Optical analysis of dislocation-related physical processes in GaN-based epilayers

In this paper, recent progresses in optical analysis of dislocation-related physical properties in GaN-based epilayers are surveyed with a brief review. The influence of dislocations on both near-band edge emission and yellow luminescence (YL) is examined either in a statistical way as a function of dislocation density or focused on individual dislocation lines with a high spatial resolution. Threading dislocations may introduce non-radiative recombination centers and enhance YL, but their effects are affected by the structural and chemical environment. The minority carrier diffusion length may be dependent on either dislocation density or impurity doping as confirmed by the result of photovoltaic spectra. The in situ optical monitoring of the strain evolution process is employed during GaN heteroepitaxy using an AIN interlayer. A typical transition of strain from compression to tension is observed and its correlation with the reduction and inclination of threading dislocation lines is revealed.

1.3 mu m gain coupled DFB laser with InGaAlAs MQW grown on absorptive InGaAsP corrugation

An InGaA1As multiquantum well (MQW) has been successfully overgrown on the absorptive InGaAsP corrugation for fabricating the 1.3 mu m gain coupled distributed feedback (DFB) lasers. The absorptive InGaAsP corrugation was efficaciously preserved during the overgrowth of the InGaA1As MQW active region. The absorptive InGaAsP corrugation has a relatively high intensity around the PL peak wavelength in comparison with that of the InGaA1As MQW. The fabricated DFB laser exhibited a side mode suppression ratio of 40 dB together with a high single-mode yield of 90%.

Effect of heavy boron doping on the electrical characteristics of SiGeHBTs

A modified version of the Jain-Roulston (J-R) model is developed that takes into account the compensation effect of B to Ge in strained SiGe layers for the first time. Based on this new model, the distribution of the bandgap narrowing (BGN) between the conduction and valence bands is calculated. The influence of this distribution on the transport characteristics of abrupt SiGe heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) has been further considered by using the tunnelling and thermionic emission mechanisms instead of the drift and diffusion mechanisms at the interfaces where discontinuities in energy levels appear. The results show that our modified J-R model better fits the experimental values, and the energy band structure has a strong influence on electrical characteristics.
