The present status and key issues of surface passivation technology for III-V surfaces are discussed in view of applications to emerging novel III-V nanoelectronics. First, necessities of passivation and currently available surface passivation technologies for GaAs, InGaAs and AlGaAs are reviewed. Then, the principle of the Si interface control layer (ICL)-based passivation scheme by the authors’ group is introduced and its basic characterization is presented. Ths Si ICL is a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)-grown ultrathin Si layer inserted between III-V semiconductor and passivation dielectric. Finally, applications of the Si ICL method to passivation of GaAs nanowires and GaAs nanowire transistors and to realization of pinning-free high-k dielectric/GaAs MOS gate stacks are presented.  相似文献

Amorphous CaAs films are deposited on substrates of quartz glass and sificon by rf magnetron sputtering technique in different gas ambient. First, the amorphous structure of the prepared samples is identified by x-ray diffraction. Second, analysis by radial distribution function and pair correlation function method is established to characterize the microstructure of the samples. Then, the content and bond type of hydrogen are analysed using Fourier transform infrared absorption spectroscopy. It is found that the bonded hydrogen content increases with increasing partial pressure PH of H2. However, the hydrogen content saturates at PH 〉 1 × 10^-1 Pa. Hydrogen addition shills the optical absorption edge to higher energy, decreases the dark conductivity and improves the photo-sensitivity. The optical gap, dark conductivity and photo-sensitivity of the films are dependent on the bonded hydrogen content. These results demonstrate that hydrogen has obvious passivation effects on rf sputtered amorphous GaAs thin films.  相似文献

In this paper, we have investigated the Einstein relation for the diffusivity-to-mobility ratio (DMR) under magnetic quantization in non-linear optical materials on the basis of a newly formulated electron dispersion law by considering the crystal field constant, the anisotropies of the momentum-matrix element and the spin-orbit splitting constant, respectively, within the frame work of k·p formalism. The corresponding result for the three-band model of Kane (the conduction electrons of III-V, ternary and quaternary compounds obey this model) forms a special case of our generalized analysis. The DMR under magnetic quantization has also been investigated for II-VI (on the basis of Hopfield model), bismuth (using the models of McClure and Choi, Cohen, Lax and parabolic ellipsoidal, respectively), and stressed materials (on the basis of model of Seiler et al.) by formulating the respective electron statistics under magnetic quantization incorporating the respective energy band constants. It has been found, taking n-CdGeAs2, n-Hg1−xCdxTe, p-CdS, and stressed n-InSb as examples of the aforementioned compounds, that the DMR exhibits oscillatory dependence with the inverse quantizing magnetic field due to Subhnikov de Haas (SdH) effect with different numerical values. The DMR also increases with increasing carrier degeneracy and the nature of oscillations are totally dependent on their respective band structures in various cases. The classical expression of the DMR has been obtained as a special case from the results of all the materials as considered here under certain limiting conditions, and this compatibility is the indirect test of our generalized formalism. In addition, we have suggested an experimental method of determining the DMR for degenerate materials under magnetic quantization having arbitrary dispersion laws. The three applications of our results in the presence of magneto-transport have further been suggested.  相似文献

In this work, we aimed to examine the spin-polarized electronic band structures, the local densities of states as well as the magnetism of ZnMnTe- and CdMnTe-diluted magnetic semiconductors (DMSs) in the ferromagnetic phase, and with 25% of Mn. The calculations are performed by the recent ab initio full potential augmented plane waves plus local orbitals (FP−L/APW+lo) method within the spin-polarized density-functional theory and the local spin density approximation. We have determined the exchange splittings produced by the Mn d states: Δx(d) and Δx(pd), and we found that the effective potential for the minority spin is more attractive than that for the majority spin. Also, we show the nature of the bonding from the charge spin-densities calculations, and we calculate the exchange constants N0α and N0β, which mimics a typical magneto-optical experiment. The calculated total magnetic moment is found to be equal to 5μB for both DMSs. This value indicates that every Mn impurity adds no hole carriers to the perfect ZnTe and CdTe crystals. Furthermore, we found that p–d hybridization reduces the local magnetic moment of Mn and produces small local magnetic moments on the nonmagnetic Te, Zn and Cd sites.  相似文献

The electronic band structures of GaAs1−xNx for x=0.009, 0.016, 0.031 and 0.062 are calculated ab initio using a supercell approach in connection with the full-potential linear muffin-tin orbital method. Corrections for the ‘LDA gap errors’ are made by adding external potentials which are adjusted to yield correct gaps in pure GaAs. Even small amounts of nitrogen modify significantly the conduction bands, which become strongly non-parabolic. The effective mass in the lowest conduction band thus exhibits strong k-vector dependence. Calculated variations of gaps and effective masses with x and externally applied pressure are presented and compared to a variety of experimental data. There are significant error bars on our results due to the use of the supercell approach. These are estimated by examining the effects of varying the geometrical arrangement of the N-atoms substituting As. However, the calculations show that the electron mass for x>0.009 is much larger than that of pure GaAs, and that it decreases with x.  相似文献

We present the phase transition of high Curie temperature InMnP system grown by liquid phase epitaxy. InMnP system has a distribution of uniform islands on the surface layer which has a width of 40 nm and height of 30 nm. Two kinds of phase transition in the magnetization were observed. The origin of these structures and their influence for the magnetization are discussed from the view of two-dimensional Ising model.  相似文献

In "Electrical Conductivity and Current-Voltage Characteristics of Individual Conducting Polymer PEDOT Nanowires", Long et al. reported the currentvoltage (Ⅰ - Ⅴ) characteristics of individual poly(3,4- ethylenedioxythiophene) (PEDOT) nanowires in the temperature range from 20 to 50K (Fig. 2(a)). The authors stated that at temperatures equal to 50 K and higher, the Ⅰ - Ⅴ curves were linear. With decreasing temperature the Ⅰ - Ⅴ curves gradually became nonlinear. The temperature behavior of Ⅰ - Ⅴ characteristics is not suitably explained.  相似文献

Numerical calculations based on first-principles are applied to study the electronic and structural properties of ternary zincblende AlInN alloy. The results indicate the lattice constant has a small deviation from the Vegard’s law. The direct and indirect bowing parameters of 4.731 ± 0.794 eV and 0.462 ± 0.285 eV are obtained, respectively, and there is a direct-indirect crossover near the aluminum composition of 0.817. The bulk modulus is monotonically increased with an increase of the aluminum composition, and the deviation parameter of bulk modulus of 10.34 ± 9.37 GPa is obtained. On the contrary, the pressure derivative of bulk modulus is monotonically decreased with an increase of the aluminum composition.  相似文献

First principle calculations of elastic properties under pressure of the filled tetrahedral semiconductors LiZnN, LiZnP and LiZnAs are presented, using the pseudo-potential plane-waves approach based on density functional theory, within the local density approximation. Elastic constants, bulk modulus, Young’s modulus and Poisson’s ratio are calculated at zero pressure. A linear dependence of the bulk modulus and elastic constants with applied pressure is found. As the experimental elastic constants are not available for LiZnX, we have also calculated the elastic constants of GaN, GaP and GaAs, the binary analogues of LiZnN, LiZnP and LiZnAs, respectively, for checking the reliability and accuracy of our predicted results for LiZnX. The obtained results agree well with the available experimental data.  相似文献

Sensors, which are designed and fabricated in complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) technology, have become increasingly important in the field of bioelectronics. The standardized industry processes enable a fast, cheap, and reliable fabrication of biosensor devices with integrated addressing and processing units. However, the interfacing of such chips with a liquid environment has been a challenge in recent years. Especially for interfacing living cells with CMOS biosensors different elaborate post‐processes have been proposed. In this article we describe a novel and single step passivation of a CMOS biosensor using a bio‐compatible high‐permittivity thin film, which can be directly applied to the top aluminium layer of a CMOS process. The aluminium oxide and hafnium oxide multi‐layer thin films were prepared using atomic layer deposition at low process temperatures. Electrical IV and capacitance measurements as well as electrochemical leakage current measurements were performed on films grown on aluminium bottom electrodes. The films showed a very low leakage current and were stable up to 6 V at a thickness of just 50 nm. (© 2008 WILEY‐VCH Verlag GmbH & Co. KGaA, Weinheim)  相似文献

A comparative analysis of the properties of the non-passivated and S-passivated GaSb(1 0 0) surfaces has been performed through PL, AFM and RHEED characterization. The samples treated with a 1 M Na2S aqueous solution demonstrate an increase in the 5 K PL intensity. According to AFM data, the annealing of the S-passivated GaSb(1 0 0) leads to the formation of the clean flat (1 0 0) surface. Moreover, after annealing the PL intensity of the S-passivated GaSb(1 0 0) surfaces decreases by 20%, whereas for the non-passivated samples it drops by more than a factor of 4. The method of wet sulfur passivation has shown great effectiveness in pre-epitaxial processing for LPE and MBE growth of the GaSb-related materials for optoelectronics.  相似文献

The full‐potential linearized augmented plane wave method with the generalized gradient approximation for the exchange and correlation potential (LAPW‐GGA) is used to understand the electronic and elastic properties of the first thorium‐containing nitride perovskite TaThN3. Total and partial density of states, charge distributions as well as the elastic constants, bulk modulus, compressibility, shear modulus, Young modulus and Poisson ratio are obtained for the first time and analyzed in comparison with cubic ThN. The chemical bonding in TaThN3 is a combination of ionic Th–N and of mixed covalent–ionic Ta–N bonds. The cubic TaThN3 is semiconducting with the direct gap at about 0.65 eV.

The crystal structural, magnetic and electrical transport properties of double perovskite CeKFeMoO6 have been investigated. The crystal structure of the compound is assigned to the monoclinic system with space group P21/n and its lattice parameters are a=0.55345(3) nm, b=0.56068(2) nm, c=0.78390(1) nm, β=89.874(2). The divergence between zero-field-cooling and field-cooling M-T curves demonstrates the anisotropic behavior. The Curie temperature measured from Cp-T curve is about 340 K. Isothermal magnetization curve shows that the saturation and spontaneous magnetization are 1.90 and 1.43 μB/f.u. at 300 K, respectively. The electrical behavior of the sample shows a semiconductor. The electrical transport behavior can be described by variable range hopping model. Large magnetoresistance, −0.88 and −0.18, can be observed under low magnetic field, 0.5 T, at low and room temperature, respectively.  相似文献

Eu2+ and Dy3+ co-doped calcium aluminate, barium aluminate and strontium aluminate phosphors were synthesized at an initiating combustion temperature of 500 °C using urea as an organic fuel. The crystallinity of the phosphors was investigated by using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and the morphology was determined by a scanning electron microscope (SEM). The low temperature monoclinic structure for both CaAl2O4 and SrAl2O4 and the hexagonal structure of BaAl2O4 were observed. The effect of the host materials on the photoluminescence (PL) and phosphorescence properties were investigated by using a He-Cd Laser and a Cary Eclipse fluorescence spectrophotometer, respectively. The broad band emission spectra observed at 449 nm for CaAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+, 450 nm (with a shoulder-peak at 500 nm) for BaAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ and 528 nm for SrAl2O4:Eu2+, Dy3+ are attributed to the 4f65d1 to 4f7 transition in the Eu2+ ion in the different hosts.  相似文献

GaN nanowires and nanorods have been successfully synthesized on Si(1 1 1) substrates by magnetron sputtering through ammoniating Ga2O3/V films at 900 °C in a quartz tube. X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), high-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and photoluminescence (PL) spectrum were carried out to characterize the structure, morphology, and photoluminescence properties of GaN sample. The results show that the GaN nanowires and nanorods with pure hexagonal wurtzite structure have good emission properties. The growth direction of nanostructures is perpendicular to the fringes of (1 0 1) plane. The growth mechanism is also briefly discussed.  相似文献

There will be a review of the history of polarized proton beams, and a discussion of the unexpected and still unexplained large transverse spin effects found in several high-energy proton-proton spin experiments at the ZGS, AGS and Fermilab. Next, there will be a discussion of present and possible future experiments on the violent elastic collisions of polarized protons at IHEP-Protvino's 70GeV U-70 accelerator in Russia and the new high-intensity 50GeV J-PARC facility being built at Tokai in Japan.  相似文献

Special sequences of wet-chemical oxidation and etching steps were optimised with respect to the etching behaviour of differently oriented silicon to prepare very smooth silicon interfaces with excellent electronic properties on mono- and poly-crystalline substrates. Surface photovoltage (SPV) and photoluminescence (PL) measurements, atomic force microscopy (AFM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) investigations were utilised to develop wet-chemical smoothing procedures for atomically flat and structured surfaces, respectively. Hydrogen-termination as well as passivation by wet-chemical oxides were used to inhibit surface contamination and native oxidation during the technological processing. Compared to conventional pre-treatments, significantly lower micro-roughness and densities of surface states were achieved on mono-crystalline Si(100), on evenly distributed atomic steps, such as on vicinal Si(111), on silicon wafers with randomly distributed upside pyramids, and on poly-crystalline EFG (Edge-defined Film-fed-Growth) silicon substrates.The recombination loss at a-Si:H/c-Si interfaces prepared on c-Si substrates with randomly distributed upside pyramids was markedly reduced by an optimised wet-chemical smoothing procedure, as determined by PL measurements. For amorphous-crystalline hetero-junction solar cells (ZnO/a-Si:H(n)/c-Si(p)/Al) with textured c-Si substrates the smoothening procedure results in a significant increase of short circuit current Isc, fill factor and efficiency η. The scatter in the cell parameters for measurements on different cells is much narrower, as compared to conventional pre-treatments, indicating more well-defined and reproducible surface conditions prior to a-Si:H emitter deposition and/or a higher stability of the c-Si surface against variations in the a-Si:H deposition conditions.  相似文献

Co0.2AlxZn0.8−xO films prepared with different molar ratio of aluminum nitrate to zinc acetate were deposited on substrates by the sol-gel technique. X-ray diffraction, photoluminescence and ferromagnetism measurements were used to characterize the Co0.2AlxZn0.8−xO diluted magnetic semiconductors. The authors found that the intensity of the acceptor-related photoluminescence increased with increasing aluminum concentration and an increase in the number of the acceptor-like defects (zinc vacancies especially) in the Co0.2AlxZn0.8−xO film might lead to the enhancement of the magnetic properties. This implies that controls of the aluminum concentration and the number of the acceptor-like defects are important factors to produce strong ferromagnetism Co0.2AlxZn0.8−xO films prepared by the sol-gel method.  相似文献

Using empirical pseudopotential method Γ-L crossover is found for the Ga0.74Al0.26Sb. The conduction band minimum is observed to switch at the (0.87, 0, 0) point for Ga0.51Al0.49Sb which shifts to the X point for Ga0.21Al0.79Sb and remains at X leading finally to indirect band gap in AlSb. Band structure calculations for a large number of alloys are performed and bowing parameters bX and bL are proposed for the EX and EL respectively. Our findings may serve as directive to select the materials in a range of composition to examine the bowing parameters and thereby effective mass experimentally for the GaxAl1-xSb alloys.  相似文献

Using a first-principles band-structure method and a special quasirandom structure (SQS) approach, we systematically calculate the band gap bowing parameters and p-type doping properties of (Zn, Mg, Be)O related random ternary and quaternary alloys. We show that the bowing parameters for ZnBeO and MgBeO alloys are large and dependent on composition. This is due to the size difference and chemical mismatch between Be and Zn(Mg) atoms. We also demonstrate that adding a small amount of Be into MgO reduces the band gap indicating that the bowing parameter is larger than the band-gap difference. We select an ideal N atom with lower p atomic energy level as dopant to perform p-type doping of ZnBeO and ZnMgBeO alloys. For N doped in ZnBeO alloy, we show that the acceptor transition energies become shallower as the number of the nearest neighbor Be atoms increases. This is thought to be because of the reduction of p-d repulsion. The NO acceptor transition energies are deep in the ZnMgBeO quaternary alloy lattice-matched to GaN substrate due to the lower valence band maximum. These decrease slightly as there are more nearest neighbor Mg atoms surrounding the N dopant. The important natural valence band alignment between ZnO, MgO, BeO, ZnBeO, and ZnMgBeO quaternary alloy is also investigated.  相似文献
