Ferroelectric Enhanced Performance of a GeSn/Ge Dual-Nanowire Photodetector
摘要： GeSn offers a reduced bandgap than Ge and has been utilized in Si-based infrared photodetectors with extended cutoff wavelength. However, traditional GeSn/Ge heterostructure usually consists defects like misfit dislocations due to the lattice mismatch issue. The defects with the large feature size of photodetector fabricated on bulk GeSn/Ge heterostructure induces considerable dark current. Here, we demonstrate a flexible GeSn/Ge dual-nanowire (NW) structure, in which the strain relaxation is achieved by the elastic deformation without introducing defects and the feature dimension is naturally at nanoscale. Photodetector with low dark current can be built on GeSn/Ge dual-NW, which exhibits an extended detection wavelength beyond 2 μm and the enhanced responsivity compared to Ge NW. Moreover, the dark current can be further suppressed by the depletion effect from ferroelectric polymer side gate. Our work suggests the flexible GeSn/Ge dual-NW may open an avenue for Si-compatible optoelectronic circuits operating in the short-wavelength infrared range.

Spin pumping and laser modulated inverse spin Hall effect in yttrium iron garnet/germanium heterojunctions
摘要： In this work, undoped semiconductors, germanium (Ge) and germanium tin (GeSn), were grown on ferrimagnetic insulator yttrium iron garnet (YIG) thin ?lms using ultra-high vacuum molecular beam epitaxy. The crystallinity of the structure was determined from x-ray diffraction and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy. Both spin pumping and inverse spin Hall effects (ISHEs) of YIG/Ge and YIG/GeSn heterojunctions have been investigated with the help of broadband ferromagnetic resonance (FMR). We observe that the spin mixing conductances of YIG/Ge (60 nm) and YIG/GeSn (60 nm) are 5.4 (cid:2) 1018 m(cid:3)2 and 7.2 (cid:2) 1018 m(cid:3)2, respectively, responsible for giant spin current injection. Furthermore, it is found that spin pumping injects giant spin current from ferrimagnetic YIG into the Ge semiconductor. The infrared laser modulated ISHE was examined using heavy metal platinum as a spin current collector. Also, it has been noted that the variation in the power of laser irradiation signi?cantly changed the ISHE voltage of YIG/Ge/Pt spin junctions, saturated magnetization, FMR linewidth, and Gilbert damping parameter of YIG, which could be attributed to the laser-induced thermal effect. The outcomes from this study are promising for the development of Ge-based spintronic and magnonic devices.

Comparison study of temperature dependent direct/indirect bandgap emissions of Ge1-x-ySixSny and Ge1-ySny grown on Ge buffered Si
摘要： Temperature-dependent photoluminescence (PL) of two sets of ternary samples with fixed tin concentrations of ~5.2% (Ge0.924Si0.024Sn0.052, and Ge0.911Si0.036Sn0.053) and ~7.3% (Ge0.90Si0.027Sn0.073, and Ge0.888Si0.04Sn0.072) were measured along with their binary counterparts (Ge0.948Sn0.052 and Ge0.925Sn0.075). The variations of direct bandgap emission (ED) and indirect bandgap emission (EID) with temperature were studied for both ternary and binary alloys by means of Gaussian curve fitting, and the results are compared. The bandgap widths of ternaries clearly increase after Si incorporation into the GeSn with similar Sn concentrations. It is found that for the ternaries both ED and EID peak energies are blue shifted, and the energy separation of ED and EID peaks becomes larger than that of binaries for similar Sn concentrations. Moreover, both ED and EID peaks appear at room temperature (RT) in the GeSiSn spectra, but the ED peak position is greater than EID, indicating these ternaries are indirect bandgap materials. Low temperature PL validates the existence of indirect PL emission in Ge0.90Si0.027Sn0.073 and direct gap behavior in Ge0.925Sn0.075, indicating GeSn becomes a direct bandgap material at lower Sn concentration than GeSiSn. The PL intensities of these ternaries are generally weaker and the spectra become more complicated than those of binaries, probably due to increased strain and defects in the ternaries. Finally, it is found that the effect of large differences in strain of ternary samples on PL peak positions can be greater than that of small Si composition differences in ternaries. A large compressive strain in ternaries can also make splitting of the ED into ED,HH (conduction band minimum-Γ valley to heavy hole maximum) and ED,LH (conduction band minimum-Γ valley to light hole maximum) transitions more observable in the PL spectra.

[IEEE 2019 IEEE 16th International Conference on Group IV Photonics (GFP) - Singapore, Singapore (2019.8.28-2019.8.30)] 2019 IEEE 16th International Conference on Group IV Photonics (GFP) - Mid-Infrared GeSn-Based LEDs with Sn Content up to 16%
摘要： We have grown by Reduced Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition (RPCVD) vertical GeSn light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with (i) Sn content ranging from 6% to 16% and (ii) with or without SiGeSn barriers. Direct band-gap behaviors and activation energies of defects affecting emission efficiency of our different stacks were analyzed by temperature dependent electroluminescence measurements. A strong light emission enhancement was observed thanks to SiGeSn confinement barriers compared to reference samples. The electroluminescence intensity of Ge0.84Sn0.16 LEDs was increased by a factor 2 compared to that of Ge0.87Sn0.13 devices. This strong enhancement at room temperature is attributed to the increase of the splitting energy between Γ and L valleys for higher Sn content LEDs.
