Photoluminescence studies of GaAs/AlGaAs single quantum well intermixed by Ga+ ion implantation

Ga(+)ion implantation followed by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) was used to enhance the interdiffusion in GaAs/AlGaAs single Quantum Wells(SQWs). The extent of intermixing was found to be dependent on the well depth, number of implanted ions and annealing time. A very fast interdiffusion process occurs at the initial annealing stage. After that, the enhanced diffusion coefficient goes back to the umimplanted value. We propose a two-step model to explain the diffusion process as a function of the annealing time : a fast diffusion process and a saturated diffusion process. The interdiffusion coefficient of the fast diffusion was found to be of well depth dependence and estimated to be in the range of 5.4x10(-16) similar to 1.5x10(-15)cm(2)s(-1).

Formation of Fe-N films containing Fe6N2 phase by ion beam assisted deposition

Fe-N films were deposited on Si(100) and GaAs(100) substrates at room temperature by ion beam assisted deposition under various N/ Fe atomic arrival ratio, 0.09, 0.12, 0.15. The results of X-ray diffraction indicated that the film deposited at 0.12 of N/Fe arrival ratio contained a considerable fraction of the Fe16N2 phase which had grown predominantly in the [001] orientation. For the larger N/Fe arrival ratio, a martensite phase with 15 at.% nitrogen was obtained. It was found that a lower deposition temperature (<200 degrees C) was necessary for the formation of the Fe16N2 phase.

Diamond growth by carbon ion implantation of diamond

Medium energy (5-25 keV) C-13(+) ion implantation into diamond (100) to a fluence ranging from 10(16) cm(-2) to 10(18) cm(-2) was performed for the study of diamond growth via the approach of ion beam implantation. The samples were characterized with Rutherford backscattering/channelling spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray photoemission spectroscopy and Auger electron spectroscopy. Extended defects are formed in the cascade collision volume during bombardment at high temperatures. Carbon incorporation indeed induces a volume growth but the diamond (100) samples receiving a fluence of 4 x 10(17) to 2 x 10(18) at. cm(-2) (with a dose rate of 5 x 10(15) at. cm(-2) s(-1) at 5 to 25 keV and 800 degrees C) showed no He-ion channelling. Common to these samples is that the top surface layer of a few nanometers has a substantial amount of graphite which can be removed by chemical etching. The rest of the grown layer is polycrystalline diamond with a very high density of extended defects.

High quality CeO2 film grown on Si(111) substrate by using low energy dual ion beam deposition technology

By using the mass-analyzed low energy dual ion beam deposition technique, a high quality epitaxial, insulating cerium dioxide thin film with a thickness of about 2000 Angstrom, has been grown on a silicon (111) substrate. The component species, cerium and oxygen, are homogeneous in depth, and have the correct stoichiometry for CeO2. X-ray double-crystal diffraction shows that the full width at half maximum of the (222) and (111) peaks of the film are less than 23 and 32 s, respectively, confirming that the film is a perfect single crystal.

Sidegating effect on Schottky contact in ion-implanted GaAs

The sidegating effect on the Schottky barrier in ion-implanted GaAs was investigated with capacitance-voltage profiling at various negative substrate voltages. It was demonstrated that the negative substrate voltage modulates the Schottky depletion region width as well as the space charge region at the substrate-active channel interface.

An asymmetric MOSFET-C band-pass filter with on-chip charge pump auto-tuning

An asymmetric MOSFET-C band-pass filter(BPF)with on chip charge pump auto-tuning is presented.It is implemented in UMC (United Manufacturing Corporation)0.18μm CMOS process technology. The filter system with auto-tuning uses a master-slave technique for continuous tuning in which the charge pump OUtputs 2.663 V, much higher than the power supply voltage, to improve the linearity of the filter. The main filter with third order low-pass and second order high-pass properties is an asymmetric band-pass filter with bandwidth of 2.730-5.340 MHz. The in-band third order harmonic input intercept point(HP3) is 16.621 dBm,wim 50 Ω as the source impedance. The input referred noise iS about 47.455μVrms. The main filter dissipates 3.528 mW while the auto-tuning system dissipates 2.412 mW from a 1.8 V power supply. The filter with the auto-tuning system occupies 0.592 mm~2 and it can be utilized in GPS (global positioning system)and Bluetooth systems.

Luminescence spectroscopy of ion implanted AlN bulk single crystal

High concentrations of Si and Zn were implanted into (0001) AlN bulk crystal grown by the self-seeded physical vapor transport (PVT) method. Cathode luminescence (CL) and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy were used to investigate the defects and properties of the implanted AlN. PL spectra of the implanted AlN are dominated by a broad near-band luminescence peak between 200 and 254 nm. After high temperature annealing, implantation induced lattice damages are recovered and the PL intensity increases significantly, suggesting that the implanted impurity Si and Zn occupy lattice site of Al. CL results imply that a 457 nm peak is Al vacancy related. Resistance of the AlN samples is still very high after annealing, indicating a low electrical activation efficiency of the impurity in AlN single crystal.

A new fabricating method is demonstrated to realize two different Bragg gratings in an identical chip using traditional holographic exposure. Polyimide is used to protect one Bragg grating during the first period. The technical process of this method is as simple as that of standard holographic exposure

Passive Q-switching of diode-pumped Yb:YAG microchip laser with ion-implanted GaAs

We reported a passive Q-switched diode laser pumped Yb:YAG microchip laser with an ion-implanted semi-insulating GaAs wafer. The wafer was implanted with 400-keV As^(+) in the concentration of 10^(16) ions/cm^(2). To decrease the non-saturable loss, we annealed the ion-implanted GaAs at 500 oC for 5 minutes and coated both sides of the ion-implanted GaAs with antireflection (AR) and highreflection (HR) films, respectively. Using GaAs wafer as an absorber and an output coupler, we obtained 52-ns pulse duration of single pulse.

High-Power and High-Efficiency 650nm-Band AlGaInP Visible Laser Diodes Fabricated by Ion Beam Etching

High power and high-slope efficiency 650nm band real-refractive-index ridge waveguide AlGaInP laser diodes with compressive strained MQW active layer are formed by pure Ar ion beam etching process.Symmetric laser mesas with high perpendicularity,which are impossible to obtain by traditional wet etching method due to the use of a 15°-misoriented substrate,are obtained by this dry etching method.Laser diodes with 4μm wide,600μm long and 10%/90% coat are fabricated.The typical threshold current of these devices is 46mA at room temperature,and a stable fundamental-mode operation over 40mW is obtained.Very high slope efficiency of 1.4W/A at 10mW and 1.1W/A at 40mW are realized.
