Zn-doped InGaAs Base Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors Grown by Low Pressure Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition

High performance InP/InGaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors(HBTs) have been widely used in high-speed electronic devices and optoelectronic integrated circuits. InP-based HBTs were fabricated by low pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition(MOCVD) and wet chemical etching. The sub-collector and collector were grown at 655 ℃ and other layers at 550 ℃. To suppress the Zn out-diffusion in HBT, base layer was grown with a 16-minute growth interruption. Fabricated HBTs with emitter size of 2.5×20 μm~2 showed current gain of 70~90, breakdown voltage(BV_(CE0))>2 V, cut-off frequency(f_T) of 60 GHz and the maximum relaxation frequency(f_(MAX)) of 70 GHz.

Homoepitaxial Growth and Characterization of 4H-SiC Epilayers by Low-Pressure Hot-Wall Chemical Vapor Deposition

Horizontal air-cooled low-pressure hot-wall CVD (LP-HWCVD) system is developed to get highly qualitical 4H-SiC epilayers.Homoepitaxial growth of 4H-SiC on off-oriented Si-face (0001) 4H-SiC substrates is performed at 1500℃ with a pressure of 1.3×103Pa by using the step-controlled epitaxy.The growth rate is controlled to be about 1.0μm/h.The surface morphologies and structural and optical properties of 4H-SiC epilayers are characterized with Nomarski optical microscope,atomic force microscopy (AFM),X-ray diffraction,Raman scattering,and low temperature photoluminescence (LTPL).N-type 4H-SiC epilayers are obtained by in-situ doping of NH3 with the flow rate ranging from 0.1 to 3sccm.SiC p-n junctions are obtained on these epitaxial layers and their electrical and optical characteristics are presented.The obtained p-n junction diodes can be operated at the temperature up to 400℃,which provides a potential for high-temperature applications.

Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition of GaNAs Alloy Using Dimethylhydrazine as Nitrogen Precursor

GaNAs alloy is grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using dimethylhydrazine (DMHy) as the nitrogen precursor. High-resolution X-ray diffraction (HRXRD) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS) are combined in determining the nitrogen contents in the samples. Room temperature photoluminescence (RTPL) measurement is also used in characterizing. The influence of different Ga precursors on GaNAs quality is investigated. Samples grown with triethylgallium (TEGa) have better qualities and less impurity contamination than those with trimethylgallium (TMGa). Nitrogen content of 5.688% is achieved with TEGa. The peak wavelength in RTPL measurement is measured to be 1278.5nm.

Polymorphous silicon nanowires synthesized by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition

Polymorphous Si nanowires (SiNWS) have been successfully synthesized on Si wafer by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) at 440degreesC,using silane as the Si source and Au as the catalyst. To grow the polymorphous SiNWS preannealing the Si substrate with Au film at 1100 degreesC is needed. The diameters of Si nanowires range from 15 to 100 urn. The structure morphology and chemical composition of the SiNWS have been characterized by high resolution x-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, as well as energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. A few interesting nanowires with Au nanoclusters uniformly distributed in the body of the wire were also produced by this technique.

Applications of dielectric thin film by electron cyclotron resonance plasma chemical vapor deposition for semiconductor photoelectronic devices

The paper reports a method of depositing SiO2, SiNx, a:Si, Si3N4 and SiOxNy dielectric thin films by electron cyclotron resonance plasma chemical vapor deposition (ECR CVD) on InP, InGaAs and other compound semiconductor optoelectronic devices,and give a technology of depositing dielectric thin films and optical coatings by ECR CVD on Laser's Bars. The experiment results show the dielectric thin films and optical coatings are stable at thermomechanical property,optical properties and the other properties. In addition, the dielectric thin film deposition that there is low leakage current is reported for using as diffusion and ion implatation masks in the paper. In the finally, the dielectric film refractive index can be accurately controlled by the N-2/O-2/Ar gas flow rate.

Influences of initial nitridation process on the optical and structural characterization of GaN layer grown on sapphire (0001) by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition

In this paper. we investigate the influences of the initial nitridation of sapphire substrates on the optical and structural characterizations in GaN films. Two GaN samples with and without 3 min nitridation process were investigated by photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy in the temperature range of 12-300 K and double-crystal X-ray diffraction (XRD). In the 12 K PL spectra of the GaN sample without nitridation, four dominant peaks at 3.476, 3.409 3.362 and 3.308 eV were observed, which were assigned to donor bound exciton, excitons bound to stacking faults and extended structural defects. In the sample with nitridation, three peaks at 3.453, 3.365. and 3.308 eV were observed at 12 K, no peak related to stacking faults. XRD results at different reflections showed that there are more stacking faults in the samples without nitridation.

The content calculation of hexagonal phase inclusions in cubic GaN films on GaAs(001) substrates grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition

Cubic GaN(c-GaN) films are grown on GaAs(001) substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Two GaN samples were grown with different buffer layer, the deposition time of each was 1 and 3 min, respectively. 4-circle X-ray double crystal diffraction (XRDCD) was used to study the secondary crystallographic phases presented in the c-GaN films. The phase composition of the epilayers was determined by X-ray reciprocal space mapping. The intensities of the c-GaN(002) and h-GaN(10 (1) over bar 1) planes detected in the mapping were investigated by omega scans. The content of the hexagonal phase inclusions in the c-GaN films was calculated to about 1.6 and 7.9%, respectively. The thicker buffer layer is not preferable for growing high quality pure c-GaN films. (C) 2000 Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.

Influences of initial buffer layer deposition on electrical and optical properties in cubic GaN grown on GaAs(100) by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition

We present some results on the effect of initial buffer layer on the crystalline quality of Cubic GaN epitaxial layers grown on GaAs(100) substrates by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Photoluminescence and Hall measurements were performed to characterize the electrical and optical properties of cubic GaN. The crystalline quality subsequently grown high-temperature (HT) cubic GaN layers strongly depended on thermal effects during the temperature ramping process after low temperature (LT) growth of the buffer layers. Atomic force microscope (AFM) and reflection high-energy electron diffraction (RHEED) were employed to investigate this temperature ramping process. Furthermore, the role of thermal treatment during the temperature ramping process was identified. Using the optimum buffer layer, the full width at half maxim (FWHM) at room temperature photoluminescence 5.6 nm was achieved. To our knowledge, this is the best FWHM value for cubic GaN to date. The background carrier concentration was as low as 3 x 10(13) cm(-3). (C) 2000 Published by Elsevier Science S.A. All rights reserved.
