چکیده
Dedication To my parents, Gary and Carol, and to my loving girlfriend Connie. v Acknowledgements I would like to express my gratitude to my supervising, Professor Joe C. Campbell, for showing me the exciting world of nitride-based optoelectronic devices. His wise advice and constant support has been the most important aspect of my research, inspiring all of the work I have accomplished. Joe Campbell cares a great deal for his students, for which I have the up most respect for him. He is a great scientist and I am honored to have been able to work for him and know him as a mentor. I would also like to express my sincere thanks to Professor Russell D. Dupuis, who has provided me with the exceptional nitride crystal growth that has made all this work possible. It has been an honor to work with one of the most respected MOCVD growers in the world.

Migration Enhanced Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition of AlN/GaN/InN based heterostructures
We applied a new Migration Enhanced Metalorganic Chemical Vapor Deposition (MEMOCVD) epitaxial technique for growing AlN/GaN/InN epitaxial films and heterostructure layers on 2”, 3” and 4” substrates. The growth of the AlN/GaN/InN layers was carried out using controlled precursor pulsed flows to achieve accurate thickness control over large area substrates. This technique bridges the gap betwee...

Solar-blind metal–semiconductor–metal (MSM) photodiodes based on MOCVD-grown Al0.6Ga0.4N template have been fabricated and tested. AlGaN detector samples were fabricated using a microwave compatible fabrication process. Optical transmission, current–voltage, spectral responsivity, and temporal pulse response measurements were carried out. The fabricated devices had very low leakage current and ...

Since 1994, the Applied Physics Laboratory has been collaborating with NASA Goddard Space Flight Center to develop photodetectors based on gallium nitride and aluminum gallium nitride material produced in the Milton S. Eisenhower Research and Technology Development Center. This article describes the results of our collaboration and highlights the development of gallium nitride photodetectors wi...
متن کاملHigh-speed solar-blind AlGaN-based metal–semiconductor–metal photodetectors
Solar-blind AlGaN metal–semiconductor–metal (MSM) photodetectors with fast pulse response have been demonstrated. The devices were fabricated on MOCVD-grown epitaxial Al0.38Ga0.62N layers, using a microwave compatible fabrication process. The photodiode samples exhibited low leakage with dark current densities below 1 × 10 A/cm at 40 V reverse bias. Photoconductive gain-assisted photoresponse w...
متن کاملHigh-performance deep ultraviolet photodetectors based on few-layer hexagonal boron nitride.
Hexagonal boron nitride (h-BN), an isomorph of graphene, has attracted great attention owing to its potential applications as an ultra-flat substrate or gate dielectric layer in novel graphene-based devices. Besides, h-BN appears to be a promising material for deep ultraviolet (DUV) optoelectronic applications because of its extraordinary physical properties, such as wide band gap and high abso...
