Extended defects and precipitates in LT-GaAs, LT-InAlAs and LT-InP

Extended defects and precipitates in LT-GaAs, LT-InAlAs and LT-InP We review the main structural characteristics of low temperature molecular beam epitaxially produced GaAs (LT-GaAs), LT-InAlAs, and LT-InP. These materials exhibit almost identical behaviours with respect to growth and annealing conditions. For too low growth temperatures or too high As pressures, [...]

Electrical properties of n-GaAs epilayers, FET and HEMT structures grown on LT-GaAs by MBE

Electrical properties of n-GaAs epilayers, FET and HEMT structures grown on LT-GaAs by MBE We have investigated the dependence of the conductive layer width and Hall mobility in n-GaAs/LT-GaAs structures on the conditions of low temperature (LT) buffer growth and on annealing parameters. Both the conductive layer width, as determined [...]

Nuclear reactor pulse calibration using a CdZnTe electro-optic radiation detector

Nuclear reactor pulse calibration using a CdZnTe electro-optic radiation detector A CdZnTe electro-optic radiation detector was used to calibrate nuclear reactor pulses. The standard configuration of the Pockels cell has collimated light passing through an optically transparent CdZnTe crystal located between crossed polarizers. The transmitted light was focused onto an [...]

Effects of post-growth annealing on the performance of CdZnTe:In radiation detectors with different thickness

Effects of post-growth annealing on the performance of CdZnTe:In radiation detectors with different thickness An effective post-growth annealing method was used to improve the performance of CdZnTe:In (CZT:In) radiation detectors. The results indicated that Te inclusions in CZT:In crystals with different thickness were eliminated completely after annealing. Both the resistivity [...]

X-ray diffraction analysis of LT-GaAs multilayer structures

X-ray diffraction analysis of LT-GaAs multilayer structures Multilayer structures of low-temperature-grown GaAs(LT-GaAs) into which ultra-thin layers containing excess As are periodically introduced are grown by molecular beam epitaxy. The concentration of excess As in the ultra-thin layers is determined by the analysis of the intensity of a satellite reflection of [...]

Towards the cost effective epitaxy of hillocks free CdZnTe film on (001)GaAs by close-spaced sublimation

Towards the cost effective epitaxy of hillocks free CdZnTe film on (001)GaAs by close-spaced sublimation   Cost-effective epitaxy of hillocks free CdZnTe films on (001)GaAs was explored with close-spaced sublimation (CSS) technique. The orientation and film quality were studied with scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction θ–2θ and Φ scans and rocking, and cross-sectional transmission [...]

GaAs mHEMT epi wafer

InGaAs/InAlAs heterostructure is realized on GaAs substrate. This GaAs-based metamorphic high electron mobility transistor (mHEMT) heterostructure can reduce the stress at the interface between heterostructure and GaAs through the gradual change of In composition. Such a mHEMT structure can provide device performance that is superior to GaAs-based pHEMT and [...]
