研究目的
Investigating the electrical and optical properties of AlInSb/GaAs photodiode sensors for mid-infrared range applications at room temperature, focusing on dislocation reduction to enhance device performance.
研究成果
The study demonstrated a significant improvement in AlInSb/GaAs photodiode performance by reducing threading and interfacial dislocations through strain energy density control in dislocation filter and barrier layers. This approach is crucial for enhancing the performance of mid-infrared photodiodes at room temperature.
研究不足
The study is limited by the challenges in reducing dislocation densities in highly mismatched alloys and the need for further optimization of strain energy density in dislocation filter and barrier layers to achieve higher device performance.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employed molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) for growing AlInSb photodiode structures on GaAs substrates, with variations in dislocation filter layers and barrier layers to control strain energy density.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Semi-insulating GaAs (100) substrates were used. The structures included control samples and samples with dislocation filter layers.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
MBE system (MBE 49, RIBER), X-ray diffraction measurement (XRD, Xpert-Pro-MRD, Malvern Panalytical), scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM; HD-2300, Hitachi), focused ion beam (FIB) processing, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR, Nicolet8700, Thermo Fisher Scientific).
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The photodiode structures were grown by MBE, characterized by XRD and STEM, and processed into mesa-type photodiode sensors. Electrical and optical properties were measured at room temperature.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Threading and interfacial dislocation densities were analyzed from STEM images. Device performance was evaluated through resistance-area product (RA) and spectral detectivity (D*).
