Effectively exciting plasmonic resonance by supplemental gates for terahertz photodetection in a grating gated field- effect transistor
An alternative-grating gated AlGaN/GaN field-effect transistor (FET) is proposed by considering the slit regions to be covered by a highly doped semiconductor acting as supplemental gates. The plasmonic resonant absorption spectra are studied at THz frequencies using the FDTD method. The simulated results show that the 2DEGs, under supplemental gates, modulated by a positive voltage, can make t...
متن کاملMonte Carlo simulation of terahertz quantum cascade laser structures based on wide-bandgap semiconductors
Wide-bandgap semiconductors such as GaN /AlGaN and ZnO /MgZnO quantum wells are promising for improving the spectral reach and high-temperature performance of terahertz quantum cascade lasers, due to their characteristically large optical phonon energies. Here, a particle-based Monte Carlo model is developed and used to quantify the potential of terahertz sources based on these materials relati...
متن کاملModeling of High Temperature GaN Quantum Dot Infrared Photodetectors
In this paper, we present calculations for different parameters of quantum dot infrared photodetectors. We considered a structure which includes quantum dots with large conduction-band-offset materials (GaN/AlGaN). Single band effective mass approximation has been applied in order to calculate the electronic structure. Throughout the modeling, we tried to consider the limiting factors which dec...
متن کاملIn-Situ Characterization of the Evolution of Defects in AlGaN/GaN HEMTs in the On-state and Off-state condition
Nitride semiconductors offer many unique and beneficial properties for new generation electronic devices [1]. GaN-based HEMTs are contenders for replace existing Si and GaAs devices in high-power RF applications. AlGaN/GaN High Election Mobility Transistors (HEMTs) are devices designed for applications where high-power and high-frequency devices are needed. AlGaN/GaN HEMTs take advantage of a t...
متن کاملQuantitative analysis of the trapping effect on terahertz AlGaN/GaN resonant tunneling diode
We report on a simulation for terahertz aluminum gallium nitride (AlGaN)/gallium nitride (GaN) resonant tunneling diode (RTD) at room temperature by introducing deep-level defects into the polarized AlGaN/GaN/AlGaN quantum well. Results show that an evident degradation in negative-differential-resistance characteristic of RTD occurs when the defect density is higher than 10 cm , which is consis...
