Improved Ingaas Metal-semiconductor-metal Oe Mixers Using Submicron Schottky Contacts
نویسندگان
چکیده
InGaAs-based Metal Semiconductor Metal (MSM) Photodetectors were fabricated and tested as photodetectors and Opto-electronic mixers. A comparison of various processing schemes for MSM InAlAs/InGaAs photodetectors on InP substrates was conducted to minimize the dark current. InAlAs Schottky Enhanced Layers (SEL) was employed on the InGaAs-based MSMs to enhance the barrier height to reduce the dark current. The effect of SEL thickness on the performance of OE mixer was studied. The experimental results were compared to those simulated with CFDRC software.

A105Ga05Sb/GaSb meta1semiconductor-meta1 (MSM) detectors have been prepared on semi-insulating InP substrates. The molecular beam epitaxially grown samples on differently oriented substrates exhibit different types of conductivity. The Schottky barrier height between Al and Al0 5Ga05Sb grown on (311)B oriented substrates is 0.6 eV, while the Al contacts on (100) sample exhibit ohmic behavior. T...

Complete suppression of the native n-type Schottky barrier is demonstrated in Al/InGaAs(001) junctions grown by molecular-beam-epitaxy. This result was achieved by the insertion of Si bilayers at the metal-semiconductor interface allowing the realization of truly Ohmic non-alloyed contacts in lowdoped and low-In content InGaAs/Si/Al junctions. It is shown that this technique is ideally suited f...
