摘要:
The subject invention comprises the realization of P-on-N type II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes. A high-quality InAsSb layer lattice-mismatched to GaSb is used as a buffer to prepare the surface of the substrate prior to superlattice growth. The InAsSb layer also serves as an effective n-contact layer. The contact layer has been optimized to improve device performance, most notably performance that is similar to traditional N-on-P structures.

An Al-free VCSEL is grown by MOCVD procedure by growing GaInP/GaAs as a conventional distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) 36 or less periods are then formed as the active layer. The DBRs are composed of repeating layers of a 69 nm period of GaAs and a 76 nm period of InGaP to form a superlattice as quarter wave thickness stacks. After the lower layer of n-type DBR is deposited by MOCVD, a lift-off procedure opens up windows in an evaporated layer of SiO2. The active region and upper p-type DBR is then deposited by MOCVD.

InAsSb/InAsSbP/InAs Double Heterostructures (DH) and Separate Confinement Heterostructure Multiple Quantum Well (SCH-MQW) structures are taught wherein the ability to tune to a specific wavelength within 3 .mu.m to 5 .mu.m is possible by varying the ratio of As:Sb in the active layer. Further, the active layer of a DH structure can be doped with a p-type dopant, so that the dopant level of the active layer is at least one magnitude less than the dopant level of either confinement layer and the n-p junction is within the active layer and a higher power level and better efficiency is observed. A perfect lattice matching of the InAsSb contact layers and InAsSbP confinement layer of a DH structure is found to minimize the dislocation density at the InAsSb/InAsSbP interface. Decreasing the band-offset between the active layer and the confinement layers increases the brightness of the laser. A SCH laser of the subject invention can obtain a minimum discontinuity of conduction band between the confinement layers and the waveguide by adjusting the thickness of the waveguide and the number of quantum wells. The wavelength of the emitted light can be controlled, over the range of 3 .mu.m to 5 .mu.m by changing the material composition of the active layer, by changing the thickness of the quantum well, or by changing both parameters.

摘要:
A heterostructure or multilayer semiconductor structure having lattice matched layers with different bandgaps is grown by MOCVD. More specifically, a wide bandgap material such as AlInSb or GaInSb is grown on a substrate to form a lower-contact layer. An n-type active layer is lattice matched to the lower contact layer. The active layer should be of a narrow bandgap material, such as InAsSb, InTlSb, InBiSb, or InBiAsSb. A p-type upper contact layer is then grown on the active layer and a multi-color infrared photodetector has been fabricated.
