退火对非晶态碲镉汞薄膜稳定态光电导的影响

利用射频磁控溅射方法,在宝石衬底上制备了非晶态碲镉汞(a-HgCdTe)薄膜。对原生a-HgCdTe薄膜进行了不同退火时间和不同退火温度的热退火,在80～300K温度范围内,分别测量了原生和退火处理后的a-HgCdTe薄膜样品的稳定态光电导,研究了退火时间和退火温度对非晶态HgCdTe薄膜的稳定态光电导和激活能的影响。结果表明,原生和退火a-HgCdTe薄膜的稳定态光电导具有热激活特性;随着退火时间增加或退火温度升高,a-HgCdTe薄膜的晶化程度提高,导致光电导增大,光电导激活能降低。利用非晶-多晶转变机制讨论了实验结果。

Dark conductivity and photoconductivity of amorphous Hg0.78Cd0.22Te thin films

This paper reports the dark conductivity and photoconductivity of amorphous Hg0.78Cd0.22 Te thin films deposited on an Al2O3 substrate by RF magnetron sputtering.It is determined that dark conduction activation energy is 0.417 eV for the as-grown sample.Thermal quenching is absent for the as-grown sample during the testing temperature zone,but the reverse is true for the polycrystalline sample.Photosensitivity shows the maximum at 240 K for amorphous thin films,while it is higher for the as-grown sample than for polycrystalline thin films in the range from 170 to 300 K.The recombination mechanism is the monomolecular recombination process at room temperature,which is different from the low temperature range.Theμτ-product is low in the range of 10-11-10-9 cm2/V,which indicates that some defect states exist in the amorphous thin films.     

Persistent photoconductivity of amorphous Hg0.78Cd0.22Te: In films

The persistent photoconductivity (PPC) of amorphous Hg_0.78Cd_0.22Te: In films has been studied under illumination by super-bandgap light (a He-Ne laser, hν=1.96 eV, 30 mW/cm²) and sub-bandgap light (1000 K Blackbody source, the largest photon energies hν_p=0.42 eV, 8.9 mW/cm²) in the range of 80-300 K. The persistent photoconductivity effect increases with increase in illumination intensity and illumination time. However, it decreases with increase in working temperature. The non-exponential decay of photoconductivity implies the presence of continuous distribution of defect states in amorphous Hg_0.78Cd_0.22Te: In films. These results indicate that the decay of photoconductivity is not governed by the carrier trapped in the intrinsic defects, but it may be due to light-induced defects under light illumination.     

Steady state and transient photoconductivity in amorphous thin films of Se0.8Te0.2

The present paper reports on steady state and transient photoconductivity measurements in amorphous thin films of Se_0.8Te_0.2. The paper also reports the effect of crystallization on the photoconductive behaviour. The photosensitivity(I _ph /I _d ) reduces by a factor of 5 and the decay of photocurrent becomes much slower in the films annealed above the crystallization temperature (state B) as compared to the films annealed below the crystallization temperature (state A). A detailed analysis of the photoconductive decay in the state B shows that the recombination within localized states may be the predominant recombination mechanism in this state.     

Hg0.72Cd0.28Te扫描隧道谱的模型解释

本工作应用截面扫描隧道显微镜（XSTM）研究了分子束外延生长的Hg_0.72Cd_0.28Te薄膜。扫描隧道谱（STS）测量显示, 此碲镉汞材料的电流-电压（I/V）隧道谱呈现的零电流平台宽度（隧道谱表观带隙）比其实际材料带隙增大约130%,说明存在明显的针尖诱导能带弯曲（TIBB）效应。应用扫描隧道谱三维TIBB模型计算发现低成像偏压测量时获取的I/V隧道谱数据与理论计算结果有令人满意的一致性。然而较大成像偏压时所计算的I/V谱与实验谱线在较大正偏压区域存在一定偏离。这是由于目前的TIBB模型未考虑带带隧穿,缺陷辅助隧穿等碲镉汞本身的输运机制对隧道电流的影响造成的。     

BF3-doped amorphous silicon thin films

BF₃ has been used as a p-type dopant in thin films of hydrogenated amorphous silicon (a-Si:H). The films were deposited in a capacitively coupled radio frequency (13.56 MHz) glow discharge system in which silane (SiH₄) was the principal gaseous component. The boron content in the films was measured by secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) using a calibrated boron-implanted silicon standard. The optical and transport properties of these films were measured and compared with films of similar boron film content deposited using B₂H₆ BF₃-doped films showed less sub-band gap absorption (as determined by photothermal deflection spectroscopy), no band gap narrowing, and higher conductivity prefactors σ_o for low doping levels compared to B₂H₆-doped films. The possible utility of lightly BF₃-doped a-Si:H as the i-layer in a p/i/n photovoltaic device is suggested.     

Hg0.4Cd0.6Te 1.55-μm avalanche photodiodenoise analysis in the vicinity of resonant impact ionization connectedwith the spin-orbit split-off band

The authors describe the electrical and optical characterization of three Hg_1-xCd_xTe avalanche photodiodes manufactured using planar technology with composition parameter x near 0.6. This alloy composition leads to devices that are well suited for 1.55-μm detection. From the noise analysis under multiplication, the authors show the tight dependence of the ratio β/α (of the hole; and electron ionization coefficient, respectively) upon x and the ratio Δ/E_g where Δ is the spin-orbit splitting energy and E _g is the bandgap energy. It turns out that in these alloys around x=0.6, Δ is very close to the bandgap energy so β/α reaches its maximum value. Owing to this property, which is characteristic of II-VI compounds, Hg_1-xCd_xTe is a good candidate for 1.3-μm to 1.6-μm avalanche photodiodes     

Sensitive thermoelectric power and conductivity measurements on implanted polyparaphenylene thin films

A sensitive apparatus for determining the conductivity and thermoelectric power of conducting polymer films at temperatures between 150 and 450 K is described. Brittle polyparaphenylene films doped by ion implantation with either alkali (caesium, sodium) or halogen (iodine) ions are studied by this method. Analysis of the temperature dependence of both conductivity and thermopower shows that the doping process of this conjugated polymer is efficient only when low parameters of implantation are selected and appears around room temperature. At higher temperatures the thermopower exhibits an anomalous evolution that we attribute to oxygen migration. © 1997 John Wiley & Sons, Ltd.     

Effects of band nonparabolicity on the gain and current density inEuSe-PbSe0.78Te0.22-EuSe IV-VI semiconductorquantum-well lasers

In this work, a theoretical model that calculates the gain versus current density relationship for IV-VI semiconductor quantum-well lasers was developed. The model, based on Kane's two-band model, solves for the anisotropy in the constant energy surfaces and for the strong nonparabolicity of the bands. The system investigated was the EuSe-PbSe _0.78Te_0.22 quantum-well structure at 77 K. The nonparabolicity of the bands in the growth direction was found to shift the energy levels in the PbSe_0.78Te_0.22 quantum well to lower energies as compared to a quantum well with parabolic bands. Nonparabolicity of the bands also resulted in an energy dependent density of states in the junction plane of the structure. The effect of nonparabolicity in all directions on the gain versus current density relation is a reduction in the current density needed for any given gain and an increase in the gain saturation level. In addition to the 20% shift in the output lasing energy, nonparabolicity of the bands lowers the values of the confinement factor relative to those for the parabolic bands which in turn lowers the modal gain values
