  • Fabrication and characterization of an AlGaN light emitting diode with Al-doped ZnO as a current spreading tunnel junction layer
    Shun Ukita; Takeyoshi Tajiri; Kazuo Uchida
    AIP Advances, AIP Publishing, 13巻, 9号, 出版日 2023年09月01日, We fabricated an AlGaN light emitting diode (LED) with a heavily Al-doped n-type ZnO layer on a p-type contact layer as a tunnel junction (TJ) to improve carrier injection into the LED. We characterized its electrical and optical properties and compared them to those of an AlGaN LED without ZnO. From the I–V characteristic of the LED with ZnO, we observed a threshold voltage of circa 2 V, which could be due to Zener breakdown of the type II heterostructure of n-ZnO/p-GaN as a TJ. From the electroluminescence measurement, we observed a similar emission peak in both AlGaN LEDs at ultraviolet (UV) wavelengths, but a broad emission band around 365 nm in the LED with ZnO. This emission could be originating from ZnO photoexcited by the UV LED emission. The dependence of these peak intensities on input currents shows that there is a monotonic increase in the light emission intensity for the UV LED emission, but a saturation behavior after the threshold voltage for the emission from the ZnO. This saturation behavior is attributed to an overflow of photoexcited electron–hole pairs into p-GaN, strongly suggesting that n-ZnO/p-GaN works as a TJ. Electroluminescence data also show that the presence of the ZnO film facilitates current spreading, which enables device operation at large input currents. Therefore, ZnO can work as a current spreading TJ layer and improve the performance of the AlGaN LED.

  • Fabrication and optical characterization of GaN micro-disk cavities undercut by laser-assisted photo-electrochemical etching
    T. Tajiri, S. Sosumi, K. Shimoyoshi, and K. Uchida
    Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, The Japan Society of Applied Physics, 62/ SC1069巻, 4S号, 掲載ページ 1-5, 出版日 2023年02月14日, 査読付, 国内誌, Abstract

    GaN micro-disk cavities undercut by laser-assisted photo-electrochemical (PEC) etching are fabricated and optically characterized. The laser source used in the PEC etching is tuned to be absorbed by the InGaN/GaN superlattice beneath the GaN disk to selectively etch the superlattice. Whispering gallery modes (WGMs) in fabricated GaN micro-disk cavities are evaluated by micro-photoluminescence spectroscopy of light emission from the embedded InGaN quantum wells. Quality factors estimated for the WGMs reach approximately 6700 at blue-violet wavelengths. Detailed analysis suggests that the high-Q WGMs are the fundamental WGMs. These results indicate the high applicability of laser-assisted PEC etching to the fabrication of air-clad GaN micro-cavities.

  • Mode analysis of GaN two-dimensional photonic crystal nanocavities undercut by photo-electrochemical etching
    Takeyoshi Tajiri, Masato Yoshida, Sho Sosumi, Kenshin Shimoyoshi and Kazuo Uchida
    Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, The Japan Society of Applied Physics (in press), 0巻, 0号, 掲載ページ 1-17, 出版日 2023年02月09日, 査読付, 国内誌, Abstract

    GaN two-dimensional (2D) photonic crystal nanocavities with a single embedded InGaN quantum well are undercut by photo-electrochemical (PEC) etching and optically characterized to investigate the fundamental mode. The PEC etching selectively removes an InGaN-based sacrificial layer to form air-suspended GaN photonic crystal cavity slabs. We investigated the resonant modes of the photonic crystal nanocavities by micro-photoluminescence spectroscopy measurement at room temperature. The wavelengths of the measured resonant peaks and their dependence on the photonic crystal period agreed well with numerical analysis, allowing us to determine the fundamental mode in the measured spectra. The highest quality factor for the fundamental mode reached 3400 at blue wavelengths. This work would contribute to the improvement of GaN 2D photonic crystal nanocavities using PEC etching as well as their applications towards integrated light sources in visible wavelengths.

  • ZnO-nanorods: A Possible White LED Phosphor
    Sachindra Nath Sarangi; T. Arun; Dinseh K. Ray; Pratap Kumar Sahoo; Shinji Nozaki; Noriyuki Sugiyama; Kazuo Uchida
    61ST DAE-SOLID STATE PHYSICS SYMPOSIUM, AMER INST PHYSICS, 1832巻, 掲載ページ 060022-1-060022-3, 出版日 2017年, 査読付, The white light-emitting diodes (LEDs) have drawn much attention to replace conventional lighting sources because of low energy consumption, high light efficiency and long lifetime. Although the most common approach to produce white light is to combine a hlue LED chip and a yellow phosphor, such a white LED cannot be used for a general lighting application, which requires a hroad luminescence spectrum in the visible wavelength range. We have successfully chemically synthesized the ZnO nanorods showing intense broad luminescence in the visible wavelength range and made a white LED using the ZnO nanorods as phosphor excited with a blue LED. Their lengths and diameters were 2-10 and 200-800 nm, respectively. The wurtzite structure was confirmed by the x-ray diffraction measurement. The PL spectrum obtained by exciting the ZnO nanorods with the He-Cd laser has two peaks, one associated with the near band-edge recombination and the other with recombination via defects. The peak intensity of the near band-edge luminescence at 388 nm is much weaker than that of the defect-related luminescence. The latter luminescence peak ranges from 450 to 850 nm and broad enough to be used as a phosphor for a white LED. A white LED has been fabricated using a blue LED with 450 nm emission and ZnO nanorod powders. The LED performances show a white light emission and the electroluminescence measurement shows a stiff increase in white light intensity with increasing blue LED current. The Commission International del 'Eclairage (CIE) chromaticity colour coordinates of 450 nm LED pumped white emission shows a coordinate of (0.31, 0.32) for white LED at 350 mA. These results indicate that ZnO nanorods provides an altemate and effective approach to achieve high-performance white LEDs and also other optoelectronic devices.

  • Growth mechanism of single-crystalline NiO thin films grown by metal organic chemical vapor
    Teuku Muhammad Roffi; Shinji Nozaki; Kazuo Uchida
    JOURNAL OF CRYSTAL GROWTH, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 451巻, 掲載ページ 57-64, 出版日 2016年10月, 査読付, Nickel oxide (NiO) thin films were grown by atmospheric-pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition (APMOCVD). Growth was carried out using various growth parameters, including the growth temperature, the input precursor (O-2/Ni) ratio, and the type of substrate material. Effects of the growth parameters on the structural and electrical properties of the films were investigated. X-ray diffraction analysis revealed that the crystal structure and quality were strongly affected by the growth temperature and the type of substrate material. At an optimized growth temperature, single-crystalline NiO films were grown on MgO(100) and MgO(111) substrates in a cube-on-cube orientation relationship, while on an Al2O3(001) substrate, the film was grown in the NiO[111] direction. The use of MgO substrates successfully suppressed the formation of twin defects, which have been frequently reported in the growth of NiO. The difference in the formation of the twin defects on MgO and Al2O3 substrates was discussed. It was observed that the resistivity dependence on crystal quality was affected by the choice of substrate material. The effects of the precursor ratio on the transmittance and resistivity of the films were also investigated. Improved transparency in the visible wavelength region and higher conductivity were found in films grown with higher O-2/Ni ratios. (C) 2016 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • InGaP/GaAs heterojunction photosensor powered by an on-chip GaAs solar cell for energy harvesting
    Phuc Hong Than; Kazuo Uchida; Takahiro Makino; Takeshi Oshima; Shinji Nozaki
    Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, The Japan Society of Applied Physics, 55巻, 4S号, 掲載ページ 04ES09-1-04ES09-6, 出版日 2016年03月16日, 査読付, In this study, an InGaP/GaAs heterojunction phototransistor (HPT) and a GaAs solar cell were monolithically integrated into an HPT epitaxial wafer, and the battery-free operation of the HPT was demonstrated for energy harvesting. Although the thickness and doping condition of the layers were optimized for the HPT performance, but not for the solar cell performance, the obtained short-circuit current was high enough to operate the InGaP/GaAs HPT in a two-terminal (2T) configuration. A collector photocurrent of 0.63 mA was obtained when the energy-harvesting InGaP/GaAs 2T-HPT was exposed to white light with a power density of 35 mW/cm2, and it linearly increased with the power density. For a potential application of the energy-harvesting InGaP/GaAs HPT as a photosensor in space, the device was irradiated with electrons of 1 MeV energy and 1015cm−2fluence. No significant degradation of the fabricated energy-harvesting 2T-HPT after the high-energy electron irradiation guarantees its battery-free operation in space.

  • Effects of Electrical Stress on the InGaP/GaAs Heterojunction Phototransistor
    Phuc Hong Than; Kazuo Uchida; Shinji Nozaki
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON DEVICE AND MATERIALS RELIABILITY, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 15巻, 4号, 掲載ページ 604-609, 出版日 2015年12月, 査読付, Although the effects of electrical stress on the performance of InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) have been widely studied and reported, few or no reports on the InGaP/GaAs heterojunction phototransistors (HPTs) have been published. In this paper, we discuss the phototransistor characteristics before and after the electrical stress applied at room temperature and at high temperature, and assess the effectiveness of the emitter- ledge passivation, which was found to keep the InGaP/GaAs HBTs from degrading at higher temperature or due to electrical stress. A room- temperature electrical stress was applied to the HPTs by maintaining a current density of 37 A/cm(2) for 1 h at room temperature. The electrical stress was lower by two to three orders than the stress usually applied to the HBTs for the stress study and did not cause significant decreases in the room- temperature current gain and photoresponse, but it significantly degraded the characteristics of the InGaP/GaAs HPTs at 420 K. In order to accelerate the degradation, the high- temperature stress was applied to both HPTs with and without the emitter- ledge passivation at 420 K. Although the current density was the same and the stress time was reduced to 15 min, the high- temperature stress significantly decreased the current gain and collector photocurrent of the HPT without the emitter- ledge passivation over the entire measurement temperature range of 300- 420 K. The emitter- ledge passivation suppresses the recombination via defects at the emitter perimeter and is found to be more effective than that in the HBTs.

  • Low-temperature formation of high-quality gate oxide by ultraviolet irradiation on spin-on-glass
    R. Usuda; K. Uchida; S. Nozaki
    APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, AMER INST PHYSICS, 107巻, 18号, 掲載ページ 182903-1-182903-4, 出版日 2015年11月, 査読付, Although a UV cure was found to effectively convert a perhydropolysilazane (PHPS) spin-on-glass film into a dense SiOx film at low temperature, the electrical characteristics were never reported in order to recommend the use of PHPS as a gate-oxide material that can be formed at low temperature. We have formed a high-quality gate oxide by UV irradiation on the PHPS film, and obtained an interface midgap trap density of 3.4 x 10(11) cm(-2) eV(-1) by the UV wet oxidation and UV post-metallization annealing (PMA), at a temperature as low as 160 degrees C. In contrast to the UV irradiation using short-wavelength UV light, which is well known to enhance oxidation by the production of the excited states of oxygen, the UV irradiation was carried out using longer-wavelength UV light from a metal halide lamp. The UV irradiation during the wet oxidation of the PHPS film generates electron-hole pairs. The electrons ionize the H2O molecules and facilitate dissociation of the molecules into H and OH-. The OH- ions are highly reactive with Si and improve the stoichiometry of the oxide. The UV irradiation during the PMA excites the electrons from the accumulation layer, and the built-in electric field makes the electron injection into the oxide much easier. The electrons injected into the oxide recombine with the trapped holes, which have caused a large negative flat band voltage shift after the UV wet oxidation, and also ionize the H2O molecules. The ionization results in the electron stimulated dissociation of H2O molecules and the decreased interface trap density. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

  • Visible-blind ultraviolet photodiode fabricated by UVoxidation of metallic zinc on p-Si
    Dongyuan Zhang; Kazuo Uchida; Shinji Nozaki
    JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS, AMER INST PHYSICS, 118巻, 9号, 掲載ページ 094502-1-094502-8, 出版日 2015年09月, 査読付, A UV photodiode fabricated by the UV oxidation of a metallic zinc thin film on p-Si has manifested unique photoresponse characteristics. The electron concentration found by the Hall measurement was 3 x 10(16) cm(-3), and such a low electron concentration resulted in a low visible photoluminescence. UV illumination enhances the oxidation at low temperatures and decreases the concentration of the oxygen vacancies. The I-V characteristic showed a good rectification with a four-order magnitude difference in the forward and reverse currents at 2V, and its linear and frequency independent C-2-V characteristic confirmed an abrupt pn junction. The photoresponse showed a visible blindness with a responsivity ratio of UV and visible light as high as 100. Such a visible-blind photoresponse was attributed to the optimum thickness of the SiO2 formed on the Si surface during the UV oxidation at 400 degrees C. A lower potential barrier to holes at the ZnO/SiO2 interface facilitates Fowler-Nordheim tunneling of the photo-generated holes during the UV illumination, while a higher potential barrier to electrons efficiently blocks transport of the photo-generated electrons to the ZnO during the visible light illumination. The presence of oxide resulted in a slow photoresponse to the turn-on and off of the UV light. A detailed analysis is presented to understand how the photo-generated carriers contribute step by step to the photocurrent. In addition to the slow photoresponse associated with the SiO2 interfacial layer, the decay of the photocurrent was found extremely slow after turn-off of the UV light. Such a slow decay of the photocurrent is referred to as a persistent photoconductivity, which is caused by metastable deep levels. It is hypothesized that Zn vacancies form such a deep level, and that the photo-generated electrons need to overcome a thermal-energy barrier for capture. The ZnO film by the UV oxidation at 400 degrees C was found to be rich in oxygen and deficient in zinc. (C) 2015 AIP Publishing LLC.

  • Structural, electrical, and optical properties of CoxNi1-xO films grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition
    Teuku Muhammad Roffi; Kazuo Uchida; Shinji Nozaki
    JOURNAL OF CRYSTAL GROWTH, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 414巻, 掲載ページ 123-129, 出版日 2015年03月, 査読付, Thin films of cobalt nickel oxide (CoxNi1-xO, x=0.01, 0.02, 0.08, 0.17, 022, 0.35, 0.56, 0.72) were grown on Al2O3 substrate by atmospheric pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (APMOCVD). The effect of the cobalt composition on the structural, morphological, optical, and electrical properties of the films was investigated. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis revealed that all of the films grew with a preferred orientation towards [1 1 1](Nio) and a twinned structure. Cobalt was well dispersed in the NiO structure up to x=0.08. Co alloys were formed from x=0.17 to x=0.22, while phase-separated NiO and CoxNi1-xO formed when x > 0.35. The bandgap of the CoxNi1-xO film was found to decrease with increasing cobalt composition. Four-point probe measurements showed that the resistivity of the film also decreased with increasing cobalt composition, reaching a minimum of 0.006 Omega cm. Hall measurements of the films revealed n-type conductivity. The correlation between the presence of cobalt in different ionization states and the observed decrease in resistivity as well as the type of conductivity in CoxNi1-xO is discussed.

  • NiO/Si heterostructures formed by UV oxidation of nickel deposited on Si substrates
    Dongyuan Zhang; Shinji Nozaki; Kazuo Uchida
    JOURNAL OF VACUUM SCIENCE & TECHNOLOGY B, A V S AMER INST PHYSICS, 32巻, 3号, 掲載ページ 0131202-1-0131202-6, 出版日 2014年05月, 査読付, Nickel oxide (NiO) is one of few metal-oxide semiconductors showing a p-type conductivity and can be combined with an n-type semiconductor to fabricate a pn diode. In this study, isotype and anisotype heterojunction diodes were fabricated by ultraviolet (UV) oxidation at 350 degrees C of metallic Ni deposited on p- and n-Si substrates. The I-V characteristics of the NiO/p-Si diode do not show rectification, while those of the NiO/n-Si diode show rectification with a difference of two orders of magnitude between the currents at 2 and -2V. The linear C-2-V characteristics of the NiO/n-Si and secondary ion mass spectroscopy profile confirm that the UV oxidation temperature is low enough so as not to affect deep inside the Si. The NiO layers formed by the oxidation of Ni under UV illumination are found to be more conductive and more suitable for the diode fabrication than those by the thermal oxidation of Ni without UV illumination at the same temperature. Because the oxidation temperature is relatively low and can be further reduced, the UV oxidation can become an important process technology to form various metal-oxide semiconductors from printed metals for future printed flexible electronics.

  • High-quality gate oxide formed at 150 °c for flexible electronics
    Yasuhiro Iijima; Ryo Usuda; Kazuo Uchida; Shinji Nozaki
    Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, Japan Society of Applied Physics, 53巻, 8号, 掲載ページ 08LC05-1-08LC05-5, 出版日 2014年, 査読付, This study describes the low temperature process to form the gate oxide of MOSFETs using a SiO nano-powder and post UV oxidation. The highquality SiO 2 gate oxide was successfully formed on a silicon substrate by vacuum evaporation of the SiO nano-powder followed by the post UV oxidation in steam at 200 °C. However, further lowering of the oxidation temperature to 150 °C degraded the insulating property and increased the interface trap density. In order to improve the SiO2/Si interface quality, the Si surface was irradiated by vacuum UV (VUV) using a Xe excimer lamp before evaporation of the SiO nano-powder. This substrate treatment has substantially improved the SiO2/Si interface quality. The physical mechanisms of the VUV and UV oxidation are discussed in order to understand the low-temperature formation of the SiO2. © 2014 The Japan Society of Applied Physics.

  • Highly p-typed superlattices consist of undoped InAs and carbon-doped GaAs layers

    Journal of Crystal Growth, Elsevier B.V., 370巻, 掲載ページ 197-199, 出版日 2013年05月01日, 査読付, The strained-layer-superlattice (SLS) consisting of undoped InAs and carbon-doped GaAs (GaAs:C) layers were successfully grown on InP substrates by LP-MOVPE. The grown superlattice shows the p-type conductivity with a hole concentration of 1×1019 cm-3 and Hall mobility of 70 cm2 V-1 s-1 at room temperature. The resistivity is low enough to be used as an electrically equivalent highly p-type InGaAs base layer of an InP/InGaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT). The High-Angle Annular Dark Field Scanning Transmission Electron Microscopy (HAADF STEM) images reveal that the InAs/GaAs:C superlattice has an interface more abrupt than the undoped InAs/GaAs superlattice. It is attributed to the suppressed In diffusion from InAs to GaAs due to carbon doping in GaAs. © 2012 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Characterization of partially ordered GaInP/GaAs heterointerfaces by the quantum Hall effect
    Kazuo Uchida; Kiwamu Satoh; Keita Asano; Atsushi Koizumi; Shinji Nozaki
    Journal of Crystal Growth, Elsevier B.V., 370巻, 掲載ページ 136-140, 出版日 2013年05月01日, 査読付, The new approach to the characterization of semiconductor interfacial properties by the quantum Hall effect (QHE) and the scanning near field optical microscopy (SNOM) is demonstrated to the heterointerfaces of partially ordered GaInP/GaAs grown by low-pressure Metal Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy. The Shubnikov de-Haas (SdH) oscillations and the Hall plateaus are observed in the heterointerfaces of both the less-ordered and more-ordered GaInP/GaAs samples with a large clover-shape, but these samples exhibit both 2D and 3D electron behaviors. In contrast to large clover-shaped samples, the distinct SdH oscillations and the Hall plateaus in the less-ordered sample, while the single SdH oscillation and the corresponding large plateau in the more-ordered small Hall-bar sample are observed. These results suggest that there may be many domains, each having a different carrier density and sizes in the less-ordered sample, while one or few large domains with uniform carrier concentration and sizes in the more-ordered sample. In SNOM measurements, PL intensity varies in the mapping of the more-ordered sample and it is concluded that the variation of the PL intensity may result from an inhomogeneous distribution of non-radiative recombination centers in the more-ordered sample. © 2012 Elsevier B.V.

  • Selective growth of ZnO nanorods by the hydrothermal technique
    Shinji Nozaki; Sachin N Sarangi; Surendra N Sahu; Kazuo Uchida
    Advances in Natural Sciences: Nanoscience and Nanotechnology, IOP PUBLISHING LTD, 4巻, 1号, 掲載ページ 015008, 出版日 2013年03月, 査読付, Zinc oxide nanorods were selectively grown on engineered substrates, Ag-patterned and photoresist-patterned substrates, by the hydrothermal technique using zinc nitrate (Zn(NO3)2) and hexamethylenetetramine ((CH2)6N4). The nanorod growth was affected by the substrate to be used. The nanorods were vertically grown on a GaN substrate but not on a Si substrate because of lattice mismatch. However, since the nanorods were grown on a thick Ag film no matter what substrate was used, a thick Ag film was deposited on a Si substrate to prepare the Ag-patterned substrate. Accordingly, the nanorods were grown only on the Ag pads. When the sizes of Ag pads were small such as 100 nm×100 nm, one single nanorod was grown on an Ag pad. As another engineered substrate, the photoresist was patterned to prepare an array of holes on a GaN-on-sapphire substrate by e-beam lithography. When the hole size was 10 nm×10 nm and higher, concentrations of Zn(NO3)2 and ((CH2)6N4) were employed, all holes were successfully filled with a single nanorod.© 2013 Vietnam Academy of Science &

It is shown that the commonly observed broadened DLTS peak previously ascribed to two traps referenced as E-1/E-2 has three components with activation energies for electron emission of 0.39, 0.43, and 0.44 eV. Further, defects associated with these emission signals have similar electronic structure, each possessing two energy levels with negative-U ordering in the upper half of the 6H-SiC gap. It is argued that the defects are related to a carbon vacancy at three non-equivalent lattice sites in 6H-SiC. (C) 2013 American Institute of Physics. [http://dx.doi.org/10.1063/1.4788814]

  • Effect of O2/Ni ratio on structure and surface morphology of atmospheric pressure MOCVD grown NiO thin films
    Teuku M. Roffi; Motohiko Nakamura; Kazuo Uchida; Shinji Nozaki
    Materials Research Society Symposium Proceedings, Materials Research Society, 1577巻, 掲載ページ 42-47, 出版日 2013年, 査読付, Effect of oxygen to nickel molar ratio (O2/Ni) on the crystallinity of atmospheric pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition (APMOCVD) grown NiO at 500°C is reported. X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis including grazing incident angle θ of 0.6°, θ-2θ, Φ and rocking curve scan are employed for crystallographic characterization. Furthermore, surface roughness is studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM). No evidence of diffraction peaks in X-ray grazing incident angle measurement confirms that all the grown NiO films are well oriented along a certain direction. θ-2θ scan results further indicate that the samples are highly oriented only along [111] direction on (0001) sapphire substrates. The analysis of full width at half maximum (FWHM) of rocking curve scan of (111) plane shows that higher O2/Ni ratio results in better crystallinity. The best crystallinity is achieved with FWHM as low as 0.106° at (111) rocking curve scan corresponding to 82.57nm grain size. AFM measurement shows that NiO films grown with higher O2/Ni ratio have smoother surface morphology. © 2013 Materials Research Society.

  • Fabrication of a p-NiO/n-Si heterojunction diode by UV oxidation of Ni deposited on n-Si
    Dongyuan Zhang; Kazuo Uchida; Shinji Nozaki
    Materials Research Society Symposium Proceedings, 1494巻, 掲載ページ 305-309, 出版日 2013年, 査読付, The metallic nickel (Ni) deposited on an n-Si substrate with resistivity of 4-6 Ω·cm was oxidized by the ultra-violet (UV) oxidation technique to form a p-NiO/n-Si heterojunction diode. The rectifying current-voltage (I-V) characteristic confirmed formation of a pn junction. The capacitance-voltage (C-V) characteristic further identified an abrupt p+n junction between NiO and n-Si. The photocurrent increased with the increased wavelength of laser under illumination of the diode. The voltage-dependent photocurrent suggests that the carriers generated in the depletion region of Si was effectively collected but not outside the depletion region. A low diffusion length of holes was attributed to Ni diffusion in Si caused by the substrate heating during the UV oxidation. © 2013 Materials Research Society.

  • Intense ultraviolet photoluminescence observed at room temperature from NiO nano porous thin films grown by the hydrothermal technique
    Sachindra Nath Sarangi; Dongyuan Zhang; Pratap Kumar Sahoo; Kazuo Uchida; Surendra Nath Sahu; Shinji Nozaki
    Materials Research Society Symposium Proceedings, 1494巻, 掲載ページ 203-208, 出版日 2013年, 査読付, We have successfully formed high-quality nanoporous NiO films by the hydrothermal technique and observed intense ultraviolet (UV) luminescence at room temperature. The SEM image reveals nanoporous NiO films with pore diameters from 70 to 500 nm. The results of XRD, Micro Raman and FTIR characterizations confirm the cubic structure of NiO. The optical band gaps estimated from the absorption spectrum are found to be 3.86 and 4.51 eV. The former is similar to that of bulk NiO, while the latter is much higher than that of bulk NiO. The increased band gap was attributed to the quantum confinement in the NiO nanocrystals, which may be present in the nanoporous NiO film. The room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectrum shows a peak of intense luminescence at 3.70 eV and several other peaks in the UV and near-UVwavelength regions. The intense UV luminescence at 3.70 eV was associated with the near band-edge emission and the others with defect-related emission. The high-quality wall of nanoporous NiO with a large surface-to-volume ratio provided the intense UV emission. © 2012 Materials Research Society.

The defect X-2 detected by the charge transient spectroscopy and the electron trap E-i, detected by the DLTS had a similar activation energy of around 0.50 eV. In addition, the annealing at 473K completely removed defects X-2 and E-i, and restored the CCE. The defect X-2 is attributed to the electron trap E-i, and responsible for the decreased CCE.

  • High-quality single crystalline NiO with twin phases grown on sapphire substrate by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy
    Kazuo Uchida; Ken-Ichi Yoshida; Dongyuan Zhang; Atsushi Koizumi; Shinji Nozaki
    AIP Advances, AMER INST PHYSICS, 2巻, 4号, 掲載ページ 042154-1-042154-5, 出版日 2012年, 査読付, High-quality single crystalline twin phase NiO grown on sapphire substrates by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy is reported. X-ray rocking curve analysis of NiO films grown at different temperatures indicates a minimum full width at half maximum of the cubic (111) diffraction peak of 0.107° for NiO film grown at as low as 550 °C. Detailed microstructural analysis by Φ scan X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy reveal that the NiO film consists of large single crystalline domains with two different crystallographic orientations which are rotated relative to each other along the [111] axis by 60°. These single crystal domains are divided by the twin phase boundaries. © 2012 Copyright 2012 Author(s). This article is distributed under a Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Unported License.

  • Single-Alpha-Particle-Induced Charge Transient Spectroscopy of the 6H-SiC p(+)n Diode Irradiated With High-Energy Electrons
    Naoya Iwamoto; Atsushi Koizumi; Shinobu Onoda; Takahiro Makino; Takeshi Ohshima; Kazutoshi Kojima; Shunpei Koike; Kazuo Uchida; Shinji Nozaki
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NUCLEAR SCIENCE, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 58巻, 6号, 掲載ページ 3328-3332, 出版日 2011年12月, 査読付, The defects formed in a 6H-SiC p(+)n diode by irradiation with 1 MeV electrons have been studied by both single-alpha-particle-induced charge transient spectroscopy and conventional deep level transient spectroscopy (DLTS). The charge collection efficiency was significantly degraded by the electron irradiation. A radiation-induced defect (X) was observed by charge transient spectroscopy. We assign this defect to the electron trap Ei already known in literature and observed by us with DLTS, as its activation energy, 0.50 eV, and annealing behavior, are similar. Moreover, as peaks related to X/Ei disappear after annealing at 250 degrees C and charge collection efficiency also significantly recover after annealing at 250 degrees C, we conclude that this defect is mainly responsible for the decreased charge collection efficiency.

  • Transient Analysis of an Extended Drift Region in a 6H-SiC Diode Formed by a Single Alpha Particle Strike and Its Contribution to the Increased Charge Collection
    N. Iwamoto; S. Onoda; T. Makino; T. Ohshima; K. Kojima; A. Koizumi; K. Uchida; S. Nozaki
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NUCLEAR SCIENCE, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 58巻, 1号, 掲載ページ 305-313, 出版日 2011年02月, 査読付, Charge collection of a 6H-SiC p(+)n diode has been studied. The collected charges of the diode are measured using a single alpha particle strike at various reverse bias voltages, then analyzed using both the low-injection charge collection model and the DESSIS device simulator. It is found that the total collected charges at lower bias voltages cannot be well understood based on the low-injection model. In distinct contrast, the device simulator successfully predicts the total collected charges at all voltages including the lower ones. The transient analysis of carrier and electric field distributions after the strike shows insignificant collapse of the original depletion region and time-dependent extension of the electric field beyond the original depletion region. A new physics is proposed to explain slower rearrangement of carriers, compared to Si devices, and formation of an extended drift region in the 6H-SiC diode based on the results of the transient analysis.

  • In situ CBrCl3 etching to control size and density of InAs/GaAs quantum dots
    Atsushi Koizumi; Hiroshi Imanishi; Kazuo Uchida; Shinji Nozaki
    JOURNAL OF CRYSTAL GROWTH, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 315巻, 1号, 掲載ページ 106-109, 出版日 2011年01月, 査読付, The effects of in situ CBrCl3 etching of InAs quantum dots (QDs) grown on GaAs by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy have been studied in detail for control of the size and density of InAs dots. The width and height distributions of InAs dots after etching for various etching times and CBrCl3 flow rates suggest that the CBrCl3 etching is ineffective in decreasing the width but effective in decreasing the height. The density of the InAs dots are controlled over more than 2 orders of magnitude by changing the flow rate from 0 to 22 mu mol/min. Although the atomic force microscopic (AFM) image for 22 mu mol/min does not show any dots because of a detection limit, the PL peak associated with the QDs evidences presence of dots whose density is less than 2 x 10(6) cm(-2). Such a low density is suitable for single QD device applications. The PL spectra for various CBrCl3 flow rates suggest less effective etching of the Ga-rich InGaAs wetting layer and the decreased size of QDs with the increased flow rates. (C) 2010 Elsevier B.V.

  • Improvement of high-power-white-LED lamp performance by liquid injection
    T. M. Roffi; I. Idris; K. Uchida; S. Nozaki; N. Sugiyama; H. Morisaki; F. X.N. Soelami
    Proceedings of the 2011 International Conference on Electrical Engineering and Informatics, ICEEI 2011, IEEE, 掲載ページ 1-6, 出版日 2011年, 査読付, Performance of a high-power-white-LED lamp is mostly hindered by its poor thermal characteristic. This characteristic is accessed by its thermal resistance. Besides thermal characteristic, light quality of a high-power-white-LED lamp is also an important issue. This parameter is accessed by its luminous efficiency. Both thermal characteristic and light quality need to be optimized in order to develop a high-power-white-LED lamp. In this study we made an attempt to improve the characteristic features (both the thermal resistance and luminous efficiency) of a high-power-white-LED lamp by liquid injection in the lamp package. Experiments were carried out on a highpower- white-LED lamp consisting of 5 blue LED chips, 5 phosphor-epoxy layers and 3M Fluorinert FC-43 as an injected liquid. Furthermore, the light extraction with the total internal reflection was simulated to confirm the improvement by liquid injection. It is found from the experimental results that liquid injection has significantly improved the thermal dissipation of the lamp with the decreased thermal resistance by 14 %. It has also improved the lamps light quality with the increase in the luminous efficiency by 18 %. © 2011 IEEE.

  • Comparative Study on Reliability of InP/InGaAs Heterojunction Bipolar Transistors with Highly Zn- and C-Doped Base Layers
    Atsushi Koizumi; Kazuki Oshitanai; Jaesung Lee; Kazuo Uchida; Shinji Nozaki
    RELIABILITY AND MATERIALS ISSUES OF SEMICONDUCTOR OPTICAL AND ELECTRICAL DEVICES AND MATERIALS, MATERIALS RESEARCH SOC, 1195巻, 出版日 2010年, 査読付, The reliability of InP/InGaAs heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBTs) with highly carbon-doped and zinc-doped InGaAs base layers grown by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy has been investigated. The Raman spectroscopy reveals that the post-growth annealing for the carbon-doped InGaAs base improves the crystallinity to become as good as that of the zinc-doped InGaAs base. However, the photoluminescence intensity remains lower than that of the zinc-doped InGaAs even after the post-growth annealing. The current gains of the carbon-and zinc-doped base InP/InGaAs HBTs are 63 and 75, respectively, and they are affected by the base crystallinity. After the 15-min current stress test, the current gains decreased by 40 and 3% from the initial current gains for zinc-and carbon-doped base HBTs, respectively, are observed. These results indicate that the carbon-doped base HBT is much more reliable than that of zinc-doped base HBT, though it has a lower current gain.

  • Charge Collection Efficiency of 6H-SiC P+N Diodes Degraded by Low-Energy Electron Irradiation
    N. Iwamoto; S. Onoda; T. Ohshima; K. Kojima; A. Koizumi; K. Uchida; S. Nozaki
    SILICON CARBIDE AND RELATED MATERIALS 2009, PTS 1 AND 2, TRANS TECH PUBLICATIONS LTD, 645-648巻, 掲載ページ 921-+, 出版日 2010年, 査読付, The effect of electron irradiation on the charge collection efficiency of a 6H-SiC p(+)n diode has been studied. The diodes were irradiated with electrons of energies from 100 keV to 1 MeV. The charge collection efficiencies of the samples were measured for alpha particles before and after the electron irradiation. The electron irradiation at 100 keV does not affect the charge collection efficiency, while the electron irradiation at 200 keV or higher decreases the charge collection efficiency. The degree of the degradation of the diodes correlates with the energy of the electron irradiation.

  • Characterization of MOVPE-grown p-InGaAs/n-InP interfaces
    Kazuo Uchida; HIdenori Yamato; Yoshikuni Tommioka; Atsushi Koizumi; Shinji Nozaki
    Journal of Crystal Growth, ELSEVIER, 311巻, 16号, 掲載ページ 4011-4015, 出版日 2009年07月, 査読付, The low-pressure MOVPE-grown p-InGaAs-on-n-InP and n-InP-on-p-InGaAs diodes were characterized by I-V and C-V measurements to study the effects of the growth conditions on the heterointerface. The obtained band discontinuity in the conduction band Delta E-c ranged from 0.19 to 0.32 eV. It was found that Delta E-c was very sensitive to the growth interruption at the InP/InGaAs heterointerface. The n-InP-on-p-InGaAs diodes tend to show higher Delta E-c than the p-InGaAs-on-n-InP diodes. The decreased Delta E-c at InGaAs-on-InP heterointerface might be attributed to the graded layer of InGaAsP formed by intermixing at the interface. It is concluded from the estimated Delta E-c that the InP-on-InGaAs heterointerface is more abrupt than the InGaAs-on-InP heterointerface. An improvement of the InGaAs-on-InP heterointerface is mandatory for fabrication of high-performance double heterojunction bipolar transistors with InP collector layers. (C) 2009 Elsevier B.V.

Early effect observed in the normal operation of the DHBT suggests the interdiffusion or mixing of III and V elements at the GaAs-on-InGaP heterointerface. The analysis of both heterointerfaces in the atomic STM images confirms that the GaAs-on-InGaP heterointerface is rougher than the InGaP-on-GaAs heterointerface.

  • Photoluminescence of Si nanocrystals formed by the photosynthesis
    S. Nozaki; C. Y. Chen; S. Kimura; H. Ono; K. Uchida
    THIN SOLID FILMS, ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, 517巻, 1号, 掲載ページ 50-54, 出版日 2008年11月, 査読付, Photosynthesis, which could control the size and position of Si nanocrystals being formed, as a novel nanofabrication technique making the best use of the strong interaction between photons and nanoparticles, is discussed in great detail. A nanocrystal growth is self-limited to the laser power and the laser-exposure time. The model is proposed to explain the self-limited growth and luminescence from the Si-rich oxide which was exposed to the laser. When the balance between the formation and loss of small amorphous Si clusters on the nanocrystal surface is maintained at a certain size, the nanocrystal growth will stop, and the final average size of the Si nanocrystals is achieved for each laser wavelength. The photoluminescence (PL) is observed when the Si nanocrystals are formed. The origin of the PL is associated with the small amorphous Si clusters, and its intensity increases with the increasing density of the Si clusters or photosynthesized Si nanocrystals. These small amorphous Si clusters remain particularly in the SiO nanopowder, which was made by thermal CVD using SiH(4) and O(2), even when the final average size is reached. The PL peak wavelength is well determined by the laser wavelength, which affects the structure of the small amorphous Si clusters and their light-emission energy. The photosynthesis is found to not only selectively form Si nanocrystals at low temperature, but also controls their size and even light-emission energy. (c) 2008 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

  • Photo-modification and synthesis of semiconductor nanocrystals
    S. Nozaki; C. Y. Chen; H. Ono; K. Uchida
    SURFACE SCIENCE, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 601巻, 13号, 掲載ページ 2549-2554, 出版日 2007年07月, 査読付, Both photo-oxidation and photosynthesis manifest a strong interaction between nanoparticles and photons due to the large surface area-to-volume ratio. The final sizes of the semiconductor nanocrystals are determined by the photon energy during these phenomena. The photosynthesis is demonstrated in a Si-rich oxide and is similar to thermal synthesis, which involves the decomposition of SiOx into Si and SiO2, that is well known and often employed to form Si or Ge nanocrystals embedded in SiO2 by annealing SiOx at high temperature. However, photosynthesis is much faster, and allows the low-temperature growth of Si nanocrystals and is found to be pronounced in the SiO nanopowder, which is made by thermal CVD using SiH4 and O-2. The minimum laser power required for the photosynthesis in the SiO nanopowder is much lower than in the Si-rich oxide formed by the co-sputtering of Si and SiO2. This is attributed to the weak bond strength of Si-Si and Si-O in the SiO nanopowder. Photosynthesis, which can control the size and position of Si nanocrystals, is a novel nanofabrication technique making the best use of the strong interaction between photons and nanoparticles.

  • Yellowish-white photoluminescence from ZnO nanoparticles doped with Al and Li
    J. Nayak; S. Kimura; S. Nozaki; H. Ono; K. Uchida
    SUPERLATTICES AND MICROSTRUCTURES, ACADEMIC PRESS LTD ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 42巻, 1-6号, 掲載ページ 438-443, 出版日 2007年07月, 査読付, ZnO nanoparticles codoped with Al and Li were chemically synthesized with a low temperature drying process. They are crystalline and can be made as small as 5 nm. Intense yellowish white photoluminescence, was observed from smaller ZnO nanoparticles with a higher concentration of Al and Li. The photoluminescence peak consists of yellow and green emission bands. Both peak intensities increase with increasing the Al and Li concentrations and with decreasing the size of ZnO nanoparticles. The green and yellow emission bands were attributed to donor-acceptor-pair recombination involving Zn vacancies and lithium as the acceptor state, respectively, and the donor responsible for both emissions to oxygen vacancies. Both enhanced emissions by codoping may be explained by an increase in the number of electrons occupying the deep donor level on account of doping with Al. Although the yellowish white emission decays with time, passivation of the crystallite surface with poly (p-phenylene vinylene) suppresses the degradation. The observed high-intensity and stable yellowish white emission makes PPV-passivated ZnO nanoparticles, codoped with Al and Li, more attractive as a candidate for "white" phosphor.

    Advanced Metallization Conference 2006 (AMC 2006), MATERIALS RESEARCH SOCIETY, 掲載ページ 413-417, 出版日 2007年, 査読付, We have successfully improved the mechanical strength of nanoporous silica thin films by the gas-evaporation technique since we first reported ultralow-k nanoporous silica made of SiOx nanoparticles. The key to the success is the increased substrate temperature during deposition of SiOx nanoparticles, which causes firm bonding of adjacent nanoparticles. The obtained nanoporous silica thin film with a dielectric constant of 1.8, whose modulus and hardness are 15 and 2.1 GPa, respectively, is suitable for the interdielectric to be used in the next-generation ULSI.

  • Correlation between the base-emitter interface crystalline quality and the current gain in InGaP/GaAs HBTs grown by MOVPE
    K. Uchida; A. Kurokawa; F. Yang; Z. Jin; S. Nozaki; H. Morisaki
    Jornal of Crystal Growth, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 298巻, 掲載ページ 861-866, 出版日 2006年11月, 査読付, We demonstrated that the InGaP emitter ledge passivation in InGaP/GaAs heterojunction bipolar transistor (HBT) could suppress the recombination components in I-B induced by the extrinsic base surface and the defects activated by the current stress. Similar suppression of I-B by the current stress was found in unpassivated HBT with the 2 min growth interruption at the base-emitter interface under PH3 partial pressure and we attributed this to the existence of an intermediate layer at the base-emitter interface that would improve the interface crystalline quality and reduce the recombination component of I-B induced by defects at the base-emitter edge. Unpassivated HBT with the shorter post-growth annealing in time in hydrogen atmosphere, however, showed the increase in the current gain beta with the current stress because of the burn-in effect rather than the decrease in beta due to the increase of I-B induced by defects.

  • Selective formation of size-controlled silicon nanocrystals by photosynthesis in SiO nanoparticle thin film
    Changyong Chen; Seiji Kimura; Shinji Nozaki; Hiroshi Ono; Kazuo Uchida
    IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON NANOTECHNOLOGY, IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 5巻, 6号, 掲載ページ 671-676, 出版日 2006年11月, 査読付, The SiOx thin film with a thickness of about 1 mu m was formed on a GaAs substrate by bar-coating with the organic solution of the SiOx nanoparticles (similar to 40 nm). The as-formed SiOx thin film consists of the SiOx nanoparticles; thus the thin film is macroscopically discontinuous and is referred to as a nanoparticle thin film. Although there were no silicon (Si) nanocrystals in the as-formed SiOx nanoparticle thin film, Si nanocrystals were observed by Raman scattering measurement after the thin film was exposed to the laser beam. The growth of Si nanocrystals by laser irradiation is referred to as photosynthesis. The photosynthesis of Si nanocrystals is found to be a self-limiting process. After the average size reaches a certain value, further increase of irradiation time or laser power does not increase the average size. The photosynthesis is similar to the thermal synthesis of Si nanocrystals from SiOx but much faster and low-temperature growth of Si nanocrystals from SiOx. Furthermore, the laser irradiation makes nanoparticles larger by merging. This suggests a possibility of low-temperature formation of a Si-nanocrystal array embedded in a SiO2 thin film. Such a structure has many potential device applications.

    2006 IEEE CONFERENCE ON EMERGING TECHNOLOGIES - NANOELECTRONICS, IEEE, 掲載ページ 289-+, 出版日 2006年, 査読付, The SiOx thin film made of the SiOx nanoparticles (similar to 40 mu m) shows a strong reaction to laser irradiation. The photosynthesis of silicon (Si) nanocrystals (NC's) is found to be self-limited to the laser power and exposure time. Furthermore, the laser irradiation of the SiOz film not only produces Si NC's, also transforms (.) the SiOx. film from the powder-like to the continuous. The photosynthesis of Si NC's has several advantages such as low-temperature process and good control in the size and positioning over the conventional synthesis methods and has many potential applications.

  • Synthesis, properties and applications of germanium nanocrystals
    Shinji Nozaki; Hiroshi Ono; Kazuo Uchida; Hiroshi Morisaki
    NANO-SCALE MATERIALS: FROM SCIENCE TO TECHNOLOGY, NOVA SCIENCE PUBLISHERS, INC, 掲載ページ 35-42, 出版日 2006年, 査読付, We present an overview of the synthesis, properties and applications of germanium (Ge) nanocrsytals, referring to our recent review article published in Encyclopedia of Nanoscience and Nanotechnology [1]. We developed two fabrication techniques; the cluster-beam evaporation and the gas evaporation with a supersonic jet nozzle, to obtain smaller Ge nanocrystals with a good size distribution and observed unique optical and electrical phenomena such as photooxidation, blue-light emission, coulomb blockade. and phase-transformation. Although light-emitting devices may be the first choice among the device applications of Ge nanocrystals similar to Si nanocrystals, the short-term development of such devices is hindered by a low luminescence efficiency and the broad peak of the luminescence spectra. A new application that makes the best use of the properties of Ge nanocrystals and that cannot be realized with any other material must be explored for Ge nanocrystals to become more industrially important.

  • Self-limited photo-assisted synthesis of silicon nanocrystals
    CY Chen; S Kimura; S Seo; S Nozaki; H Ono; K Uchida; H Morisaki
    Group-IV Semiconductor Nanostructures, MATERIALS RESEARCH SOCIETY, 832巻, 掲載ページ 249-254, 出版日 2005年, Anomalous growth of silicon (Si) nanocrystals (NCs) was observed during Raman scattering measurements of nanosilica SiOx (x=0.9) powder with an average diameter of 40 nm. It was found that Si NCs were formed by exposure to the laser beam. This photo-assisted synthesis is similar to the thermal synthesis of Si NCs, which forms Si NCs by thermally decomposing SiOx into Si and SiO2. However, the photo-assisted synthesis is more effective in forming Si NCs than the thermal synthesis. Even one second after irradiation of the nanosilica SiOx powder with laser, Si NCs with an average size of 5 nm were formed. The Si NC size increases with increasing the laser power and exposure time. It is interesting to observe a self-limited size for higher laser power and prolonged exposure. The photo-assisted synthesis of Si NCs is proved to be a promising technique with a wide range of applications in nanotechnology.

    Physics of Semiconductors, Pts A and B, AMER INST PHYSICS, 772巻, 1号, 掲載ページ 931-932, 出版日 2005年, 査読付, A study of 11 K photoluminescence measurements of metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy grown GaAs/GaInP quantum wells is reported for the first time at pressures up to similar to 5 GPa. The use of low temperature allows us to study the true nature of a peak at similar to 1.46 eV, which dominates instead of the GaAs QW emission, even at very low excitation intensities to pressures well above the Gamma-X crossover in GaInP. Our results suggest that the similar to 1.46 eV emission is a spatially indirect transition of electrons and holes separated at the interface in a type II band alignment.

  • Fabrication of nanostructured palladium-doped SiO2 films with variable temperature coefficient of resistivity
    T Ichinohe; S Masaki; K Uchida; S Nozaki; H Morisaki
    THIN SOLID FILMS, ELSEVIER SCIENCE SA, 466巻, 1-2号, 掲載ページ 27-33, 出版日 2004年11月, 査読付, Electrical characteristics of palladium (Pd)-doped glass films of various Pd concentrations, which contain nanometer-sized Pd ultrafine particles, were studied. Temperature dependence showed that the temperature coefficient of resistivity (alpha) increased with decreasing resistivity; also, the sign of alpha changed from negative to positive. The critical resistivity at which alpha = 0 was within the range of 10(0)-10(-2) Omega cut, where temperature-independent resistance films can be designed. In films within this resistivity range, the sign of a changed to positive after annealing at 500 degreesC, demonstrating a metal-insulator transition characteristic before and after heat treatment. In a metallic regime having lower resistivity, the value of alpha and resistivity remained sufficiently small and higher than ordinary bulk metal, which phenomenon was discussed with a conduction model.

In this study, we have used a previously grown lattice-matched GaInP/GaAs heterostructure as the reference substrate on which Ga(x)ln(1-x)P epilayers of different composition and thickness were successively grown by MOVPE while recording rocking curves of each layer in real-time during the growth by using synchrotron X-ray source. Strain redistribution at the interface of the GaInP/GaAs substrate due to the different linear thermal expansion coefficients of GaInP and GaAs was determined from rocking curve of the heterostructure measured at 570 degreesC. We could detect the change in rocking curve due to the growth of as thin as 16 nm of In-rich Ga0.42In0.58P epilayer at the initial stage of growth. Data from the simulation of each intermediate rocking curve during growth was systematically used to grow a lattice-matched GaInP epilayer. We believe, this is the first report of measurement of rocking curves at high temperature and during MOVPE growth of GaxIn1-xP. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.

    JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS, AMER INST PHYSICS, 93巻, 3号, 掲載ページ 1613-1619, 出版日 2003年02月, 査読付, Heavy carbon doping of GaAs by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy has been carried out using a dopant source of carbon trichloro bromide (CCl3Br), an intersubstituted compound of the two highly efficient dopant sources of CCl4 and CBr4. Results are being reported in the doping range of 1.76 x 10(19)-1.12 x 10(20) cm(-3), achieved at growth temperatures between 570 and 600degreesC and VIII ratios between 10 and 50. The compensation mechanism of the carriers in the samples and its effect on the electrical and optical properties were systematically studied using double crystal x-ray diffraction, mobility, and photoluminescence measurements. A data analysis technique has been presented to quantitatively calculate the level of compensation in the layers from conventional lattice mismatch measurements. The antisite incorporation of carbon was found to be the dominant compensation mechanism for hole concentrations above 7.36 x 10(19) cm(-3). Room temperature mobility data of the samples showed a sharp deviation from the usual Hilsum's fitting after the carrier concentration of 7.36 x 10(19) cm(-3), due to increased self-compensation of the epilayers. The optical properties of the samples were correlated to the. self-compensation effect by the photoluminescence measurements carried out in the temperature range of 10-140 K.

  • A photo-oxidation generated low-k dielectric film deposited by reactive evaporation of SiO

    MICROELECTRONIC ENGINEERING, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 60巻, 3-4号, 掲載ページ 313-321, 出版日 2002年04月, 査読付, A non-stoichiometric silicon oxide film has been deposited by evaporating SiO as a source material in Ar and 0, mixed gas. The film is composed of SiO and SiO2 and has a porous structure. The SiO, results from some part of SiO reacting with O-2 and its amount depends on the pressure in the chamber. The residual SiO in the film can be photo-oxidized into SiO, by ultraviolet radiation with a Hg lamp. The dielectric constant of the film after photo-oxidation is similar to1.89 +/- 0.04 (at frequency of 1 MHz), which shows that this porous structure film is promising for potential application as a low-k dielectric.

  • Ultralow k nanoporous silica by oxidation of silicon nanoparticles

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE 2002 INTERNATIONAL INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE, IEEE, 掲載ページ 69-71, 出版日 2002年, 査読付, We have successfully fabricated ultralow-k (as low as 1.3) nanoporous silica with closed nanometer-size voids by oxidation of the silicon (Si) nanoparticles which were deposited by evaporation of Si in argon gas. The pores in the nanoporous silica films obtained by low-temperature dry oxidation of the Si nanoparticles are found to be closed voids by the small-angle x-ray scattering. Because of closed voids, the nanoporous silica films with low dielectric constants are tolerant of water absorption. The obtained nanoporous silica thin film is a good candidate for a low-k dielectric in the future Si VLSI.

  • Capacitance-Voltage (C-V) hysteresis in the Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor capacitor with Si nanocrystals deposited by the gas evaporation technique
    P Mishra; S Nozaki; R Sakura; H Morisaki; H Ono; K Uchida
    MATERIALS ISSUES IN NOVEL SI-BASED TECHNOLOGY, MATERIALS RESEARCH SOC, 686巻, 掲載ページ 153-158, 出版日 2002年, Capitance-Voltage (C-V) hysteresis was observed in the Metal-Oxide-Semiconductor (MOS) capacitor with silicon nanocrystals. The MOS capacitor was fabricated by thermal oxidation of Si nanocrystals, which were deposited on an ultra-thin thermal oxide grown previously on a p-type Si substrate. The Si nanocrystals were deposited by the gas evaporation technique with a supersonic jet nozzle. The size uniformity and the crystallinity of the Si nanocrystals are found to be better than those fabricated by the conventional gas evaporation technique. The C-V hysteresis in the MOS capacitor is attributed to electron charging and discharging of the nanocrystals by direct tunneling though the ultra-thin oxide between the nanocrystals and the substrate. The flat-band voltage shift observed during the C-V measurement depends on the size and density of the nanocrystals and also on the magnitude of the positive gate bias for charging. The retention characteristic is also discussed.

  • Correlation between the dielectric constant and porosity of nanoporous silica thin films deposited by the gas evaporation technique
    JJ Si; H Ono; K Uchida; S Nozaki; H Morisaki; N Itoh
    APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, AMER INST PHYSICS, 79巻, 19号, 掲載ページ 3140-3142, 出版日 2001年11月, 査読付, Nanoporous silica thin films with low dielectric constants were deposited by gas evaporation of SiO2 nanoparticles in an argon atmosphere. With increasing gas pressure during the evaporation, the dielectric constant decreases, while the porosity increases. The correlation between the dielectric constant and porosity is well modeled by a serial connection of two capacitors, one with air and the other with SiO2 as the dielectric medium. This suggests that the dielectric constant of the nanoporous silica thin film using the gas evaporation technique is more effectively lowered by forming "uniformly" distributed voids of closed gaps than those of the nanoporous silica films with pores extending from the back to front surface. Therefore, the former nanoporous silica thin film requires less porosity to obtain a low dielectric constant and is regarded as an ideal low-k material. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.

  • Spectroscopic study of partially ordered semiconductor heterojunction under high pressure and high magnetic field
    PY Yu; G Martinez; J Zeman; K Uchida
    JOURNAL OF RAMAN SPECTROSCOPY, JOHN WILEY & SONS LTD, 32巻, 10号, 掲載ページ 835-839, 出版日 2001年10月, 査読付, Photoluminescence upconversion (PLU) is a phenomenon in which a sample emits photons with energy higher than that of the excitation photon. This effect has been observed in many materials, including rare earth ions doped in insulating hosts and semiconductor heterostructures without using high-power lasers as the excitation source. Recently this effect has been observed also in partially CuPt-ordered GaInP2 epilayers grown on GaAs substrates. As a spectroscopic technique, PLU is particularly well suited for studying band alignment at heterojunction interfaces. The value of band offset has been determined with meV precision using magneto-photoluminescence. Using the fact that the pressure coefficient of electrons in GaAs is higher than that in GaInP2 we have been able to 'manipulate' the band offset at the GaInP/GaAs interface. By converting the band offset from type I to type II we were able to demonstrate that the efficiency of the upconversion process is greatly enhanced by a type II band offset.

  • Raman scattering studies of the ZnSe/GaAs interface
    P. Y. Yu; G. Martinez; J. Zeman; K. Uchida
    Journal of Raman Spectroscopy, 32巻, 10号, 掲載ページ 852-856, 出版日 2001年, 査読付, Raman spectroscopy was used to study the band bending at the interface of ZnSe/GaAs hetero-structures. A series of samples, which contained a ZnSe buffer layer, 0-35 nm thick, grown at a lower temperature than the much thicker ZnSe epilayer, by metal-organic chemical vapor phase deposition, were investigated. Compared with that of the GaAs substrate, an enhancement of the intensity of the LOGaAs phonon was found in samples grown without and with a thick (≥28 nm) buffer layer, but not in a sample grown with a 4 nm thick buffer layer. The enhancement is attributed to the electric field induced Raman scattering, resulted from a strong band bending on the GaAs side of the hetero-structure. The results suggest that the direction of the interfacial electric field on the GaAs side will reverse with increasing buffer layer thickness. Between this reversal, a near flat band condition can be achieved, as was found in a sample grown with a 4 nm buffer layer. This suggestion is consistent with the concomitant improvement of the structure of the epilayer and of the interfacial quality of the hetero-junction, which unpins the Fermi level and affects the band bending.

  • Wurtzite silicon nanocrystals deposited by the cluster-beam evaporation technique
    JY Zhang; H Ono; K Uchida; S Nozaki; H Morisaki
    PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI B-BASIC RESEARCH, WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 223巻, 1号, 掲載ページ 41-45, 出版日 2001年01月, 査読付, Wurtzite silicon nanocrystals have been fabricated by using the cluster-beam evaporation technique, The X-ray diffraction patterns of the as-deposited films indicate the presence of Si crystallites with sizes in the nanometer range. The Bragg angles of the reflection peaks are not of the ordinary diamond structure but of the wurtzite structure. The Raman spectra further support the presence of the wurtzite structure. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy shows that these Si nanocrystals are enclosed in the oxide matrix. It is hypothesized that the wurtzite Si phase is formed by the non-equilibrium cluster formation process through adiabatic gaseous expansion.

  • High pressure photoluminescence study of the GaAs/partially ordered GaInP interface

    PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI B-BASIC RESEARCH, WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 223巻, 1号, 掲載ページ 123-128, 出版日 2001年01月, 査読付, Using time-resolved (TRPL) and continuous-wave photoluminescence (CWPL) we have studied GaAs/partially ordered Ga0.5In0.5P single quantum well samples at pressures up to approximate to5 GPa. In such samples emission from the quantum well is only seen if intermediate cap layers an grown between the GaAs and GalnP and is otherwise masked by anomalous bands at around 1.46 eV. Examination of the TRPL spectra shows large differences in the pressure dependence of this emission because of the inequivalence of the GaAs/GaInP interfaces. For the sample with no thin GaP layer between the upper interface this emission has a very long PL-decay time and a stronger blueshift with excitation intensity at higher pressures. The pressure-dependent PL behavior at lower excitation intensity is close to that of the GaInP barrier. The 1.46 eV emission can be attributed to the spatially indirect transitions at the interface with no GaP layer.

The Gc sample, which consisted of the Ge-I phase at atmospheric pressure. did not transform to another phase under a pressure of 6 GPa for 10 days. After the slow release of pressure at a rate of 1 GPa/h to atmospheric pressure, a peak around 302 cm(-1) and two indistinct peaks around 274 and 285 cm(-1) have been noted. The sample was thought to consist of a mixture of GU-I, wurtzite, and Gc-III phases. After 4 h, the peak corresponding to Ge-III almost disappeared. The presence of both Ge-I and Gc-III phases has also been noted in photo-oxidized Ge nanocrystalline films using ultraviolet light exposure.

    PROCEEDINGS OF THE 25TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON THE PHYSICS OF SEMICONDUCTORS, PTS I AND II, SPRINGER-VERLAG BERLIN, 87巻, 1号, 掲載ページ 473-474, 出版日 2001年, 査読付, Ga-As/partially ordered Ga0.5In0.5P single quantum well structures grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy were studied using time-resolved and continuous-wave photoluminescence at pressures up to similar to5 GPa. Quantum well emission from GaAs/GaInP structures can be masked by anomalous bands at 1.35 similar to1.46 eV. The introduction of two thin (similar to2 nm) GaP layers between the GaAs and GaInP restores this emission. The true nature of the 1.46 eV peak can only be determined at low excitation intensities and provides evidence of the spatially indirect transitions in a type II band alignment.

We determined the average Al concentration profile perpendicular to the GaAs-(AlGa)As interfaces. Based on former investigations of short-range ordering in (AlGa)As bulk material grown with metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy, we conclude that short-range ordering during growth of the interfacial layers contributes significantly to the observed interface roughness.

  • An analysis of temperature dependent piezoelectric Franz–Keldysh effect in AlGaN
    Y. T. Hou; K. Teo; L; M.F. Li; K. Uchida; H. Tokunaga; N. Akutsu; K. Matsumoto
    Appl. Phys. Lett., AMER INST PHYSICS, 76巻, 8号, 掲載ページ 1033-1035, 出版日 2000年02月, 査読付, Strong Franz-Keldysh oscillations near the band gap of AlGaN are observed in the contactless electroreflectance (CER) studies of a GaN/InGaN/AlGaN multilayer structure. The line shape analysis of the CER spectra at different temperatures provides an accurate determination of the AlGaN band gap energies and the built-in electric fields. Using the existing data of the thermal expansion coefficients of GaN and sapphire, and the piezoelectric constants of AlGaN, the temperature dependence of the electric field is estimated and is in good agreement with the experimental results between 15 and 300 K. We attribute such electric field to the piezoelectric strain effect. (C) 2000 American Institute of Physics. [S0003-6951(00)02308-1].

  • Ultralow KSiO2 thin films with nano-voids by gas-evaporation technique
    S Nozaki; S Banerjee; K Uchida; H Ono; H Morisaki
    PROCEEDINGS OF THE IEEE 2000 INTERNATIONAL INTERCONNECT TECHNOLOGY CONFERENCE, IEEE, 掲載ページ 140-142, 出版日 2000年, We have developed the gas evaporation technique to deposit ultralow-k (as low as 1.7) SiO2 thin films with nanometer-size voids. In the technique silicon (Si) in a boat was evaporated in argon gas containing a small amount of oxygen. Although the film contains many nanometer-size voids, it is tolerant of moisture and does not show a change in the dielectric constant or the resistance with time. The SiO2, film deposited by the gas evaporation technique is a coed candidate for a low-k dielectric in the future Si VLSI.

  • Selective excitation and thermal quenching of the yellow luminescence of GaN
    JS Colton; PY Yu; KL Teo; ER Weber; P Perlin; Grzegory, I; K Uchida
    APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, AMER INST PHYSICS, 75巻, 21号, 掲載ページ 3273-3275, 出版日 1999年11月, 査読付, We report the observation of narrower structures in the yellow luminescence of bulk and thin-film n-type GaN, using the technique of selective excitation. These fine structures exhibit thermal quenching associated with an activated behavior. We attribute these fine structures to phonons and electronic excitations of a shallow donor-deep acceptor complex, and determine its activation energy for delocalization. Our results suggest that in addition to distant donor-acceptor pairs, the yellow luminescence can also involve emission complexes of shallow donors and deep acceptors.

  • Nanometer size determination of type-II domains in CuPt-ordered GaInP2 with high-pressure magneto-luminescence
    J Zeman; S Jullian; G Martinez; PY Yu; K Uchida
    EUROPHYSICS LETTERS, E D P SCIENCES, 47巻, 2号, 掲載ページ 260-266, 出版日 1999年07月, 査読付, Photoluminescence originating from the GaAs/(ordered)GaInP2 interface has been studied under the simultaneous application of high magnetic field and high pressure. A sharp threshold dependence on magnetic field was observed in the intensity of the spatially indirect. transition between electrons in GaInP2 and holes in GaAs. A model involving trapping of electrons from GaAs into "quantum boxes" formed by type-II ordered GaInP2 domains is proposed. This model reproduces the pressure-induced variations of the quantum box sizes and demonstrates the ability of this technique to study the properties of nanometer size systems.

    Phys. Rev B, AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 59巻, 15号, 掲載ページ 10296-10301, 出版日 1999年04月, 査読付, Atomically resolved, cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy was used to identify Al atoms in the surface layer of Ab(0.15)Ga(0.85)As grown with metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy. Characteristic fingerprints of individual and clusters of Al atoms were analyzed to identify surface-layer Al atoms resulting in atom maps of the Al positions. By quantitatively comparing the measured Al configuration with simulated images of a random Al incorporation, statistically significant deviations of the measured from a random Al distribution were found. These deviations are explained with a clear tendency of the Al atoms to form short-range ordered structures in the GaAs matrix. This ordering results in strings of Al atoms of a length of up to Rye Al atoms along low-indexed crystallographic directions. [S0163-1829(99)05415-6].

  • Time-resolved photoluminescence study of GaAs ordered GaInP interface under high pressure

    PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI B-BASIC RESEARCH, WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 211巻, 1号, 掲載ページ 247-253, 出版日 1999年01月, 査読付, We have measured the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of GaAs/GaInP single quantum wells at pressure up to approximate to 5 GPa, and investigated the characteristics of the 1.46 eV deep emission band. It has a very long decay time of several hundred nanoseconds. In addition, unlike the emission from the GaAs well, a strong blue-shift of its peak energy with excitation intensity is observed. With increasing pressure, the emission peak shows a sublinear shift towards higher energy, while the GaAs quantum well exhibits a linear peak shift. The pressure dependence of the spectral peak position at higher excitation intensity tends to reflect that of the adjacent 1.49 eV emission band which has a faster decay profile. The pressure-dependent PL behavior at lower excitation intensity is rather similar to those observed for partially ordered GaInP alloys. These results suggest that the presence of ordered GaInP layers plays an important role in the radiative recombination at 1.46 eV and the deep emission is related to the transitions of electrons and holes localized at the GaAs/ordered GaInP heterointerface.

  • GaAs/(ordered)GaInP2 Heterostructures under Pressures and High Magnetic Fields

    Physica Status Solidi B, WILEY-V C H VERLAG GMBH, 211巻, 1号, 掲載ページ 239-246, 出版日 1999年01月, 査読付, The results of extended studies of photoluminescence (PL) and up-converted PL (UPL) of partially ordered GaInP2 alloy layers under hydrostatic pressure and high magnetic field are presented. It appears that the efficient UPL is observed when the GaAs/GaInP2 interface has a type II alignment. This condition can be reached also by hydrostatic pressure. Dramatic changes of the character of PL spectra measured on less ordered samples are explained by pressure and/or magnetic field induced localization of electrons in small domains in GaInP2 nearby the interface.

  • Piezoelectric Franz-Keldysh effect in a GaN/InGaN/AlGaN multilayer structure

    PHOTONICS TECHNOLOGY INTO THE 21ST CENTURY: SEMICONDUCTORS, MICROSTRUCTURES, AND NANOSTRUCTURES, SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, 3899巻, 掲載ページ 46-53, 出版日 1999年, 査読付, Contactless electroreflectance (CER) of a GaN/InGaN/AlGaN multilayer structure grown on sapphire has been measured in the temperature range of 15 K and 450 K. Except for the GaN exciton structures, well-defined Franz-Keldysh Oscillations (FKO's) are observed above the AlGaN band gap. An electromodulational model based on complex Airy functions is used to analyse the FKO's line shape. The temperature dependence of transition energies is obtained both for GaN and AlGaN. The magnitude of the built in electric field in AlGaN layer is also determined. The temperature dependence of the electric field is found to be consistent with the variation of thermal strain in the epilayer. It is demonstrated that the built-in electric field can be identified to be due to the piezoelectric effect.

  • Folding of X-point phonons and conduction-band valleys in partially CuPt-ordered Ga0.52In0.48P grown on GaAs

    PHYSICAL REVIEW B, AMER PHYSICAL SOC, 58巻, 20号, 掲載ページ 13395-13398, 出版日 1998年11月, 査読付, We report the observation of a folded zone-edge phonon mode, in addition to the folded L point mode reported already in Raman scattering from GaxIn1-xP epitaxial layers grown on GaAs and containing two variants of CuPt ordering. This Raman mode becomes observable as a result of resonant enhancement at an electronic transition at 2.25 eV reported previously in electroreflectance measurements. Our results suggest that a folding of the Brillouin zone along the [001] direction occurs in partially ordered GaxIn1-xP samples due to the existence of antiphase boundaries. [S0163-1829(98)53344-9].

  • Optical studies of GaInP(ordered)/GaAs and GaInP(ordered)/GaP/GaAs heterostructures

    JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS, AMER INST PHYSICS, 84巻, 5号, 掲載ページ 2846-2854, 出版日 1998年09月, 査読付, We report on a detailed optical study of emission from a series of GaInP (ordered)/GaAs heterostructures. Some of these structures contain one or two thin (similar to 2 nm) layers of GaP between the GaInP and GaAs layers. A so-called "deep emission" band at 1.46 eV is observed in all our samples. However, at high excitation power, an emission above the band gap of GaAs (previously identified as quantum well emission) emerges only in structures where GaP layers are inserted on both sides in between the GaAs well and its GaInP barriers. From the pressure dependence we have identified the deep emission peak as due to donor-acceptor pair transitions at the GaAs/GaInP interface. The insertion of GaP layers between the GaInP (ordered) and GaAs layers helps to suppress the defects which contribute to this deep emission. By applying pressure to the sample which exhibits quantum well emission we have determined its band alignments. We show that the GaP layers form two effective barriers for confining electrons within the GaAs well. However, the magnetic field dependence of the quantum well emission reveals that the electrons form only a quasi-two-dimensional gas inside the GaAs well. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.

  • An analysis of temperature dependent photoluminescence line shapes in InGaN

    APPLIED PHYSICS LETTERS, AMER INST PHYSICS, 73巻, 12号, 掲載ページ 1697-1699, 出版日 1998年09月, 査読付, Photoluminescence (PL) line shapes in InGaN multiple quantum well structures have been studied experimentally and theoretically between 10 and 300 K. The higher temperature PL spectra can be fitted quantitatively with a thermalized carrier distribution and a broadened joint-density-of-states. The low temperature PL line shapes suggest that carriers are not thermalized, as a result of localization by band-gap fluctuations. We deduce a localization energy of similar to 7 meV as compared with an activation energy of similar to 63 meV from thermal quenching of the PL intensity. We thus conclude that this activation energy and the band-gap fluctuation most likely have different origins. (C) 1998 American Institute of Physics.

The excitonic photoluminescence peak related to the transition between confined electron and hole states does not exactly obey the B cos(Theta) law in the tilted magnetic field which is explained by the quasi-two-dimensional nature of electrons confined in the well by partially transmitting GaP barriers.

    APPLIED PHYSICS A-MATERIALS SCIENCE & PROCESSING, SPRINGER VERLAG, 66巻, 掲載ページ S959-S962, 出版日 1998年03月, 査読付, We present atomically resolved, cross-sectional scanning tunneling microscopy images of Al0.2Ga0.8As and Ga0.5In0.5P layers grown by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. On the AlGaAs layers, we have found large homogeneous areas with typical diameters of 2-5 nm that have a low Al concentration. These areas are surrounded by dipole-like pairs of enhanced and depressed As atoms. We have also found extended Al-related defects along the [1 (1) over bar 2] and [ (1) over bar 12] directions and propose a model structure containing small platelets of AlAs on {111} planes. On the GaInP2 layers, with ordering parameter of gamma = 0.42, we have been able to image the natural superlattice on the atomic scale in filled-state images as alternating enhanced and depressed P rows. In addition, we have found a long-period modulation induced by electronic contrasts, with a typical wavelength of about 4 nm.

  • Investigation of phonon-assisted photoluminescence in wurtzite GaN epilayer

    OPTOELECTRONIC MATERIALS AND DEVICES, SPIE-INT SOC OPTICAL ENGINEERING, 3419巻, 掲載ページ 27-34, 出版日 1998年, 査読付, Photoluminescence of wurztite GaN epilayer was measured in the range of 4K to 300K. At low temperature, the neutral-donor bound exciton emission dominates the spectra, while with increasing temperature, free exciton emissions grow rapidly and finally become the dominant lines. The exciton linewidth due to exciton-phonon interaction was studied. LO phonon-assisted photoluminescence associated with both the bound exciton and the free exciton were also observed. The temperature dependence of LO phonon-assisted emissions can be well explained by the phonon-assisted free exciton emission theory established for II-VI compound semiconductors. in particular, the study of 2LO phonon replica can provide information of the temperature dependence of the concentration and recombination lifetime of free excitons in GaN.

We have also performed photovoltaic measurements with various incidence angles of light, and observed the polarization behavior of exciton absorption in GaN. Finally, we used UV-polarizer to further confirm the polarization properties of GaN. In conjuction with previous room temperature photoreflectance measurements, this work provide direct and reliable assessment of the excitonic properties and crystal quality of GaN semiconductor layers.

    Review of High Pressure Science and Technology/Koatsuryoku No Kagaku To Gijutsu, 7巻, 掲載ページ 715-717, 出版日 1998年, 査読付, We have measured the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of GaAs/GaInP single quantum wells at 77 K and at pressures up to~5 GPa to investigate the characteristics of the 1.46 eV deep emission band. It shows a very long decay time, and might be attributed to spatially indirect recombinations of electrons and holes at the ordered GaInP/GaAs interface. With increasing pressure, the PL peak shifts towards higher energies at a rate slightly smaller than that of the 1.52 eV band from the GaAs well. The PL behavior observed at high pressures can be partly explained by the presence of repulsion between the T-folded energy states in ordered GalnP. © 1998, The Japan Society of High Pressure Science and Technology.

Above 3 GPa the PL spectra shows fast decays, which do not depend on the detection energy. We propose a model of type-II band alignment to explain the PL behavior observe at high pressures. © 1998, The Japan Society of High Pressure Science and Technology. All rights reserved.

  • Band alignment and photoluminescence up-conversion at the GaAs/(ordered)GaInP2 heterojunction

    PHYSICAL REVIEW B, AMERICAN PHYSICAL SOC, 55巻, 20号, 掲載ページ 13428-13431, 出版日 1997年05月, 査読付, The up-conversion of photoluminescence in a series of GaAs/(ordered)GaInP2 heterojunctions has been investigated using high magneticfield and high pressure. Samples which exhibit this effect have been demonstrated to have a type-II band alignment and also localization centers in GaInP2, Some samples revealing a type-I band alignment do not show this effect at atmospheric pressure. However, such a sample exhibits up-conversion under a hydrostatic pressure of 1.2 GPa. Our results establish a type-II band alignment as one of the key elements for explaining the observed up-conversion.

    REPORT OF RESEARCH CENTER OF ION BEAM TECHNOLOGY, HOSEI UNIVERSITY, SUPPLEMENT NO 15, MARCH 1997, HOSPITAL JOINT DISEASES, 掲載ページ 77-82, 出版日 1997年, 査読付, InxGa1-xN (0<x<0.15) films were grown on sapphire substrates at temperatures ranging from 650-750 degrees C using a novel metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system with a three layered laminar now injection reactor developed by Nippon Sanso. This reactor was designed for high speed gas now in order to suppress thermal convection and undesirable reactant gas reaction. Sharp and strong band edge PL spectra were observed at mom temperature from low InN molar fraction InxGa1. N-x(x=0.07)/GaN double heterostructure films, while InxGa1-xN/GaN double heterostructure films with higher InN molar fraction (x=0.15) exhibited a band edge emission and a broad unknown emission which looked like blue-green by human eye.

  • Deep emission band at GaInP/GaAs interface
    K Uchida; T Arai; K Matsumoto
    JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS, AMER INST PHYSICS, 81巻, 2号, 掲載ページ 771-776, 出版日 1997年01月, 査読付, We have investigated the 1.46 eV deep emission band observed in the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of 100-Angstrom-thick GaAs/Ga0.52In0.48 single quantum wells grown by metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy. We have found that the application of GaP layers at both lower and upper GaAs/Ga0.52In0.48P interface is necessary to achieve 1.52 eV emission from the well; otherwise only the deep emission band at 1.46 eV is observed in the 77 K PL spectrum. Time-resolved PL and temperature-dependent PL measurements show that the 1.46 eV deep emission is due to recombination of electrons in the conduction band of Ga0.52In0.48P and holes bound to accepters in GaAs at the GaAs/Ga0.52In0.48P interface, which forms type-II band alignment. We propose that the application of GaP layers modifies the band alignment from type II to type I, and makes the emission from the well observable. (C) 1997 American Institute of Physics.

  • III-V nitrides growth by atmospheric-pressure MOVPE with a three layered flow channel
    K Uchida; H Tokunaga; Y Inaishi; N Akutsu; K Matsumoto; T Itoh; T Egawa; T Jimbo; M Umeno
    III-V NITRIDES, MATERIALS RESEARCH SOCIETY, 449巻, 掲載ページ 129-134, 出版日 1997年, We introduce m-V nitrides growth including GaN as well as InGaN by a newly developed atmospheric-pressure metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy system with a three layered flow channel which is a promising system for a large scale production. First, we have shown through computer simulation that a laminar flow of gases is maintained at 1000 degrees C in the three layered flow channel. Second, as a part of epitaxial results, we have found that the surface roughness of a low temperature grown buffer layer on sapphire substrates, which can be measured by atomic force microscope, should be minimum in order to grow high quality GaN. We also report the growth of a double heterostructure of In0.15Ga0.85N/GaN which shows a strong near band-edge emission in room temperature photoluminescence.

  • Time-resolved photoluminescence study of ordered Ga0.5In0.5P under high pressure
    T Kobayashi; M Minaki; K Takashima; K Uchida; J Nakahara
    PHYSICA STATUS SOLIDI B-BASIC RESEARCH, AKADEMIE VERLAG GMBH, 198巻, 1号, 掲載ページ 49-55, 出版日 1996年11月, 査読付, We have measured time-resolved photoluminescence (TR-PL) spectra in ordered and disordered Ga0.5In0.5P alloys at 12 K and at pressures up to 3 GPa to investigate the characteristics of the main broad PL spectrum at approximate to 1.91 eV in nominally ordered alloys. At normal pressure, unlike the disordered alloy, the PL-decay profiles far the ordered alloys change remarkably for small changes in detection energy. This indicates the presence of adjacent overlapping emissions of different nature. Together with the prolonged nonexponential decay curves, a gradual red-shift of the low-energy peak with delay time is observed for the first time, indicating spatially indirect recombinations. With increasing pressure, the constituent emissions shift toward higher energies at rates slightly smaller than that for the disordered alloy. At 3 GPa, the PL decay appears to be insensitive to the detection energy, and a faster decay is observed.

  • Mechanisms of photoluminescence upconversion at the GaAs/(ordered) GaInP2 interface
    ZP Su; KL Teo; PY Yu; K Uchida
    SOLID STATE COMMUNICATIONS, PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 99巻, 12号, 掲載ページ 933-936, 出版日 1996年09月, 査読付, F.A.J.M. Driessen [Appl. Phys. Lett. 67, 1995, 2813] recently reported emission from GaAs/(partially ordered) GaInP2 quantum wells grown on GaAs when the excitation photon energy was above the band gap of GaAs. We found that such upconverted emission could be excited from partially ordered GaInP2 grown on GaAs even when the photon energy was below the band gap of GaAs. Auger processes are found to be inadequate in explaining our results. Instead we propose a two-step two-photon excitation mechanism together with a model in which the GaAs and GaInP2 conduction bands are almost degenerate. Copyright (C) 1996 Elsevier Science Ltd

  • COMPARATIVE-STUDY OF PHOTOLUMINESCENCE IN ORDERED AND DISORDERED GAINP ALLOYS UNDER HIGH-PRESSURE
    H KOJIMA; H KAYAMA; T KOBAYASHI; K UCHIDA; J NAKAHARA
    JOURNAL OF PHYSICS AND CHEMISTRY OF SOLIDS, PERGAMON-ELSEVIER SCIENCE LTD, 56巻, 3-4号, 掲載ページ 345-348, 出版日 1995年03月, 査読付, We have measured the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of ordered and disordered Ga0.5In0.5P alloys grown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy under pressures from 0 to 6 Cpa at three different temperatures (T = 12, 77 and 300 K). At atmospheric pressure, the band-gap energy E(0), derived from the PL spectrum, of the ordered GaInP is about 70 meV lower than that of the disordered alloy. With increasing pressure the PL spectrum exhibits a rapid shift toward higher energies. The band-gap energy E(0) of the ordered GaInP shows a sublinear pressure dependence up to about 4 GPa, while that of the disordered alloy increases almost linearly up to the highest pressures (3.0-3.5 GPa) beyond which the PL emission disappears. At lower temperatures (T = 12 and 77 K) the PL peak energy for the ordered GaInP is also found to decrease in energy for pressures above 4 GPa. These results can be partly related to the existence of the repulsion between the Gamma-folded energy states in the CuPt-type ordered structure, which affects E(0) and also the Gamma-X crossover under high pressure in these materials.

  • Control of defects in GaAs/GaInP interface grown by MOVPE
    T Arai; K Uchida; H Tokunaga; K Matsumoto
    ICDS-18 - PROCEEDINGS OF THE 18TH INTERNATIONAL CONFERENCE ON DEFECTS IN SEMICONDUCTORS, PTS 1-4, TRANSTEC PUBLICATIONS LTD, 196-巻, 196-201号, 掲載ページ 539-542, 出版日 1995年, 査読付, We have studied photoluminescence deep emission observed at GaAs/InGaP quantum well at around 8450 Angstrom. An insertion of a thin GaP layers in both GaInP/GaAs and GaAs/GaInP interfaces is effective to suppress the deep emission. The effects of the thin GaP interlayer are detailed. Further, the time-resolved photoluminescence measurement has revealed that this deep emission has a long decay time and the onset of the emission occurs about 20 ns after the incident of the pulse laser at 77K while the delay is absent at 300K. Since these results suggest that this deep emission is predominantly nonexcitonic and cannot be explained by the previous model such as the band to band emission from the GaInAsP intermediate layer at the GaAs/GaInP interface, we propose that the deep emission is more Likely caused by an atomic configrational defect in the GaAs/GaInP interface.

We found evidence of a pressure-induced conversion of Ga0.5In0.5P from a direct band gap semiconductor to an indirect band gap semiconductor owing to lowering of the X conduction band valleys relative to the minimum at the zone centre. Raman spectra in Ga0.5In0.5P samples doped with Se donors are reported. In ordered Ga0.5In0.5P electronic Raman scattering from single-particle excitations indicates the existence of a high-density electron gas which is absent in a similarly doped disordered sample.

  • Pressure-induced Γ-X crossover in the conduction band of ordered and disordered Galnp alloys
    K. Uchida; P.Y.Yu; N. Noto; E.R.Weber
    Appl. Phys. Lett., AMER INST PHYSICS, 64巻, 21号, 掲載ページ 2858-2860, 出版日 1994年05月, 査読付, Pressure-dependent photoluminescence in both ordered and disordered Ga0.5In0.5P is reported. In ordered Ga0.5In0.5P, emissions are observed from both the direct band gap at the Brillouin zone center (GAMMA) and from the indirect band gap involving the conduction band at the X point of the Brillouin zone. The conduction-band minima at X and GAMMA in the ordered phase are found to be lowered in energy by the same amount with respect to those in the disordered phase. Our results support the existence of ordering along the [001] direction in GaInP as proposed recently by Kurtz.

  • PHOTOLUMINESCENCE OF DEEP LEVELS INDUCED BY SUP-PPM H2O IN ALGAAS GROWN BY MOVPE
    K MATSUMOTO; K UCHIDA
    JOURNAL OF CRYSTAL GROWTH, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, 115巻, 1-4号, 掲載ページ 484-489, 出版日 1991年12月, 査読付, A photoluminescence (PL) peak has sometimes been observed at about 100 meV below the band edge emission in MOVPE grown n-AlxGa1-xAs: (Se and Si) (0 less-than-or-equal-to x less-than-or-equal-to 0.3). It was studied in samples grown in the presence of H2O of 30-500 ppb. The deep level emission intensity (I(D)) at 77 K was proportional to the H2O concentration (P(H2O)) in the growth ambient. I(D) decreased as the growth temperature was increased. The oxygen concentrations in the epilayers were measured by a SIMS technique, and tended to follow the variation of I(D), however, the correlation was not direct. The energy position of the peak nearly followed the variation of the GAMMA band as a function of the Al contents. But the peak was not observed for epi-GaAs. The intensity of deep-level emission tended to saturate and its position was shifted towards higher energies as the excitation power density was raised. Our results suggest that this deep-level emission comes from a distant pair transition between a shallow donor and a deep acceptor induced by the presence of sub-ppm H2O in the MOVPE growth ambient.

  • ゲルマニウムナノ結晶の秩序化によるナノクリスタルメモリーの作製
    野崎 眞次; 内田 和男
    日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 電気通信大学, 基盤研究(B), 本研究では、海外共同研究者であるDr.Berbezierとともに集束イオンビーム(FIB)でGaのイオン注入により形成された欠陥の多い部分にのみ選択的にGeが成長することを利用したGeナノ結晶の成長位置の制御およびGeとSiの4%近くの格子不整合による歪みを利用したGeナノ結晶サイズの自己制御を試みた。堆積するGeナノ結晶の位置を決定するために、FIBで形成したシリコン表面の欠陥分布を利用した選択成長を行ったが、FIBで注入したGa残留を除去するために行った熱処理により欠陥分布が不明瞭となり、FIBでイオンを注入したところのみにGeナノ結晶を成長したり、Geナノ結晶層を単層化することは困難であった。そこで、SiO_2をマスクとした選択成長とFIBによる欠陥分布による選択成長の相乗効果を狙ったところGeナノ結晶を整然と並べることに成功した。しかし、Geナノ結晶サイズは、数十nmと大きく、密度もせいぜい10^<10>cm^<-2>オーダーで、ナノクリスタルメモリーのフローティングゲートとして応用するには、更なる改善が望まれた。 一方、電通大では、これまで行ってきた超音速ジェットノズル付ガス中蒸発法により数nmのGeナノ結晶を作製し、それをフローティングゲートのメモリーノードとして利用することを検討した。この方法で堆積したナノ結晶は、何層にも重なりあい、堆積時間を短くすると単層にはなるものの密度が非常に低いものであった。そこで、SiO_2上でGeナノ結晶がある程度重なり合った2から3層程度のものを熱処理することにより、単層化することを見出した。これは、Geナノ結晶同士の結合は弱いが、Geナノ結晶と下地のSiO_2の結合は強いことに着目して、熱処理で、重なり合ったナノ結晶を脱離させSiO_2上のナノ結晶のみを残すという方法である。この奇抜な発想により、単層化した10^<12>cm^<-2>オーダーの高密度のGeナノ結晶をSiO_2上に配列することに成功した。 単層化したGeナノ結晶をフローティングゲートとしたMOSキャパシターを作製し、そのC-V特性より、ナノ結晶への電子注入によるフラットバンド電圧のシフトを確認した。, 14350183

  • ナノ構造半導体デバイスに関する教育・研究交流
    森崎 弘; 小野 洋; 野崎 真次; 内田 和男
    日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 電気通信大学, 基盤研究(B), 本研究では、グリフィス大学のHamson教授(現工学部長)と我々のグループの間で、お互いの大学の研究施設を有効に利用しながら大学院生、教官の参画する、半導体ナノ構造材料・デバイスに関する教育・研究を進めることを目的としている。教育面での交流としては、グリフィス大学大学院学生のJoshua Combes氏を2度にわたって招聘し、電気通信大学において、半導体位置センサー(PSD)の設計に従事してもらった。研究面での交流としては、両大学の研究者が毎年相互に訪問しあって、それぞれの大学の半導体プロセス設備を相補的に使用してナノ構造半導体デバイスの開発に取組んだ。その結果、グリフィス大学のグループが要求するPosition Sensitive Devicesについては、その抵抗体に粒状金属薄膜が使用可能であることが見い出された。また、フォトディテクターにはMOVPE法によるGaInP/GaAsデバイスが有効であることが明らかになった。半導体ナノ構造については、ナノ構造化による相転移を詳しく調べた。その結果、従来見い出されたGeの相転移に加えて、Siでもナノ構造化することによって,通常のダイヤモンド構造ではなく、Wutzite構造をとることを見い出した。Geについては、バルクのGe結晶に10GPa程度までの超高圧を加えて高圧相を発生させ、その安定性を調べた。クラスタービーム蒸発法によって堆積されたGeナノ構造膜は、光酸化によってさらにその粒径を小さく且つ均一にそろえることができる。その結果、室温においてもクーロンブロッケード効果が観測できることを見出した。単電子デバイスの実現の可能性について,グリフィス大学のグループと検討を加えている段階である。, 11695042

  • 酸化シリコンナノポーラス薄膜の低誘電率材料への応用
    内田 和男; 小野 洋
    日本学術振興会, 科学研究費助成事業, 電気通信大学, 基盤研究(C), ガス中蒸発法を用いて低誘電率材料への応用が期待されるSiOx超微粒子薄膜の作製及びその評価を行った。結果として、SiOx超微粒子薄膜の電気容量測定より求めた誘電率は平均で2以下を示した。また全反射X線を用いたこれらサンプルの多孔質度はおよそ90%以上であり、これはサンプルの90%が空孔で形成されていることを示すものであった。またこのような高多孔質材料に不可避な水分の吸着がFTIR測定で確認され、この水分を除去することによりさらに誘電率値を低下させることが可能であることが解った。この水吸着を防止する方法として、HMDS(Hexamethyldisilan)を塗布し疎水処理を施す実験も行った。HMDSの塗布により膜のSi-OH結合は減り、as depo.の膜と比べ更に低いk値が得られた(作製圧力0.5Torrでk=1.4)。asdepo.の膜を真空中で350℃に昇温して測定したk値は膜に吸収された水分の影響が無いために更に低い値を示した(作製圧力0.5Torrでk=1.3)。一方、Arガス中で作製しその後に酸素雰囲気で酸化した膜は基板付近ではSiO_2までは酸化は進んでいないものの、それより表面寄りではほぼSiO_2まで酸化されていた。この膜に含まれるSi-OH結合は少なく大気中においても、HMDSの塗布を行うことなく非常に低いk値を得ることができた(作製圧力0.5Torrでk=1.4)。 本研究によって得られた膜は、材料自体はSiO_2であるため、高温安定性に優れ、絶縁劣化に強いこと、そして従来の酸化膜の集積化方法を大きく変更することがない、安価であるという大きな利点を持っている。, 11650317
