AbstractWe present the results on investigation and analysis of photoluminescence (PL) dynamics of quaternary AlInGaN epilayers and AlInGaN/AlInGaN multiple quantum wells (MQWs) grown by a novel pulsed metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (PMOCVD). The emission peaks in both AlInGaN epilayers and MQWs show a blueshift with increasing excitation power density. The PL emission of quaternary samples is attributed to recombination of carriers/excitons localized at band-tail states. The PL decay time increases with decreasing emission photon energy, which is a characteristic of localized carrier/exciton recombination due to alloy disorder. The obtained properties of AlInGaN materials grown by a PMOCVD are similar to those of InGaN. This indicates that the AlInGaN system is promising for ultraviolet applications such as the InGaN system for blue light emitting diode and laser diode applications.

Disorder Scattering

Si-based strained technology is currently an important topic of concern in the microelectronics field. The stress-induced enhancement of electron mobility contributes to the improved performance of Si-based strained devices. In this paper, Based on both the electron effective mass and the scattering rate models for strained-Si1-xGex/Si (101), an analytical electron mobility model for biaxial compressive strained-Si1-xGex /Si (101) is presented. The results show that the stress doesn’t make the electron mobility increased, but the electron mobility for [100] and [001] orientations decrease with increasing Ge fraction x, especially for [010] orientation expresses a sharp decrease. This physical phenomenon can be explained as: Although the applied stress (the higher the Ge fraction, the greater the applied stress) can enhance the electron mobility, alloy disorder scattering rate markedly increase. Overall the electron mobility decreases instead. The above result suggests that not all the mobilities for Si-based strained materials enhance with the stress applied. For the biaxial strained-SiGe material represented by Ge fraction, the effect of alloy disorder scattering on the enhancement of mobility must be concerned. The result can provide theoretical basis for the understanding of the improved physical characterizations and the enhanced mobility for Si-based strained materials.

AbstractThe recombination dynamics of excitons in GaN / Ga0.93Al0.07N multiple quantum wells is studied versus lattice temperature. The average decay time of photoluminescence measured at 8K is of ∼330 ps, with a substantial variation of times within the emission line. This is interpreted in terms of carrier localization due to alloy disorder and to well width and depth variations. The radiative lifetime τr of excitons in the wells is found to increase linearly with temperature, with ∂τr / ∂T = 20.5 ± 0.7 ps.K−1. The radiative lifetime of free excitons in the low-temperature limit is deduced to be 2.4 ps, consistent with a longitudinal-transverse splitting ћωLT in GaN of 0.6 meV, in excellent agreement with recent estimations. The ratio of the lifetimes of localized and free excitons is found coherent with the picture of electrons and holes independently localized on short-range defects, instead of excitons localized as a whole on long-range potential fluctuations.

We analyze the asymmetric delta-doping dependence of nonlinear electron mobility μ of GaAs|InxGa1-xAs double quantum-well pseudo-morphic modulation doped field-effect transistor structure. We solve the Schrodinger and Poisson's equations self-consistently to obtain the sub-band energy levels and wave functions. We consider scatterings due to the ionized impurities (IMP), alloy disorder (AL), and interface roughness (IR) to calculate μ for a system having double sub-band occupancy, in which the inter-sub-band effects play an important role. Considering the doping concentrations in the barriers towards the substrate and surface sides as Nd1 and Nd2, respectively, we show that variation of Nd1 leads to a dip in μ near Nd1=Nd2, at which the resonance of the sub-band states occurs. A similar dip in μ as a function of Nd1 is also obtained at Nd1=Nd2 by keeping (Nd1+Nd2) unchanged. By increasing the central barrier width and well width, the dip in μ becomes sharp. We note that even though the overall μ is governed by the IMP- and AL-scatterings, the dip in μ is mostly affected through substantial variation of the sub-band mobilities due to IR-scattering near the resonance. Our results of nonlinear electron mobility near the resonance of sub-band states can be utilized for the performance analysis of GaAs|InGaAs pseudo-morphic quantum-well field-effect transistors. Keywords: asymmetric double quantum wells, GaAs|InxGa1-xAs structures, nonlinear electron mobility, pseudo-morphic HEMT structures, resonance of sub-band states.
