Intersubband transitions in Si-doped molecular beam epitaxygrown GaN/AlGaN multiple quantum wells on c-plane sapphire were investigated using the Fourier-transform infrared optical absorption technique. Several GaN quantum well samples were grown with either AlGaN bulk or GaN/AlGaN short period superlattice barriers. The measurements were made in a waveguide configuration utilizing a facet polished at 45° to the c plane. The integrated area of the intersubband transitions in several waveguides cut from different location of the wafer was measured, from which we estimated the two-dimensional electron gas density (σ). The measured values of σ are about two orders of magnitude larger …


Contactless Electroreflectance, In The Range Of 20 K < T < 300 K, Of Freestanding Wurtzite Gan Prepared By Hydride-Vapor-Phase Epitaxy, Y. S. Huang, Fred H. Pollak, S. S. Park, K. Y. Lee, H. Morkoç Jan 2003

Contactless Electroreflectance, In The Range Of 20 K < T < 300 K, Of Freestanding Wurtzite Gan Prepared By Hydride-Vapor-Phase Epitaxy, Y. S. Huang, Fred H. Pollak, S. S. Park, K. Y. Lee, H. Morkoç

We have performed a detailed contactless electroreflectance study of the interband excitonic transitions on both the Ga and N faces of a 200-μm-thick freestanding hydride-vapor-phase-epitaxy grown wurtzite GaN sample with low defect concentration in the temperature range between 20 and 300 K. The transition energies of the A, B, and C excitons and broadening parameters of the A and B excitons have been determined by least-square fits to the first derivative of a Lorentzian line shape. The energy positions and separations of the excitonic transitions in the sample reveal the existence of residual strain. At 20 K the broadening parameter …
