  • we investigated the effect of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) temperature on photoluminescence (PL) of 635 nm InGaP/InGaAlP multiple quantum well structure. RTA is performed with the quantum well structure with 5.5 nm of well width. The highest PL peak intensity is shown at 1 min. of RTA at $720^{\circ}C$ sample as 3 times higher as compared to the as-grown sample. The effect may be assigned to an expected reduction in number of nonradiative recombination centers in the quantum well.

  • Hot wall epitaxy 방법으로 우물층의 두께를 바꾸어가며 ZnSe/CdSe/ZnSe 단일 양자우물을 성장하였다. 양자우물층의 두께는 TEM을 이용하여 측정하였다. 광발광의 세기와 반치폭의 변화로부터 양자우물층의 임계두께는 약 $9{\AA}$임을 알 수 있었다. 우물층의 두께가 임계두께 보다 작을 때 광발광과 PLE 스펙트럼의 비교로부터 stoke's shift를 확인하였고, 이는 엑시톤 결합 에너지에 의한 것임을 알 수 있었다. 우물층의 두께에 대한 광발광 피크의 에너지 이동은 이론치와 잘 일치하였다.

  • In this work, we demonstrate the modelling and simulation of the AlGaAs/GaAs quantum-well based light emitting transistor(LET). Based on the experimental and theoretical model, we have compared between a heterojunction bipolar transistor(HBT) structure with quantum wells in the base region and a HBT without quantum wells in the base region. For the purpose of optimizing device design, several analytic and numerical studies have been presented.

  • We compare electroabsorption modulators (EAMs) with multiple quantum wells (MQWs) based on InGaAs(P)/InP and InGa(Al)As/InAlAs material systems. We carefully choose the quantum-well structures so that the structures based on different material systems have similar band-offset energies and excition-peak wavelengths. Assuming the same light wavelength of $1.55{\mu}m$, we show the transfer functions of EAMs with each quantum-well structure and calculate the escape times of photogenerated charge carriers. As the heavy-hole escape time of the quantum well based on InGaAs(P)/InP is much longer than those of photogenerated charge carriers of InGa(Al)As/InAlAs, the EAM based on the InGa(Al)As/InAlAs material seems to be more suitable for high-optical-power operation.

  • Using a combined CVD and ALD equipment system, multi-layer quantum well structures of $Al_2O_3/a-Si/Al_2O_3$ were fabricated on silicon Schottky junction devices and implemented to quantum well solar cells, in which the 1~1.5 nm thicknesses of the aluminum oxide films and the a-Si thin film layers were deposited at $300^{\circ}C$ and $450^{\circ}C$, respectively. Fabricated solar cell was operated by tunneling phenomena through the inserted quantum well structure being generated electrons on the silicon surface. Efficiency of the fabricated solar cell inserted with multi-quantum well of 41 layers has been increased by about 10 times that of the solar cell of pure Schottky junction solar cell.

  • the low temperature magnetoresistance effect, electron mobilities, and 2 Dimensional electron Gases (2DEG) properties were investigated in $Si/Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ quantum well devices. N-type $Si/Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ structures were fabricated by utilizing a gas source Molecular Beam Epitaxy (GSMBE). Thermal oxidation was carried out in a dry O atmosphere at $700^{\circ}C$ for 7 hours. Electron mobilities were measured by using a Hall effect and a magnetoresistant effect at low temperatures down to 0.4K. Pronounced Shubnikov-de Haas (SdH) oscillations were observed at a low temperature showing two dimensional electron gases (2DEG) in s tensile strained Si quantum well. The electron sheet density (ns) of $1.5\times10^{12}[\textrm{cm}^{-2}]$ and corresponding electron mobility of 14200 $[\textrm{cm}^2V^{-1}s^{-1}]$ were obtained at a low temperature of 0.4K from $Si/Si_{1-x}Ge_x$ structures with thermally grown oxides.

  • In resonant tunneling diodes with the quantum well structure showing the negative differential resistance (NDR), it is essential to increase both the peak-to-valley current ratio (PVCR) and the peak current desnity ( $J_{p}$) for the accurate digital switching operation and the high output of the device. In this work, a resonant interband tunneling diode (RITD) with single quantum well structure, which is composed of I $n_{0.47}$As/I $n_{0.52}$A $l_{0.48}$As heterojunction on the InP substrate, is fabricated ot improve PVCR and JP, and then the dependence of I-V charcteristics on the width of the quantum well was investigated.d.ted.d.

  • We used the surface photovoltage spectroscopy(SPVS) for characterization of GaAs/Al\ulcornerGa\ulcornerAs multi-quantum well(MQW) structures grown by molecular beam epitaxy(MBE) method. Energy gap related transitions in GaAs and AlGaAs were observed. The Al composition(x=0.3) was determined by Sek's composition formula. Transition energies in MQW were determined using the differential surface photo-volatage spectroscopy)DSPVS) of the measured resonanced. In order to indentify the transitions, the experimentally observed energies were compared with results of the envelope function approximation for a rectangular quantum well. We have observed and interesting behavior of the temperature dependence(80K~300K) of the 11Hand 11L transition for sample.

  • The influence of heavily Si impurity doping in the GaN barrier of InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well structures of blue light emitting diodes were investigated by growing samples in metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The delta-doped sample was compared to the sample with the undoped barrier. The delta-doped sample shows the tunneling behavior and forms the energy level of 0.32 eV for tunneling and the photoemission of the 450-nm band. The photo-luminescence shows the blue-shifted broad band of the radiative transition due to the inclusion of Si delta-doped layer indicating that the delta doping effect acts to form the higher energy level than that of quantum well. The dislocation may provide the carrier tunneling channel and plays as a source of acceptor. During the tunneling of hot carrier, there was no light emission.

  • In this paper, the oscillator strengths of both the heavy-hole and the light-hole excitons in GaAs-A\ulcornerGa\ulcornerAs and In\ulcornerGa\ulcornerAs-InP quantum wells with the effect of a magnetic field applied along the growth axis are studied. The calculation is carried out usig a variational approach, based on a simple trial exction wave function. The exciton oscillator strengths are found to decrease with increasing well width and to increase with the applied magnetic fields which lead to additional quantum confinement for moderately wide well sizes. Also, the oscillator strengths for the heavy-hole exciton are found to be large than those of the light-hole exciton in these quantum well structures.
