We report on the spectral dynamics of the reflectivity, site-selectively excited photoluminescence,photoluminescence excitation, and time-resolved luminescence in quaternary AlInGaN epitaxial layers grown on GaN templates. The incorporation of a few percents of In into AlGaN causes significant smoothening of the band-bottom potential profile in AlInGaN layers owing to improved crystal quality. An abrupt optical bandgap indicates that a nearly lattice-matched AlInGaN/GaN heterostructure with large energy band offsets can be grown for high-efficiency light-emitting devices.

Enhanced Luminescence In Ingan Multiple Quantum Wells With Quaternary Alingan Barriers, Jianping Zhang, J. Yang, Grigory Simin, M. Shatalov, M. Asif Khan, M. S. Shur, R. Gaska

Grigory Simin

We report on the comparative photoluminescence studies of AlGaN/GaN, GaN/InGaN, and AlInGaN/InGaN multiple quantum well(MQW) structures. The study clearly shows the improvement in materials quality with the introduction of indium. Our results point out the localized state emission mechanism for GaN/InGaN structures and the quantum well emission mechanism for AlInGaN/InGaN structures. The introduction of indium is the dominant factor responsible for the observed differences in the photoluminescence spectra of these MQW structures.

We report on a transparent Schottky-barrierultraviolet detector on GaN layers over sapphire substrates. Using SiO2 surface passivation, reverse leakage currents were reduced to a value as low as 1 pA at 5 V reverse bias for 200 μm diameter device. The device exhibits a high internal gain, about 50, at low forward biases. The response time (about 15 ns) is RC limited, even in the internal gain regime. A record low level of the noise spectral density, 5×10−23 A2/Hz, was measured at 10 Hz. We attribute this low noise level to the reduced reverse leakage current.

Grigory Simin

We report on fabrication and characterization of blue GaN–InGaN multi-quantum well (MQW)light-emitting diodes(LEDs) over (111) silicon substrates. Device epilayers were fabricated using unique combination of molecular beam epitaxy and low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor depositiongrowth procedure in selective areas defined by openings in a SiO2mask over the substrates. This selective area deposition procedure in principle can produce multicolor devices using a very simple fabrication procedure. The LEDs had a peak emission wavelength of 465 nm with a full width at half maximum of 40 nm. We also present the spectral emission data with the diodes operating up to 250 …


Indium-Silicon Co-Doping Of High-Aluminum-Content Algan For Solar Blind Photodetectors, V. Adivarahan, Grigory Simin, G. Tamulaitis, R. Srinivasan, J. Yang, M. Asif Khan, M. S. Shur, R. Gaska Feb 2015

Grigory Simin

We report on an indium–silicon co-doping approach for high-Al-content AlGaN layers. Using this approach, very smooth crack-free n-type AlGaN films as thick as 0.5 μm with Al mole fraction up to 40% were grown over sapphire substrates. The maximum electron concentration in the layers, as determined by Hall measurements, was as high as 8×1017 cm−3 and the Hall mobility was up to 40 cm2/Vs. We used this doping technique to demonstrate solar-blind transparent Schottky barrierphotodetectors with the cut-off wavelength of 278 nm.


Very-Low-Specific-Resistance Pd/Ag/Au/Ti/Au Alloyed Ohmic Contact To P Gan For High-Current Devices, V. Adivarahan, A. Lunev, M. Asif Khan, J. Yang, Grigory Simin, M. S. Shur, R. Gaska Feb 2015

Very-Low-Specific-Resistance Pd/Ag/Au/Ti/Au Alloyed Ohmic Contact To P Gan For High-Current Devices, V. Adivarahan, A. Lunev, M. Asif Khan, J. Yang, Grigory Simin, M. S. Shur, R. Gaska

Grigory Simin

We report on Pd/Ag/Au/Ti/Au alloyed metallic contact to pGaN. An 800 °C anneal for 1 min in flowing nitrogen ambient produces an excellent ohmic contact with a specific contact resistivity close to 1×10−6 Ω cm2 and with good stability under high current operation conditions. This high-temperature anneal forms an alloy between Ag,Au, and pGaN resulting in a highly p-doped region at the interface. Using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and x-ray diffractionanalysis, we confirm that the contact formation mechanism is the metal intermixing and alloying with the semiconductor.

Grigory Simin

We present a study on the time evolution of the electroluminescence(EL)spectra of AlGaN-based deep ultraviolet light-emitting diodes(LEDs) under pulsed current pumping. The ELspectra peaks at 285 nm and 330 nm are found to result from recombination involving band-to-band and free carriers to deep acceptor level transitions. The 330 nm long-wavelength transitions to deep acceptor levels in the p-AlGaN layer as well as the nonradiative processes significantly influence the LED internal quantum efficiency.

Low-temperature photoluminescence investigations have been carried out in the quaternary AlInGaN epilayers and AlInGaN/AlInGaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) grown by pulsedmetalorganic chemical-vapor deposition (PMOCVD). With increasing excitation power density, the emission peaks in both AlInGaN epilayers and MQWs show a strong blueshift and theirlinewidths increase. The luminescence of the samples grown by PMOCVD is attributed to recombination of carriers/excitons localized at band-tail states. We also demonstrate theluminescence properties of AlInGaN and AlGaN materials grown by a pulsed atomic-layerepitaxy and conventional MOCVD, respectively.
