14.	Reliable GaN-based resonant tunneling diodes with reproducible room-temperature negative differential resistance C. Bayram, D.K. Sadana, Z. Vashaei and M. Razeghi SPIE Proceedings, Vol. 8268, p. 826827-- January 22, 2012 ...[Visit Journal] negative differential resistance (NDR). Compared to other negative resistance devices such as (Esaki) tunnel and transferred-electron devices, RTDs operate much faster and at higher temperatures. III-nitride materials, composed of AlGaInN alloys, have wide bandgap, high carrier mobility and thermal stability; making them ideal for high power high frequency RTDs. Moreover, larger conduction band discontinuity promise higher NDR than other materials (such as GaAs) and room-temperature operation. However, earlier efforts on GaN-based RTD structures have failed to achieve a reliable and reproducible NDR. Recently, we have demonstrated for the first time that minimizing dislocation density and eliminating the piezoelectric fields enable reliable and reproducible NDR in GaN-based RTDs even at room temperature. Observation of NDR under both forward and reverse bias as well as at room and low temperatures attribute the NDR behaviour to quantum tunneling. This demonstration marks an important milestone in exploring III-nitride quantum devices, and will pave the way towards fundamental quantum transport studies as well as for high frequency optoelectronic devices such as terahertz emitters based on oscillators and cascading structures.

Phys. 15 March 1986; 59 (6): 2261–2263-- March 15, 1986 ...[Visit Journal] Ga0.47In0.53As‐InP multiquantum wells grown by low‐pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on garnet (GGG=Gd3Ga5O12 with a=12.383 Å) substrates are presented for the first time. The x‐ray diffraction pattern shows that the orientation of the epitaxial layer is (111) while the underlying substrate orientation is (100). The photoluminescence at 77 K is due to the GaInAs layers. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Development of material quality and structural design for high performance type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes and focal plane arrays M. Razeghi, B.M. Nguyen, D. Hoffman, P.Y. Delaunay, E.K. Huang, M.Z. Tidrow and V. Nathan SPIE Porceedings, Vol. 7082, San Diego, CA 2008, p. 708204-- August 11, 2008 ...[Visit Journal] Recent progress made in the structure design, growth and processing of Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photo-detectors lifted both the quantum efficiency and the R0A product of the detectors. Type-II superlattice demonstrated its ability to perform imaging in the Mid-Wave Infrared (MWIR)and Long-Wave Infrared (LWIR) ranges, becoming a potential competitor for technologies such as Quantum Well Infrared Photo-detectors (QWIP) and Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT). Using an empirical tight-binding model, we developed superlattices designs that were nearly lattice-matched to the GaSb substrates and presented cutoff wavelengths of 5 and 11 μm. We demonstrated high quality material growth with X-ray FWHM below 30 arcsec and an AFM rms roughness of 1.5 Å over an area of 20x20 μm2. The detectors with a 5 μm cutoff, capable of operating at room temperature, showed a R0A of 1.25 106 Ω.cm2 at 77K, and a quantum efficiency of 32%. In the long wavelength infrared, we demonstrated high quantum efficiencies above 50% with high R0A products of 12 Ω.cm2 by increasing the thickness of the active region. Using the novel M-structure superlattice design, more than one order of magnitude improvement has been observed for electrical performance of the devices. Focal plane arrays in the middle and long infrared range, hybridized to an Indigo read out integrated circuit, exhibited high quality imaging. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Gas-Source Molecular Beam Epitaxy Growth of 8.5 μm Quantum Cascade Laser S. Slivken, C. Jelen, A. Rybaltowski, J. Diaz and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 71 (18)-- November 1, 1997 ...[Visit Journal] We demonstrate preliminary results for an 8.5 μm laser emission from quantum cascade lasers grown in a single step by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy. 70 mW peak power per two facets is recorded for all devices tested at 79 K with 1 μs pulses at 200 Hz.

14.	Room temperature continuous wave operation of quantum cascade lasers with watt-level optical power Y. Bai, S.R. Darvish, S. Slivken, W. Zhang, A. Evans, J. Nguyen and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 92, No. 10, p. 101105-1-- March 10, 2008 ...[Visit Journal] We demonstrate quantum cascade lasers at an emitting wavelength of 4.6 µm, which are capable of room temperature, high power continuous wave (cw) operation. Buried ridge geometry with a width of 9.8 µm was utilized. A device with a 3 mm cavity length that was epilayer-down bonded on a diamond submount exhibited a maximum output power of 1.3 W at room temperature in cw operation. The maximum output power at 80 K was measured to be 4 W, with a wall plug efficiency of 27%. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Fabrication of Indium Bumps for Hybrid Infrared Focal Plane Array Applications J. Jiang, S. Tsao, T. O'Sullivan, M. Razeghi, and G.J. Brown Infrared Physics and Technology, 45 (2)-- March 1, 2004 ...[Visit Journal] Hybrid infrared focal plane arrays (FPAs) have found many applications. In hybrid IR FPAs, FPA and Si read out integrated circuits (ROICs) are bonded together with indium bumps by flip-chip bonding. Taller and higher uniformity indium bumps are always being pursued in FPA fabrication. In this paper, two indium bump fabrication processes based on evaporation and electroplating techniques are developed. Issues related to each fabrication technique are addressed in detail. The evaporation technique is based on a unique positive lithography process. The electroplating method achieves taller indium bumps with a high aspect ratio by a unique “multi-stack” technique. This technique could potentially benefit the fabrication of multi-color FPAs. Finally, a proposed low-cost indium bump fabrication technique, the “bump transfer”, is given as a future technology for hybrid IR FPA fabrication. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Long-Wavelength InAsSb Photoconductors Operated at Near Room Temperatures (200-300 K) J.D. Kim, D. Wu, J. Wojkowski, J. Piotrowski, J. Xu, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters., 68 (1),-- January 1, 1996 ...[Visit Journal] Long-wavelength InAs_1−xSb_x photoconductors operated without cryogenic cooling are reported. The devices are based on p-InAs_1−xSb_x/p-InSb heterostructures grown on (100) semi-insulating GaAs substrates by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (LP‐MOCVD). Photoreponse up to 14 μm has been obtained in a sample with x=0.77 at 300 K, which is in good agreement with the measured infrared absorption spectra. The corresponding effective lifetime of ≊0.14 ns at 300 K has been derived from stationary photoconductivity. The Johnson noise limited detectivity at λ=10.6 μm is estimated to be about 3.27×10⁷ cm· Hz^½/W at 300 K. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Room temperature terahertz quantum cascade laser sources with 215 μW output power through epilayer-down mounting Q. Y. Lu, N. Bandyopadhyay, S. Slivken, Y. Bai, and M. Razeghi Appl. Phys. Lett. 103, 011101 (2013)-- July 1, 2013 ...[Visit Journal] We report room temperature terahertz (THz) quantum cascade laser sources with high power based on difference frequency generation. The device is Čerenkov phase matched and spectrally purified with an integrated dual-period distributed-feedback grating. Symmetric current injection and epilayer-down mounting of the device onto a patterned submount are used to improve the electrical uniformity and heat removal, respectively. The epilayer-down mounting also allows for THz anti-reflective coating to enhance the THz outcoupling efficiency. Single mode emission at 3.5 THz with a side-mode suppression ratio and output power up to 30 dB and 215 μW are obtained, respectively. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Minority electron unipolar photodetectors based on Type-II InAs/GaSb/AlSb superlattices for very long wavelength infrared detection B.M. Nguyen, S. Bogdanov, S. Abdollahi Pour, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 95, No. 18, p. 183502-- November 2, 2009 ...[Visit Journal] We present a hybrid photodetector design that inherits the advantages of traditional photoconductive and photovoltaic devices. The structure consists of a barrier layer blocking the transport of majority holes in a p-type semiconductor, resulting in an electrical transport due to minority carriers with low current density. By using the M-structure superlattice as a barrier region, the band alignments can be experimentally controlled, allowing for the efficient extraction of the photosignal with less than 50 mV bias. At 77 K, a 14 µm cutoff detector exhibits a dark current 3.3 mA·cm⁻², a photoresponsivity of 1.4 A/W, and the associated shot noise detectivity of 4×10¹⁰ Jones. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Semiconductor ultraviolet detectors M. Razeghi and A. Rogalski Journal of Applied Physics Applied Physics Review 79 (10)-- May 15, 1996 ...[Visit Journal] In this review article a comprehensive analysis of the developments in ultraviolet (UV) detector technology is described. At the beginning, the classification of UV detectors and general requirements imposed on these detectors are presented. Further considerations are restricted to modern semiconductor UV detectors, so the basic theory of photoconductive and photovoltaic detectors is presented in a uniform way convenient for various detector materials. Next, the current state of the art of different types of semiconductor UV detectors is presented. Hitherto, the semiconductor UV detectors have been mainly fabricated using Si. Industries such as the aerospace, automotive, petroleum, and others have continuously provided the impetus pushing the development of fringe technologies which are tolerant of increasingly high temperatures and hostile environments. As a result, the main efforts are currently directed to a new generation of UV detectors fabricated from wide band-gap semiconductors the most promising of which are diamond and AlGaN. The latest progress in development of AlGaN UV detectors is finally described in detail. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Highly Conductive Co-Doped Ga2O3Si-In Grown by MOCVD Junhee Lee, Honghyuk Kim, Lakshay Gautam and Manijeh Razeghi Coatings 2021, 11(3), 287; https://doi.org/10.3390/coatings11030287 ...[Visit Journal] We report a highly conductive gallium oxide doped with both silicon and indium grown on c-plane sapphire substrate by MOCVD. From a superlattice structure of indium oxide and gallium oxide doped with silicon, we obtained a highly conductive material with an electron hall mobility up to 150 cm2/V·s with the carrier concentration near 2 × 1017 cm−3. However, if not doped with silicon, both Ga2O3:In and Ga2O3 are highly resistive. Optical and structural characterization techniques such as X-ray, transmission electron microscope, and photoluminescence, reveal no significant incorporation of indium into the superlattice materials, which suggests the indium plays a role of a surfactant passivating electron trapping defect levels.

14.	Comparison of type-II superlattice and HgCdTe infrared detector technologies Jagmohan Bajaj; Gerry Sullivan; Don Lee; Ed Aifer; Manijeh Razeghi Proc. SPIE 6542, Infrared Technology and Applications XXXIII, 65420B (May 14, 2007)-- May 14, 2007 ...[Visit Journal] Performance of HgCdTe detector technology surpasses all others in the mid-wave and long-wave infrared spectrum. This technology is relatively mature with current effort focused on improving uniformity, and demonstrating increased focal plane array (FPA) functionality. Type-II superlattice (InAs-GaSb and related alloys) detector technology has seen rapid progress over the past few years. The merits of the superlattice material system rest on predictions of even higher performance than HgCdTe and of engineering advantages. While no one has demonstrated Type-II superlattice detectors with performance superior to HgCdTe detectors, the difference in performance between these two technologies is decreasing. In this paper, we review the status and highlight relative merits of both HgCdTe and Type-II superlattice based detector technologies. [reprint (PDF)]

Nicholas, M. A. Brummell, M. Razeghi, M. A. Poisson; High magnetic field studies of the two‐dimensional electron gas in GaInAs‐InP superlattices. Appl. Phys. Lett. 1 August 1983; 43 (3): 293–295.-- August 1, 1983 ...[Visit Journal] We report the observation of Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations in superlattices of GaInAs and InP, showing evidence of two‐dimensional behavior. The electron g‐factor is deduced from both the criteria for resolution of a spin splitting by comparison with the broadening parameter Γ, and from the tilted field method, and is shown to increase with increasing resolution of the Landau levels in a manner consistent with the theory of Ando and Uemura. In the ultraquantum limit, structure at ν=1/2 and ν=1/3 is observed. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	High-power high-wall plug efficiency mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers based on InP/GaInAs/InAlAs material system M. Razeghi SPIE Proceedings, San Jose, CA Volume 7230-11-- January 26, 2009 ...[Visit Journal] The latest result at the Center for Quantum Devices about high power, high wall plug efficiency, mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) is presented. At an emitting wavelength of 4.8 µm, an output power of 3.4 W and a wall plug efficiency of 16.5% are demonstrated from a single device operating in continuous wave at room temperature. At a longer wavelength of 10.2 µm, average power as high as 2.2 W is demonstrated at room temperature. Gas-source molecular beam epitaxy is used to grow the QCL core in an InP/GaInAs/InAlAs material system. Fe-doped semiinsulating regrowth is performed by metal organic chemical vapor deposition for efficient heat removal and low waveguide loss. This accomplishment marks an important milestone in the development of high performance midinfrared QCLs. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	High Power, Continuous-Wave, Quantum Cascade Lasers for MWIR and LWIR Applications S. Slivken, A. Evans, J.S. Yu, S.R. Darvish and M. Razeghi SPIE Conference, San Jose, CA, Vol. 6127, pp. 612703-- January 23, 2006 ...[Visit Journal] Over the past several years, our group has endeavored to develop high power quantum cascade lasers for a variety of remote and high sensitivity infrared applications. The systematic optimization of laser performance has allowed for demonstration of high power, continuous-wave quantum cascade lasers operating above room temperature. Since 2002, the power levels for individual devices have jumped from 20 mW to 600 mW. Expanding on this development, we have able to demonstrate continuous wave operation at many wavelengths throughout the mid- and far-infrared spectral range, and have now achieved >100 mW output in the 4.0 to 9.5 µm range.

14.	1-5 jim ROOM-TEMPERATURE PULSED OPERATION OF GalnAsP/lnP DOUBLE HETEROSTRUCTURE GROWN BY LP MOCVD Manijeh Razeghi, P. Hirtz, J.P. Larivain, R. Blondeau, B. de Crémoux, J.P. Duchemin, ELECTRONICS LETTERS, vol. 17, no.18-- September 3, 1981 ...[Visit Journal] The letter reports the first successful room-temperature pulsed operation of a broad-area contact laser of GaInAsP/InP double heterostructure, grown by LP MOCVD, emitting at 1.5 μm. Pulsed thresholds as low as 2.5 kA/cm2 have been obtained for 1.5 μm, for an active layer thickness of 0.48 μm. This is equal to a current density per micrometre of 5.2 kA cm−2 μm−1. InxGa1−xAsyP1−y, III, III, V, V alloys are of great interest for use in infra-red devices. They can be grown lattice matched on InP over a wide range of compositions. The resulting bandgap (1.35–0.75 eV) covers a spectral range which contains the region of lowest losses and lowest dispersion in modern optical fibres. This property makes In1−xGaxASyP1−y, very attractive as a semiconductor laser and detector material for future fibre communication systems. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition of high quality AlN and GaN thin films on sapphire and silicon substrates P. Kung, X. Zhang, E. Bigan, and M. Razeghi Optoelectronic Integrated Circuit Materials, Physics and Devices, SPIE Conference, San Jose, CA; Proceedings, Vol. 2397-- February 6, 1995 ...[Visit Journal] High quality AlN and GaN epilayers have been grown on basal plane sapphire by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The X-ray rocking curve linewidth of the AlN and GaN films were about 100 and 30 arcsecs respectively. Sharp absorption edges were determined at 6.1 and 3.4 eV respectively. Successful donor-bound excitonic luminescence emissions were detected for GaN films grown on sapphire and silicon. Two additional lines at 3.37 and 3.31 eV were observed on GaN on sapphire and assumed to be impurity-related. Doping of GaN layers was achieved with magnesium. Mg-related photoluminescence emissions were successfully detected on as-grown samples, without any post-growth treatment. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Bias-selectable dual-band mid-/long-wavelength infrared photodetectors based on InAs/InAs_1−xSb_x type-II superlattices A. Haddadi, R. Chevallier, G. Chen, A. M. Hoang, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 106 , 011104-- January 8, 2015 ...[Visit Journal] A high performance bias-selectable mid-/long-wavelength infrared photodetector based on InAs/InAs_1−xSb_x type-II superlattices on GaSb substrate has been demonstrated. The mid- and long-wavelength channels' 50% cut-off wavelengths were ∼5.1 and ∼9.5 μm at 77 K. The mid-wavelength channel exhibited a quantum efficiency of 45% at 100 mV bias voltage under front-side illumination and without any anti-reflection coating. With a dark current density of 1 × 10⁻⁷ A/cm² under 100 mV applied bias, the mid-wavelength channel exhibited a specific detectivity of 8.2 × 10¹² cm·Hz^½·W^-1 at 77 K. The long-wavelength channel exhibited a quantum efficiency of 40%, a dark current density of 5.7 × 10⁻⁴ A/cm² under −150 mV applied bias at 77 K, providing a specific detectivity value of 1.64 × 10¹¹ cm·Hz^½·W^-1.

14.	Aluminum free GaInP/GaAs Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors for Long Wavelength Detection C. Jelen, S. Slivken, J. Hoff, M. Razeghi, and G. Brown Applied Physics Letters 70 (3)-- January 20, 1997 ...[Visit Journal] We demonstrate quantum well infrared photodetectors based on a GaAs/Ga_0.51In_0.49P superlattice structure grown by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy. Wafers were grown with varying well widths. Wells of 40, 65, and 75 Å resulted in peak detection wavelengths of 10.4, 12.8, and 13.3 μm with a cutoff wavelength of 13.5, 15, and 15.5 μm, respectively. The measured peak and cutoff wavelengths match those predicted by eight band theoretical analysis. Measured dark currents were lower than equivalent GaAs/AlGaAs samples. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Finite-Size Scaling in the Dissipative Transport Regime Between Quantum Hall Plateaus Razeghi M., S. Koch, R.J. Hang, K.V. Klitzing, K. Ploog Koch, S., Haug, R.J., v. Klitzing, K., Ploog, K., Razeghi, M. (1992). Finite-Size Scaling in the Dissipative Transport Regime Between Quantum Hall Plateaus. In: Bauer, G., Kuchar, F., Heinrich, H. (eds) Low-Dimensional Electronic Systems. Springer Series in Solid-State Sciences, vol 111. Springer, Berlin, Heidelberg.-- January 1, 1993 ...[Visit Journal] The magnetoresistance of a two-dimensional electron gas shows a novel scaling behaviour in the dissipative transport regime between adjacent integer quantum Hall plateaus when studied in samples of different size. At low temperatures (≥ 25mK) the phase coherence length L in may exceed the size W of small samples (W ≥ 8µm). Under these conditions the width ΔB of the magnetic field region where dissipative transport is observed becomes independent of temperature. Then ΔB only depends on the size of the sample and increases with decreasing size. Thus the critical exponent v of the localization length ξ ∝ (ΔB)−v can be determined directly. The resulting exponent v = 2.3±0.1 does not depend on the specific sample and, furthermore, is independent of the (spin-resolved) Landau level. This experimental result agrees with the predictions of several theoretical approaches to the metal-insulator transition in the quantum Hall regime. The effect described occurs both in Hall bars and in Corbino geometries, with essentially identical results. On the other hand, in a Landau level where spin-splitting is not resolved, a considerably larger value of v = 6.5 ± 0.6 is observed for the localization length exponent. [reprint (PDF)]

Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 88 (4)-- January 23, 2006 ...[Visit Journal] High-power cw λ~4 μm quantum-cascade lasers (QCLs) are demonstrated. The effect of different cavity length and laser die bonding is also investigated. For a high-reflectivity-coated 11-μm-wide and 4-mm-long epilayer-down bonded QCL, cw output powers as high as 1.6 W at 80 K and 160 mW at 298 K are obtained, and the cw operation is achieved up to 313 K with 12 mW.

14.	Photoluminescence characteristics of polar and nonpolar AlGaN/GaN superlattices Z. Vashaei, C. Bayram, P. Lavenus, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 97, No. 12, p. 121918-1-- September 20, 2010 ...[Visit Journal] High quality Al_0.2Ga_0.8N/GaN superlattices (SLs) with various (GaN) well widths (1.6 to 6.4 nm) have been grown on polar c-plane and nonpolar m-plane freestanding GaN substrates by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. Atomic force microscopy, high resolution x-ray diffraction, and photoluminescence (PL) studies of SLs have been carried out to determine and correlate effects of well width and polarization field on the room-temperature PL characteristics. A theoretical model was applied to explain PL energy-dependency on well width and crystalline orientation taking into account internal electric field for polar substrate. Absence of induced-internal electric field in nonpolar SLs was confirmed by stable PL peak energy and stronger PL intensity as a function of excitation power density than polar ones. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Dark current reduction in microjunction-based compound electron barrier type-II InAs/InAs1-xSbx superlattice-based long-wavelength infrared photodetectors Romain Chevallier, Abbas Haddadi, Manijeh Razeghi Proc. SPIE 10540, Quantum Sensing and Nano Electronics and Photonics XV Page. 1054007-1-- January 26, 2018 ...[Visit Journal] Reduction of dark current density in microjunction-based InAs/InAs_1-xSb_x type-II superlattice long-wavelength infrared photodetectors was demonstrated. A double electron barrier design was used to suppress both generation-recombination and surface dark currents. The photodetectors exhibited high surface resistivity after passivation with SiO₂, which permits the use of small size features without having strong surface leakage current degrading the electrical performance. Fabricating a microjunction structure (25×25 μm² mesas with 10×10 μm² microjunctions) with this photodetector double barrier design results in a dark current density of 6.3×10^-6 A/cm² at 77 K. The device has an 8 μm cut-off wavelength at 77 K and exhibits a quantum efficiency of 31% for a 2 μm-thick absorption region, which results in a specific detectivity value of 1.2×10¹² cm·Hz^1/2/W at 77 K.

14.	Type-II superlattice dual-band LWIR imager with M-barrier and Fabry-Perot resonance E.K. Huang, A. Haddadi, G. Chen, B.M. Nguyen, M.A. Hoang, R. McClintock, M. Stegall, and M. Razeghi OSA Optics Letters, Vol. 36, No. 13, p. 2560-2562-- July 1, 2011 ...[Visit Journal] We report a high performance long-wavelength IR dual-band imager based on type-II superlattices with 100% cutoff wavelengths at 9.5 μm (blue channel) and 13 μm (red channel). Test pixels reveal background-limited behavior with specific detectivities as high as ∼5×10¹¹ Jones at 7.9 μm in the blue channel and ∼1×10¹¹ Jones at 10.2 μm in the red channel at 77 K. These performances were attributed to low dark currents thanks to the M-barrier and Fabry–Perot enhanced quantum efficiencies despite using thin 2 μm absorbing regions. In the imager, the high signal-to-noise ratio contributed to median noise equivalent temperature differences of ∼20 mK for both channels with integration times on the order of 0.5 ms, making it suitable for high speed applications.

Zhang, A. Rybaltowski, Y. Xiao, H.J. Yi and J. Diaz SPIE Conference, San Jose, CA, Vol. 3284, pp. 113-- January 28, 1998 ...[Visit Journal] Continuous-wave (CW) room temperature operation of InGaN/GaN multi-quantum well (MQW) lasers is reported. Far-field beam divergence as narrow as 13 degrees and 20 degrees for parallel and perpendicular directions to epilayer planes were measured, respectively. The MQW lasers showed strong beam polarization anisotropy as consistent with QW laser gain theory. Dependencies of threshold current on cavity-length and temperature are also consistent with conventional laser theory. No significant degradation in laser characteristics was observed during lifetime testing for over 140 hours of CW room temperature operation. [reprint (PDF)]
