穿透型V形坑对GaN基p-i-n结构紫外探测器反向漏电的影响

研究了GaN基p-i-n(p-AlGaN/i-GaN,n-GaN)结构紫外探测器的漏电机理.实验发现,在位错密度几乎相同的情况下,基于表面有较高密度的V形坑缺陷材料制备的器件表现出较高的反向漏电.进一步的SEM测试发现,这种V形坑穿透到有源区i-GaN、甚至n-GaN层.在制备p-AlGaN电极时,许多金属会落在V形坑中,从而与i-GaN形成了肖特基接触.有些甚至直接和n-GaN形成欧姆接触.正是由于并联的肖特基接触和欧姆接触的存在导致了漏电的增加.

p-GaN层厚度对GaN基p-i-n结构紫外探测器性能的影响

研究了p-GaN层厚度对GaN基pin结构紫外探测器性能的影响.模拟计算表明:较厚的p-GaN层会减小器件的量子效率,然而同时也会减小器件的暗电流,较薄的p-GaN层会增加器件的量子效率,但是同时也增加了器件的暗电流.进一步的分析表明,金属和p-GaN之间的结电场是出现这种现象的根本原因.在实际的器件设计中,应该根据实际需要选择p型层的厚度.

快速退火对SiGe/Si多量子阱p-i-n光电二极管的影响（英文）

利用光电流谱，结合X射线双晶衍射研究了快速退火对Si_(1-x)Ge/Si多量子阱p-i-n光电二极管的影响。由于应变SiGe的部分弛豫和Si-Ge互扩散，退火后的二极管的截止波长有显著的减小。但是，在750-850℃范围内，波长蓝移量随着退火温度的增加而变化缓慢，而样品的光电流强度却随温度是先减弱而后又增强，这可能主要是由于在不同温度退火过程中失配位错的产生和点缺陷的减小造成的。

Investigation on integrated high speed DFB light source and narrow bandwidth RCE photodetector for WDM fiber communication network application

Electroabsorption (EA) modulator integrated with partially gain coupling distributed feedback (DFB) lasers have been fabricated and shown high single mode yield and wavelength stability. The small signal bandwidth is about 7.5 GHz. Strained Si1-chiGechi/Si multiple quantum well (MQW) resonant-cavity enhanced (RCE) photodetectors with SiO2/Si distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) as the mirrors have been fabricated and shown a clear narrow bandwidth response. The external quantum efficiency at 1.3 mum is measured to be about 3.5% under reverse bias of 16 V. A novel GaInNAs/GaAs MQW RCE p-i-n photodetector with high reflectance GaAs/ALAs DBR mirrors has also been demonstrated and shown the selectively detecting function with the FWHM of peak response of 12 nm.

Electrostatic mode envelope excitations in e-p-i plasmas - application in warm pair ion plasmas with a small fraction of stationary ions

The nonlinear propagation of amplitude-modulated electrostatic wavepackets in an electron-positron-ion (e-p-i) plasma is considered, by employing a two-fluid plasma model. Considering propagation parallel to the external magnetic field, two distinct electrostatic modes are obtained, namely a quasi-thermal acoustic-like lower mode and a Langmuir-like optic-type upper one. These results equally apply in warm pair ion ( e. g. fullerene) plasmas contaminated by a small fraction of stationary ions ( or dust), in agreement with experimental observations and theoretical predictions in pair plasmas. Considering small yet weakly nonlinear deviations from equilibrium, and adopting a multiple-scales perturbation technique, the basic set of model equations is reduced to a nonlinear Schrodinger (NLS) equation for the slowly varying electric field perturbation amplitude. The analysis reveals that the lower ( acoustic) mode is mostly stable for large wavelengths, and may propagate in the form of a dark-type envelope soliton ( a void) modulating a carrier wavepacket, while the upper linear mode is intrinsically unstable, and thus favours the formation of bright-type envelope soliton ( pulse) modulated wavepackets. The stability ( instability) range for the acoustic ( Langmuir-like optic) mode shifts to larger wavenumbers as the positive-to-negative ion temperature ( density) ratio increases. These results may be of relevance in astrophysical contexts, where e-p-i plasmas are encountered, and may also serve as prediction of the behaviour of doped ( or dust-contaminated) fullerene plasmas, in the laboratory.

Nonlinear Dynamics of Rotating Multi-Component Pair Plasmas and e-p-i Plasmas

The propagation of small amplitude stationary profile nonlinear electrostatic excitations in a pair plasma is investigated, mainly drawing inspiration from experiments on fullerene pair-ion plasmas. Two distinct pair ion species are considered of opposite polarity and same mass, in addition to a massive charged background species, which is assumed to be stationary, given the frequency scale of interest. In the pair-ion context, the third species is thought of as a background defect (e.g. charged dust) component. On the other hand, the model also applies formally to electron-positron-ion (e-p-i) plasmas, if one neglects electron-positron annihilation. A two-fluid plasma model is employed, incorporating both Lorentz and Coriolis forces, thus taking into account the interplay between the gyroscopic (Larmor) frequency ?c and the (intrinsic) plasma rotation frequency O0. By employing a multi-dimensional reductive perturbation technique, a Zakharov-Kuznetsov (ZK) type equation is derived for the evolution of the electric potential perturbation. Assuming an arbitrary direction of propagation, with respect to the magnetic field, we derive the exact form of nonlinear solutions, and study their characteristics. A parametric analysis is carried out, as regards the effect of the dusty plasma composition (background number density), species temperature(s) and the relative strength of rotation to Larmor frequencies. It is shown that the Larmor and mechanical rotation affect the pulse dynamics via a parallel-to-transverse mode coupling diffusion term, which in fact diverges at ?c ? ±2O0. Pulses collapse at this limit, as nonlinearity fails to balance dispersion. The analysis is complemented by investigating critical plasma compositions, in fact near-symmetric (T- ˜ T+) “pure” (n- ˜ n+) pair plasmas, i.e. when the concentration of the 3rd background species is negligible, case in which the (quadratic) nonlinearity vanishes, so one needs to resort to higher order nonlinear theory. A modified ZK equation is derived and analyzed. Our results are of relevance in pair-ion (fullerene) experiments and also potentially in astrophysical environments, e.g. in pulsars.
