研究目的
To compare the technical advantages of using InAs/GaInSb over InAs/GaSb superlattice designs for reducing electron doping levels in very long wavelength infrared sensing applications.
研究成果
The InAs/Ga0.75In0.25Sb superlattice design exhibits lower electron background doping density compared to InAs/GaSb and InAs/Ga0.70In0.30Sb designs, making it a better candidate for long lifetime infrared materials in very long wavelength infrared devices, though further study is needed for optimization.
研究不足
The study is limited to specific SL designs and growth conditions; variations in growth defects and interface contamination could affect results. Epitaxial challenges with thinner ternary layers and strain balancing may constrain practical applications.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study involved designing type-II superlattice structures using an 8×8 envelope function approximation model to calculate band properties, followed by growth via molecular beam epitaxy and characterization using temperature-dependent Hall effect measurements and high-resolution X-ray diffraction.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Samples were grown on n-type GaSb wafers with specific SL designs (e.g., InAs/GaSb, InAs/Ga
3：75In25Sb, InAs/Ga70In30Sb) targeting cutoff wavelengths around 12 and 16 μm. List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
Molecular beam epitaxy system for growth, high-resolution X-ray diffractometer for structural analysis, and temperature-dependent Hall effect measurement setup for electrical characterization.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Growth involved buffer layer deposition, SL layer growth at controlled temperatures and flux ratios, followed by capping. Measurements included X-ray diffraction to confirm period and strain, and Hall effect measurements from 10 to 300 K.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Data were analyzed to extract electron density and mobility, with comparisons made between different SL designs.
