-21 transition. At 4.2 K, FES appears as a lower energy shoulder to the E-21 transition. The PL intensity of all the three transitions E-11, FES and E-21 grows linearly with excitation power. However, we observe anomalous behavior of FES with temperature. While PL intensity of E-11 and E-21 decrease with increasing temperature, FES transition becomes stronger initially and then quenches-off slowly (till 40K). Though it appears as a distinct peak at about 20 K, its maximum is around 7 - 13 K.

Fermi-edge singularity in photoluminescence spectra of modulation-doped AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs quantum wells

The photoluminescence study of Fermi-edge singularity (FES) in modulation-doped pseudomorphic AlxGa1-xAs/InyGa1-yAs/GaAs quantum well (QW) heterostructures is presented. In the above QW structures the optical transitions between n = 1 and n = 2 electronic subband to the n = 1 heavy hole subband (E-11 and E-21 transitions, respectively) are observed with FES appearing as a lower energy shoulder to the E-21 transition. The observed FES is attributed to the Fermi wave vector in the first electronic subband under the conditions of population of the second electronic subband. The FES appears at about 10 meV below E-21 transition around 4.2 K. Initially it gets stronger with increasing temperature and becomes a distinct peak at about 20 K. Further increase in temperature quenches FES and reaches the base line at around 40 K.

Electroluminescence from modulation-doped pseudomorphic AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs quantum wells

Low-temperature electroluminescence (EL) is observed in n-type modulation-doped AlGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs quantum well samples by applying a positive voltage between the semitransparent Au gate and alloyed Au–Ge Ohmic contacts made on the top surface of the samples. We attribute impact ionization in the InGaAs QW to the observed EL from the samples. A redshift in the EL spectra is observed with increasing gate bias. The observed redshift in the EL spectra is attributed to the band gap renormalization due to many-body effects and quantum-confined Stark effect.
