  • InP 기판위에 자발성장법으로 성장된 InAs 양자점은 $1.55{\mu}m$ 영역에서 발진하는 양자점 반도체 레이저 다이오드 및 광 증폭기를 제작할 수 있기 때문에 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 광통신 대역의 $1.55{\mu}m$ 반도체 레이저 다이오드 및 광 증폭기 분야에서 InAs/InP 양자점이 많은 관심을 받고 있으나, InAs/GaAs 양자점에 비해 제작이 어려운 단점을 가지고 있다. InAs/InP 양자점은 InAs/GaAs 양자점에 비해 격자 불일치가 작아 양자점의 크기가 크고 특히 As 계 박막과 P 계박막의 계면에서 V 족 원소 교환 반응으로 계면 특성 저하가 발생하여 성장이 까다롭다. As 과 P 간의 교환반응은 성장온도와 V/III 에 의해 크게 영향을 받는 것으로 보고되었다. 그러나, P계 InGaAsP 박막 위에 InAs 성장 시 발생하는 As/P 교환반응에 대한 연구는 매우 적다. 본 연구에서는 InGaAsP 박막 위에 InAs 양자점 성장 시 GI (growth interruption)에 의한 As/P 교환반응이 InAs 양자점의 형상 및 광학적 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 시료는 수직형 저압 Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MOCVD)를 이용하여 $520^{\circ}C$의 온도에서 성장하였다. 그림1(a) 구조의 양자점은 InP (100) 기판위에 InP buffer layer를 성장한 후 InP와 격자상수가 일치하는 $1.1{\mu}m$ 파장의 InGaAsP barrier를 50 nm 성장하였다. 그 후 As 분위기 하에서 다양한 GI 시간을 주었고 그 위에 InAs 양자점을 성장하였다. 양자점 성장 후 InGaAsP barrier를 50 nm, InP capping layer를 50 nm 성장하였다. AFM측정을 위해 InP capping layer 위에 동일한 GI 조건의 InAs/InGaAsP 양자점을 성장하였고 양자점 성장 후 As분위기 하에 온도를 내려주었다. 그림1(b) 구조의 양자점은 그림1(a) 와 모든 조건은 동일하나 InAs 양자점과 InGaAsP barrier 사이에 GaAs 2ML를 삽입한 구조이다. 양자점 형상 특성 평가는 Atomic force microscopy를 이용하였으며, 광특성 분석은 Photoluminescence를 이용하였다.

  • Optical gain characteristics of $1.3{\mu}m$ type-II GaAsSb/InGaNAs/GaAs trilayer quantum well structures were studied using multi-band effective mass theory. The results were compared with those of $1.3{\mu}m$ GaAsSb/InGaNAs/GaAs trilayer quantum well structures. In the case of $1.3{\mu}m$ GaAsSb/InGaNAs/GaAs trilayer quantum well structure, the energy difference between the first two subbands in the valence band is smaller than that of $1.3{\mu}m$ GaAsSb/InGaNAs/GaAs trilayer quantum well structure. Also, $1.3{\mu}m$ GaAsSb/InGaNAs/GaAs trilayer quantum well structure shows larger optical gain than $1.3{\mu}m$ GaAsSb/InGaNAs/GaAs trilayer quantum well structure. This means that GaAsSb/InGaNAs/GaAs system is promising as long-wavelength optoelectronic devices for optical communication.

  • 최근 우리는 InGaAs 위에 성장한 InAs 양자점에 GaAs를 얇게 덮음으로써 양자고리를 성장하고, 그 광학적 특성을 분석하였다. [1] 이번 연구에서는 이 양자고리 구조의 전자 구조 및 광학적 특성을 전산모사를 통해 계산하였고, GaAs가 구조의 응력, 압전 포텐셜 및 light-hole 분율에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 이론적인 분석을 위해, valence force field 방법을 이용하여 이종 물질간의 격자상수 차이에 의한 격자 변형 및 압전 포텐셜의 변화를 계산하였고, 양자고리 내 전자의 양자화 에너지 및 파동함수를 k p 방법을 통해 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 광학적인 특성 등의 다체 효과를 예측하기 위해 configuration interaction 방법을 사용하였다. 이 연구에서 우리는, GaAs가 InAs에 강한 압축 응력을 가할 것이라는 일반적인 예측과 달리, InGaAs 매트릭스 안에서는 격자상수가 작은 GaAs가 InAs 양자고리에 효과적인 압축 응력을 가할 수 없음을 보였다. 특히 GaAs 층의 두께가 얇을 경우, InGaAs 매트릭스에 의해 인장 응력을 받는 GaAs가 InAs의 응력을 해소하기 충분한 공간을 제공하여, 오히려 InAs의 압축 응력을 약화시키는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이 연구 결과는 응력 분포가 단순한 양자우물 등의 2차원 구조와 달리, 응력 분포가 복잡한 3차원 나노 구조에서는 단순히 격자상수만으로 파장 변화 경향을 예측할 수 없음을 나타낸다. 또한 우리는, GaAs의 큰 negative 이방 응력과 InAs의 작은 positive 이방 응력에 의해 전자와 heavy-hole은 InAs에, light-hole은 GaAs에 구속됨을 보였다. 즉, InAs보다 밴드갭이 큰 GaAs가 전자와 heavy-hole에 대해서는 강한 포텐셜 배리어로 작용하지만 light-hole에 대해서는 포텐셜 우물로 작용하는, 반 우물-반 배리어 특성을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 이로 인해 GaAs가 있는 양자고리의 light-hole 분율이 GaAs가 없을 경우에 비해 2배에서 8배가량 증가함을 보일 수 있었다. 비슷한 특성이 hole에 대해서는 InP나 InGaAsP 위에 성장한 GaAs 층에서 보고된 바가 있으나, 전자는 InAs로, hole은 GaAs로 분리할 수 있는 3차원 나노 구조에 대한 연구는 이 연구가 처음이다.

  • The InGaAs/InP quantum wells(QWs) were grown by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition and the effects of growth interruption steps on their interfacial structures were investigated by measuring photoluminescence spectra. When InP or InGaAs surface was treated under the same group V ambient, the full width at half maximum (FWHM) of the QW peak increased possibly due to the incorporation of impurities during the growth interruption time. When InP surface was treated under $AsH_3$, howerer, the PL peak showed red-shift due to the As-P exchange reaction and the change of FWHM was not remarkable. The effective thickness of InAs interfacial layer formed during $AsH_3$, treatment on the InP surface was calculated to be 1~2 monolayers. In the case of InGaAs treatment under $PH_3$, the PL peak energy and the FWHM increasied. This results suggest that $PH_3$ treatment on the InGaAs surface suppresses the incorporation of As into the subsequent InP layer and the local replacement of As by P occurs simultaneously.

  • As the size of semiconductor devices shrinks in the horizontal as well as vertical dimension it is difficult to estimate the transport-velocity of electron because they drift in non-equilibrium with a few scattering. In this paper HYbrid Monte Carlo simulator which employs the drift-diffusion model for hole-transport and Monte Carlo model for electron-transport in order to reduce the simulation time and increase the accuracy as well has been developed and applied to analyze the electron-transport in InAlAs/InGaAs HBT which is attractive for an ultra high speed active device in high speed optical fiber transmission systems in terms of the velocity and energy distribution as well as cutoff frequency.

  • Metaloganic chemical vapor deposition, also known as metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy has become one of the main techniques for growing thin, high purity films for compound semiconductors such as GaAs, InP, and InGaAsP. In this study, the distribution of growth rate and composition of InGaAsP, InGaP, and InGaAs films are studied using computational method. The influences of process parameters such as pressure, temperature and precursors' partial pressure on the growth rate and composition distributions are analyzed. The film growth rate is increased in the upstream part according to the increase of temperature but not in the downstream part. The Ga composition in InGaAsP film shows an asymptotic behavior for temperature variation but As composition varies significantly within the temperature range considered in the present study. The overall film growth rates of InGaP, InGaAs and InGaAsP are decreased with increasing the Ga/In ratios of the source gases. Pressure variation does not seem to be a significant parameter to the film growth. Film growth characteristics of tertiary films such as InGaP and InGaAs show similar trends to the quaternary film, InGaAsP.

  • One of the most important parameters that limit maximum output power of transistor is breakdown. InAlAs/InGaAs/GaAs Metamorphic HEMTs (MHEMTs) have some advantages, especially for cost, compared with InP-based ones. However, GaAs-based MHEMTs and InP-based HEMTs are limited by lower breakdown voltage for output power even though they have good microwave and millimeter-wave frequency performance with lower minimum noise figure. In this paper, InAlAs/$In_xGa_{1-x}As$/GaAs MHEMTs are simulated and analyzed for breakdown. The parameters affecting breakdown are investigated in the fabricated 0.1-${\mu}m$ ${\Gamma}$-gate MHEMT device having the modulation-doped $In_{0.52}Al_{0.48}As/In_{0.53}Ga_{0.47}As$ heterostructure on the GaAs wafer using the hydrodynamic transport model of a 2D commercial device simulator. The impact ionization and gate field effect in the fabricated device including deep-level traps are analyzed for breakdown. In addition, Indium mole-fraction-dependent impact ionization rates are proposed empirically for $In_{0.52}Al_{0.48}As/In_xGa_{1-x}As$/GaAs MHEMTs.

  • Shortening the lasing wavelength(particularly below infrared ; the visible region) of laser diodes is very attractive because it can provide a wide range of applications in the fields of optical information, measurement, sensor, the development of medical instrument, and optical communication through plastic fibers. According to the recent researches on the field, InGaAsP/GaAs was suggested as a material for red-light laser. In this study, in order to grow InGaAsP/GaAs epitaxial layer on InGaAsP/GaAs by LPE, we used GaP and InP two phase solution technique for 670nm and 780 nm region, respectively. Through the X-ray diffraction measurement for the epitaxial layer grown from the experiments, we found that the lattice mismatch of $In_{0.46}Ga_{0.54}As_{0.07}P_{0.93}$/GaAs and $In_{0.19}Ga_{0.81}As_{0.62}P_{0.38}$/GaAs was about +0.3% and +0.1%, respectively.
