An uncooled SiC-based electro-optic device is developed for gas sensing applications. P-type dopants Ga, Sc, P and Al are incorporated into an n-type crystalline 6H-SiC substrate by a laser doping technique for sensing CO2, CO, NO2 and NO gases, respectively. Each dopant creates an acceptor energy level within the bandgap of the substrate so that the energy gap between this acceptor level and the valence band matches the quantum of energy emitted by the gas of interest. The photons of the gas excite electrons from the valence band to the acceptor level, which alters the electron density in these two states. Consequently, the refractive index of the substrate changes, which, in turn, modifies the reflectivity of the substrate. This change in reflectivity represents the optical signal of the sensor, which is probed remotely with a laser such as a helium-neon laser. Although the midwave infrared (3-5 mm) band is studied in this paper, the approach is applicable to other spectral bands.

ABSTRACTWe investigated the reason of the (imbalanced) accumulation of electrons in AIGaSb/lnAs/AIGaSb QW system in spite of the p-type conduction of undoped AIGaSb. It was found that the concentration of the accumulated electrons negligibly depended on the number of the interfaces, but increased linearly with the effective AlSb thickness. These results indicate that donor levels in AIGaSb are the dominant electron sources. We propose a model that the deep acceptors with larger concentration and donors coexist, and the electron accumulation depends on the energy position of the acceptor in AIGaSb with respect to the quantum level in the InAs well. Acceptor levels obtained experimentally are about 100 meV higher than the bottom of the InAs conduction band, and we succeeded in eliminating the electron accumulation by making the quantum level of the InAs well higher than this acceptor level. The origins of the donors and acceptors are also discussed.

Calculate the electronic structure of alkali metal ion-doped Zn crystal, based on density functional theory (DFT) first-principles plane-wave ultra-soft pseudo-potential method. Analyze the band structure of alkali metal ion-doped ZnO crystal, and the electronic density of states. The results indicated that in theory, the doping of alkali metal ions are able to form a p-type ZnO semiconductor, and introduce in the deep acceptor levels. In the actual substitution process, the dopant ions may enter the interstitial site. Thus the alkali metal ions are tending to become donor interstitial impurities. In addition, since the ionic radius of K is larger than the ionic radiuses of Li and Na. And K+ formed the minimum acceptor level (0.078eV), which is a shallow acceptor level. K+ is better than Li+ and Na+ as a dopant. In short, they are not good p-type dopants.
