Sio2-Passivated Lateral-Geometry Gan Transparent Schottky-Barrier Detectors, V. Adivarahan, Grigory Simin, J. W. Yang, A. Lunev, M. Asif Khan, M. Pala, M. Shur, R. Gaska Aug 2000

Sio2-Passivated Lateral-Geometry Gan Transparent Schottky-Barrier Detectors, V. Adivarahan, Grigory Simin, J. W. Yang, A. Lunev, M. Asif Khan, M. Pala, M. Shur, R. Gaska

Faculty Publications

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.

We report on structural, optical, and electrical properties of AlxInyGa1−x−yNGaNheterostructures grown on sapphire and 6H–SiC substrates. Our results demonstrate that incorporation of In reduces the lattice mismatch, Δa, between AlInGaN and GaN, and that an In to Al ratio of close to 1:5 results in nearly strain-free heterostructures. The observed reduction in band gap,ΔEg, determined from photoluminescence measurements, is more than 1.5 times higher than estimated from the linear dependencies of Δa and ΔEg on the In molar fraction. The incorporation of In and resulting changes in the built-in strain in …

Selective Area Deposited Blue Gan-Ingan Multiple-Quantum Well Light Emitting Diodes Over Silicon Substrates, J. W. Yang, A. Lunev, Grigory Simin, A. Chitnis, M. Shatalov, M. Asif Khan, Joseph E. Van Nostrand, R. Gaska Jan 2000

Selective Area Deposited Blue Gan-Ingan Multiple-Quantum Well Light Emitting Diodes Over Silicon Substrates, J. W. Yang, A. Lunev, Grigory Simin, A. Chitnis, M. Shatalov, M. Asif Khan, Joseph E. Van Nostrand, R. Gaska

Faculty Publications

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 …
