ABSTRACTWe have epitaxially grown Si/β-FeSi2/Si (SFS) structures with β-FeSi2 particles or β-FeSi2 continuous films on Si substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), and observed 1.6 μm electroluminescence (EL) at room temperature (RT). The EL intensity increases with increasing the number of β-FeSi2 layers. The origin of the luminescence was discussed using time-resolved photoluminescence (PL) measurements. It was found that the luminescence originated from two sources, one with a short decay time (τ∼10 ns) and the other with a long decay time (τ∼100 ns). The short decay time was due to carrier recombination in β-FeSi2, whereas the long decay time was due probably to a defect-related D1 line in Si.

AbstractThe radiative recombination of two-dimensional (2D) carriers in an n-channel GaAs/AIGaAs heterojunction has been studied with time resolved photoluminescence (PL). Two bands related to the recombination of 2D carriers, the so called H-band 1 (HB1) and H-band 2 (HB2), are observed in PL. The spectral shape and position is strongly dependent on the sample and the experimental conditions. The H-bands are e.g. found to shift within a large energy range with the excitation intensity. We report here on the dependence of the decay times of the H-bands on their spectral position. The results are consistent with a recombination process involving 2D electrons, confined in the interface notch, and three-dimensional (3D) holes either from the valence band (HB1) or from neutral acceptors (HB2) in the active GaAs layer. The decay times of HB1 are found to vary in the range of 2-100 ns, while the corresponding decay times of HB2 are in the range of 100 ns - 10 µs.

AbstractThe effects of proton irradiation on carrier dynamics were measured by time-resolved photoluminescence on InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot structures with different dot density and substrate orientation, as well as on InAlAs/AlGaAs quantum dots. Results were compared to irradiation effects on carrier dynamics in thin InGaAs quantum wells. We find that carrier lifetimes in QDs are much less affected by proton irradiation than in quantum wells, which can be attributed to the three-dimensional carrier confinement in quantum dots.

Defect-free silicon layers grown on insulators (SOI) are an essential component for future three-dimensional integration of semiconductor devices. Liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) has proved to be a powerful technique to grow high quality SOI structures for devices and for basic physical research. Electron microscopy is indispensable for the development of the growth technique and reveals many interesting structural properties of these materials. Transmission and scanning electron microscopy can be applied to study growth mechanisms, structural defects, and the morphology of Si and SOI layers grown from metallic solutions of various compositions.The treatment of the Si substrates prior to the epitaxial growth described here is wet chemical etching and plasma etching with NF3 ions. At a sample temperature of 20°C the ion etched surface appeared rough (Fig. 1). Plasma etching at a sample temperature of −125°C, however, yields smooth and clean Si surfaces, and, in addition, high anisotropy (small side etching) and selectivity (low etch rate of SiO2) as shown in Fig. 2.

Time-resolved photoluminescence spectra have been recorded on three GaN epitaxial layers of thickness 2.5 μm, 7 μm and 16 μm, at various temperatures ranging from 8K to 300K. The layers were deposited by MOVPE on (0001) sapphire substrates with standard AlN buffer layers. To achieve good homogeneities, the growth was in-situ monitored by laser reflectometry. All GaN layers showed sharp excitonic peaks in cw PL and three excitonic contributions were seen by reflectivity. The recombination dynamics of excitons depends strongly upon the layer thickness. For the thinnest layer, exponential decays with τ ~ 35 ps have been measured for both XA and XB free excitons. For the thickest layer, the decay becomes biexponential with τ1 ~ 80 ps and τ2 ~ 250 ps. These values are preserved up to room temperature. By solving coupled rate equations in a four-level model, this evolution is interpreted in terms of the reduction of density of both shallow impurities and deep traps, versus layer thickness, roughly following a L−1 law.
