An elastic model for the In–In correlations in InxGa1−xAs semiconductor alloys
نویسندگان
چکیده
Deviations from randomicity in InxGa1−xAs semiconductor alloys induced by elastic effects are investigated within the Keating potential. Our model is based on Monte Carlo simulations on large (4096 atoms) supercells, performed with two types of boundary conditions: Fully periodic boundary conditions represent the bulk, while periodic boundary conditions along the x and y directions and a free surface in the z direction simulate the epitaxial growth environment. We show that In–In correlations identified in the bulk tend to be enhanced in the epitaxially grown samples.

Local structure of random InxGa1 xAs alloys by full-profile fitting of atomic pair distribution functions
The local structure of random InxGa1 xAs alloys has been refined by fitting experimental high-resolution atomic pair distribution functions with the 8-atom unit cell of the zinc-blende lattice. Both metal and As atoms have been allowed to move off their ideal positions and so the local structural disorder due to the presence of two distinct bond lengths, Ga–As and In–As, has been quantified. It...

The High Electron Mobility Transistor (HEMT) is a small geometry hetero-junction device that exploits the high electron mobility in an undoped region to achieve high speed operation. Hetero-junction is used to create a narrow undoped electron well which forms the channel for current flow. The electron mobility in the channel is found to be maximum due to the adequate presence of Indium quantity...

X-ray standing wave measurements were used to study the strain in one monolayer of pseudobinary alloy InxGa1!xAs buried in GaAs!001" by molecular-beam epitaxy. The measured In position along the #001$ direction exhibited a nearly linear dependence on the In concentration x, thus supporting the validity of macroscopic continuum elasticity theory at the one-monolayer limit. A random-cluster calcu...

The electron mobility in Al2O3/InxGa1−xAs (x = 0.53, 0.65, or 0.75) metal–oxide–semiconductor field-effect transistors was analyzed for scattering by oxide charge, as well as interface charge and roughness, and compared with measured transfer characteristics from depletion to inversion. The analysis showed that, under strong inversion, the electron mobility was mainly limited by interface rough...
