본 논문에서는 InGaAsP 에피막에서 도핑 농도와 에피막의 미세조직구조가 photoluminescence (PL) 스펙트럼의 위치 및 형상에 어떤 영향을 미치는가를 연구하였고, 그 결과를 설명하기 위해 가능한 모델을 제시하였다. InGaAsP 에피막(발진파장 ~1.3$\mu$m) 을 액상증착법(liquid phase epitaxy, LPE)으로 성장하여 9K에서 PL측정을 했을 때 InGaAsP 활성층 내 Zn 억셉터의 유무에 따라 PL 피크의 위치가 최대 30nm (24meV)까지 shift하고 피크의 선폭도 넓어지는 현사을 발견하였다. 이와같은 피크 분산현상은 inGaAsP 에피막이 유기금속 기상증착법으로 성장되거나 Zn로 고농도로 도핑되거나 고온에서 어닐링 될 경우 대폭 감소하였다. 이를 설명하기 위해 여러 가지 모델을 설정하여 실험을 하였으며 이 중 InGaAsP 에피막의 미세조직구조 특히 Spinodal 분해에 의한 조성이 모듈레이션과 Zn의 상호작용의 관계가 이 현상을 설명하는 데 가장 적절하다는 것을 밝혔다.

We have successfully fabricated high aspect-ratio GaN-based nanowires on Si substrates using molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system for high-efficiency hydrogen generation of photoelectrochemical water splitting. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) demonstrated that p-GaN:Mg and p-InGaN nanowires were grown vertically on the substrate with high density. Furthermore, it was also confirmed that the emission wavelength of p-InGaN nanowire can be adjusted from 552 nm to 590 nm. Such high-aspect ratio p-InGaN nanowire structure will be a solid foundation for the realization of ultrahigh-efficiency photoelectrochemical water splitting through sunlight.

The influence of Zn, Si and Te diffusion on the interdiffusion in $GaAs-Ga_1_-xIN_xAs_1__yP_y$and InP$Ga_1__xIn_xAs_1__yP_y$ heterostructures was studied. The heterostructures were grown by liquid phase epitaxy, and the impurity diffusion into the heterostructures was carried out using metal compound or element sources. The extent of interdiffusion for both group III and V atoms was observed by depth profiling of matrix elements with secondary ion mass spectrometry and Auger electron spectroscopy. Selective enhancement of cation interdiffusion was observed by the concurrent Zn diffusion in both the GaAs based-and InP based-crystals. In contrast to the Zn diffusion, the Si diffusion in the GaAs based-crystal and the Te diffusion in the InP based-crystal enhanced both cation and anion interdiffusion to the same extent. A kick-out mechanism is proposed to explain the selective enhancement of the cation interdiffusion due to Zn, and a single vacancy mechanism is proposed for the interdiffusion due to Si and Te.

This paper presents fully integrated 5 GHz band low phase noise LC tank VCO. The implemented VCO is tuned by integrated PN diode and tuning rage is $5.01{\sim}5.30$ GHz under $0{\sim}3 V$ control voltage. For good phase noise performance, LC filtering technique, common in Si CMOS process, is used, and to prevent degradation of phase noise performance by collector shot-noise and to reduce power dissipation the HBT is biased at low collector current density bias point. The measured phase noise is -87.8 dBc/Hz at 100 kHz offset frequency and -111.4 dBc/Hz at 1 MHz offset frequency which is good performance. Moreover phase noise is improved by roughly 5 dEc by LC filter. It is the first experimental result in InGaP/GaAs HBT process. The figure of merit of the fabricated VCO with LC filter is -172.1 dBc/Hz. It is the best result among 5 GHz InGaP HBT VCOs. Moreover this work shows lower DC power consumption, higher output power and more fixed output power compared with previous 4, 5 GHz band InGaP HBT VCOs.

The electronic structure and magnetic properties of chalcopyrite (CH) AlGaAs2 with dopant Mn at 3.125 and 6.25 % concentrations are investigated using first-principles calculations. The CH AlGaAs2 alloy is a p-type semiconductor with a small band-gap. The AlGaAs2:Mn shows that the ferromagnetic (FM) state is the most energetically favorable one. The Mn-doped AlGaAs2 exhibits FM and strong half-metallic ground states.The spin polarized Al(Ga,Mn)As2 state (Al-rich system) is more stable than the (Al,Mn)GaAs2 state (Ga-rich system), which has a magnetic moment of 3.82mB/Mn. The interaction between Mn-3d and As-4p states at the Fermi level dominates the other states.The states at the Fermi level are mainlyAs-4p electrons, which mediate strong interaction between the Mn-3d and As-4p states. It is noticeable that the FM ordering of dopant Mn with high magnetic moment originates from the As(4p)-Mn(3d)-As(4p) hybridization, which is attributed to the partially unfilled As-4pbands. The high FM moment of Mn is due to the double-exchange mechanism mediated by valence-band holes.

We fabricated the distributed feedback (DFB) InP/InGaAs/InP grating structures on InP (100) substrates by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, and their structural properties were investigated by atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. Self-assembled InAs/InAlGaAs quantum dots (QDs) were grown on the InP/InGaAs/InP grating structures by molecular beam epitaxy, and their optical properties were compared with InAs/InAlGaAs QDs without grating structure. The duty of the grating structures was about 30%. The PL peak position of InAs/InAlGaAs QDs grown on the grating structure was 1605 nm, which was red-shifted by 18 nm from that of the InAs/InAlGaAs QDs without grating structure. This indicates that the formation of InAs/InAlGaAs QDs was affected by the existence of the DFB grating structures.

We compare electroabsorption modulators (EAMs) with multiple quantum wells (MQWs) based on InGaAs(P)/InP and InGa(Al)As/InAlAs material systems. We carefully choose the quantum-well structures so that the structures based on different material systems have similar band-offset energies and excition-peak wavelengths. Assuming the same light wavelength of $1.55{\mu}m$, we show the transfer functions of EAMs with each quantum-well structure and calculate the escape times of photogenerated charge carriers. As the heavy-hole escape time of the quantum well based on InGaAs(P)/InP is much longer than those of photogenerated charge carriers of InGa(Al)As/InAlAs, the EAM based on the InGa(Al)As/InAlAs material seems to be more suitable for high-optical-power operation.
