Anomalously large real space charge transfer through thick barries in GaAs asymmetric double quantum wells is studied by photoluminesence exitation. This inter-well excitonic transfer is very large when the barrier is the Al0.3Ga0.7As alloy, but disappears when the barrier is GaAs/AlAs digital alloy with an equivalent Al concentration of 0.28. These resilts combined with observed x and barrier thickness depence suggest that the spatial fluctuation of the atomic arrangment of Ga and Al in the alloy may be responsible for this transfer. This picture is supported by the quantum mechanical calculation in three dimensions which takes into account the side fluctuation effects.

This paper calculates the band structure of the GaAs/(Al,Ga) As semiconductor superlttice with the interface3 grading, in consideration of different effective masses in each region. Including the effective masses, superlattice period, well and barrier widths, and the interface, the dispersion relation is derived, and the effects that the above parameters affect the subband (or miniband) structure of the superlattice and effective energy gap are investigated. It is particularly found that this case(ma<>mb<>mc) is significantly different from the same effective mass case(ma<>mb<>mc).

GaAs and AlGaAs epi-layers were grown on semi-insulating (100) GaAs substrate by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) and their electrical and optical properties have been investigated by several measurements. In undoped GaAs, the p-type GaAs layers with the good surface morphology were obtained under the growth conditions of the substrate temperatures ranging from 570 to $585^{\circ}C$ and the $As_4$/Ga ratios from 17 to 22. In the samples with the growth rates of the ranges of $0.9~1.1 {\mu}m/h$, the impurity concentrations were in the ranges of $1.5{\times}10^{14}~5.6{\times}10^{14}cm^{-3}$ with the Hall mobilities of $590~410cm^2/V-s$. In the Si-doped GaAs, the n-type GaAs layers with low electro trap, only two hole deep levels were observed with uniform doping profiles (<1%). AlGaAs layers with good surface morphology and crystallinity were grown under an optimum condition of the substrate temperature, $600^{\circ}C $. 8 deep level defects were observed between 0.17~0.85eV in undoped AlGaAs layers.

This study was performed, using c-fos and Substance P, to investigate the effect of GaAlAs laser on acute pain model induced by wound in lumbar region's spinal level. The test group was divided into control and experimental group. Control group is shamed group(c-fos and substance P expression after non-irradiation by a GaAlAs laser), The experimental group was divided into two subgroups: one is experimental group I (c-fos expression after irradiation by a GaAlAs laser), and the other is experimental group II (substance P expression after irradiation by a GaAlAs laser). The results of this study were as following: 1. The numbers of c-fos immunoreactive neuron in spinal cord was increased markedly 1 day after wound, and decreased gradually from 1 day to 2 days in wound with GaAlAs laser irradiation. 2. The changes of the average percentages of substance P immunoreactive neurons in spinal cord was increased markedly 1 day after wound, and decreased gradually from 1 day to 2 days in wound with GaAlAs laser irradiation. Therefore, decreasing the changes of c-fos and substance P expression after irradiation by a GaAlAs laser indicates and GaAlAs laser have effect on pain control.

The effect of $NH_3$ plasma passivation on the chemical and electrical characteristics of ALD HfAlO dielectric on the InGaAs substrate was investigated. The results show that $NH_3$ plasma passivation exhibit better electrical & chemical performance such as much lower leakage current, lower density of interface trap(Dit) level, and low unstable interfacial oxide. $NH_3$ plasma passivation can effectively enhance interfacial characteristics. Therefore $NH_3$ plasma passivation improved the HfAlO dielectric performance on the InGaAs substrate.

Interface recombination velocity in $Al_{x}$G $a_{1-x}$ As-GaAs and $Al_{0.85}$, G $a_{0.15}$ As-GaA $s_{1-y}$S $b_{y}$ heterojunction systems is studied as a function of lattice mismatch. The results are applied to the design of highly efficient III-V heterojunction solar cells. A horizontal liquid-phase epitaxial growth system was used to prepare p-p-p and p-p-n $Al_{x}$G $a_{1-x}$ As-GaA $s_{1-y}$S $b_{y}$-A $l_{x}$G $a_{1-x}$ As double heterojunction test samples with specified values of x and y. Samples were grown at each composition, with different GaAs and GaAs Sb layer thicknesses. A method was developed to obtain the lattice mismatch and lattice constants in mixed single crystals grown on (100) and (111)B oriented GaAs substrates. In the AlGaAs system, elastic lattice deformation with effective Poisson ratios .mu.$_{eff}$ (100=0.312 and .mu.$_{eff}$ (111B) =0.190 was observed. The lattice constant $a_{0}$ (A $l_{x}$G $a_{1-x}$ As)=5.6532+0.0084x.angs. was obtained at 300K which is in good Agreement with Vegard's law. In the GaAsSb system, although elastic lattice deformation was observed in (111) B-oriented crystals, misfit dislocations reduced the Poisson ratio to zero in (100)-oriented samples. When $a_{0}$ (GaSb)=6.0959 .angs. was assumed at 300K, both (100) and (111)B oriented GaAsSb layers deviated only slightly from Vegard's law. Both (100) and (111)B zero-mismatch $Al_{0.85}$ G $a_{0.15}$As-GaA $s_{1-y}$S $b_{y}$ layers were grown from melts with a weight ratio of $W_{sb}$ / $W_{Ga}$ =0.13 and a growth temperature of 840 to 820 .deg.C. The corresponding Sb compositions were y=0.015 and 0.024 on (100) and (111)B orientations, respectively. This occurs because of a fortuitous in the Sb distribution coefficient with orientation. Interface recombination velocity was estimated from the dependence of the effective minority carrier lifetime on double-heterojunction spacing, using either optical phase-shift or electroluminescence timedecay techniques. The recombination velocity at a (100) interface was reduced from (2 to 3)*10$^{4}$ for y=0 to (6 to 7)*10$^{3}$ cm/sec for lattice-matched $Al_{0.85}$G $a_{0.15}$As-GaA $s_{0.985}$S $b_{0.015}$ Although this reduction is slightly less than that expected from the exponential relationship between interface recombination velocity and lattice mismatch as found in the AlGaAs-GaAs system, solar cells constructed from such a combination of materials should have an excellent spectral response to photons with energies over the full range from 1.4 to 2.6 eV. Similar measurements on a (111) B oriented lattice-matched heterojunction produced some-what larger interface recombination velocities.ities.ities.s.

In order to increase extraction efficiency of AlGaInP-based vertical RED LEDs, chemical wet etching technique was produced by using a roughened surface with triangle-like morphology. A commonly used $H_3PO_4$-based solution was applied for chemical wet etching. The light extraction of AlGaInP LED was related to the n-side roughed surface morphology. The morphology of roughed surface is analyzed by the atomic force microscope (AFM). As a result, the roughed surface AlGaInP LED has a root-mean-square (RMS) roughness of 44 nm. The brightness shows 41% increase after roughening n-side surface, as compared to the ordinary flat surface LED.

An optical phase modulator is fabricated in GaAs/AlGaAs doble heterostructure wafer grown by MOCVD. A self-aligned process, in which the same photoresist pattern is used for both the waveguide etching and the insulation layer formation, is developed and is found to be very useful, Fabry-Perot interference technique is applied to the measurement and the phase modulation efficiency is measured to be 22.5$^{\circ}$/Vmm at 1.31 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ for TE polarization.

The sheet resistance (Rs) of undoped GaN films on AlN/c-plane sapphire substrate was investigated in which the AlN films were grown by R. F. magetron sputtering method. The Rs was strongly dependent on the AlN layer thickness and semi-insulating behavior was observed. To clarify the effect of crystalline property on Rs, the crystal structure of the GaN films has been studied using x-ray scattering and transmission electron microscopy. A compressive strain was introduced by the presence of AlN nucleation layer (NL) and was gradually relaxed as increasing AlN NL thickness. This relaxation produced more threading dislocations (TD) of edge-type. Moreover, the surface morphology of the GaN film was changed at thicker AlN layer condition, which was originated by the crossover from planar to island grains of AlN. Thus, rough surface might produce more dislocations. The edge and mixed dislocations propagating from the interface between the GaN film and the AlN buffer layer affected the electric resistance of GaN film.
