Boundary conditions in characterizing InxGa1-xAs /GaAs quantum well infrared photodetector

چکیده
We study the optical transition between bound-to-continuum states in InGaAs/GaAs quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP) by analyzing two possible boundary conditions for the continuum states. InGaAs/GaAs QWIP differs from the GaAs/AlGaAs QWIP in many aspects. Comparing running wave function and Bloch wave function with experimental results, we find that Bloch wave function is the much more suitable boundary condition for multiple InGaAs/GaAs quantum well (QW) structure. The blueshift of the responding peak is smaller when the Bloch wave boundary conditions apply.

Very Long Wavelength InxGal . xAs / GaAs Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors
We demonstrate the first long-wavelength (Xc= 20 pm) quantum WN infrared photodetector using non-lattice matched InxGaj-xAs/GaAs materials system. High optical gains (low capture probabilities) were achieved by using GaAs as a barrier material in this system. The dctcctivity has been found to be comparable to those achieved with the usual lattice matched GaAs/AlxGal-XAS detectors.

In this paper a resonant tunnelling quantum well infrared photodetector (RT-QWIP) is discussed. Each period of this photodetector structure comprises of a resonant tunnelling structure (AlAs/AlGaAs/AlAs) nearby a quantum well (AlGaAs/GaAs). In this photodetector, photocurrent is produced when an electron makes a transition from the ground state of the well to an excited state which is coupled t...

Characteristics Study of Modulation Doped GaAs/InxGa1-xAs/AlxGa1-xAs based Pseudomorphic HEMT
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...
