研究目的
Investigating the effect of charge transport mechanisms on the efficiency of AlxGa1 – xAs/GaAs photodiodes.
研究成果
The study demonstrates a clear relationship between the 'saturation currents' for the diffusion-related charge-transport mechanism and the efficiency of AlxGa1 – xAs/GaAs p–i–n photodiodes. Higher 'saturation currents' lead to lower efficiencies under both constant and pulsed monochromatic light excitation.
研究不足
The study is limited to AlxGa1 – xAs/GaAs p–i–n photodiodes and does not explore other materials or structures. The efficiency measurements are conducted under specific conditions of monochromatic light excitation.
1:Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved the fabrication of AlxGa1 – xAs/GaAs p–i–n photodiodes by molecular-beam epitaxy and the analysis of their photovoltaic characteristics under monochromatic light excitation.
2:Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The samples were grown on n-GaAs (001) substrates using molecular-beam epitaxy.
3:List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
STE3526 machine (SemiTeq) for molecular-beam epitaxy, TiOx/SiO2 antireflection coating.
4:Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The photodiodes were characterized by measuring dark and light current–voltage characteristics, capacitance–voltage characteristics, and spectral dependences of photoresponse.
5:Data Analysis Methods:
The data were analyzed using a three-component exponential model of the current–voltage characteristic to determine the preexponential factors and diode coefficients for different charge-transport mechanisms.
