荧光法测定半导体禁带宽度

光学带隙或禁带宽度是半导体材料的一个重要特征参数.本文以3个具有代表性的InGaN/GaN多量子阱结构作为研究对象,深入探讨了荧光法测定某个目标温度下InGaN阱层的光学带隙所需要满足的测试条件.由于InGaN阱层是一种多元合金且受到来自GaN垒层的应力作用,所以该阱层中不仅存在着杂质/缺陷相关的非辐射中心,也存在着组分起伏诱发的局域势起伏以及极化场诱发的量子限制斯塔克效应.因此,为了获得目标温度下InGaN阱层的较为精确的光学带隙,提出了荧光测量至少应满足的测试条件,即必须消除该目标温度下非辐射中心、局域中心以及量子限制斯塔克效应对辐射过程的影响.     

Intrinsic relationship between photoluminescence and electrical characteristics in modulation Fe-doped AlGaN/GaN HEMTs

The photoluminescence(PL) and electrical properties of Al GaN/GaN high electron mobility transistors(HEMTs) with different Fe doping concentrations in the GaN buffer layers were studied. It was found that, at low Fe doping concentrations,the introduction of Fe atoms can result in a downward shift of the Fermi level in the GaN buffer layer, since the Fe atoms substitute Ga and introduce an Fe_(Ga)~(3+/2+) acceptor level. This results in a decrease in the yellow luminescence(YL) emission intensity accompanied by the appearance of an infrared(IR) emission, and a decrease in the off-state buffer leakage current(BLC). However, a further increase in the Fe doping concentration will conversely result in the upward shift of the Fermi level due to the incorporation of O donors under the large flow rate of the Fe source. This results in an increased YL emission intensity accompanied by a decrease in the IR emission intensity, and an increase in the BLC. The intrinsic relationship between the PL and BLC characteristics is expected to provide a simple and effective method to understand the variation of the electrical characteristic in the modulation Fe-doped HEMTs by optical measurements.
