The fabricatoin sequence of GaAs MIS type diode and its electrical characteristics are presented. Used wafers were undoped GaAS wafer adn Te-doped GaAs wafer. Au and AuGe/Ni was used as schottky contact metal and ohmic contact metal respectively. Oxide layer on GaAs surface was formed by water vapor saturated oxide growth technique and dry oxidation technique. In Te-doped GaAs wafer, cutin voltage of MIS type diode was enhanced about 3V comparing with non-oxide layer diode. From light I-V characteristics fill factor of MIS type Te-doped GaAs diode was about 64%, Voc(open circuit voltage) was 0.67V.

It has been well-known that the Fe/GaAs heterostructure has a small lattice mismatch of 1.4% between Fe and GaAs, and the Fe layer is grown epitaxially on the the GaAs substrate. There are rich physics are observed in the GaAs/Fe interface, and the spininjection is actively studied due to its potential applications for spintronics devices. We fabricated Fe wedge layer in the thickness range $0{\sim}3.4$ nm on the GaAs(100) surface with 5-nm thick Au capping layer. The magnetic anisotropy of the Fe/GaAs system was investigated by employing Brillouin light scattering(BLS) measurements in this study. The spin wave excitation of Fe layer was studied as the function of intensity and the in-plane angle of external magnetic field, and thickness of Fe layer. Also these various dependences were analyzed with analytic expression of spin wave surface mode in order to determine the magnetic anisotropies. It has been found that the GaAs/Fe/Au system has additional uniaxial magnetic anisotropy, while the bulk Fe has biaxial anisotropy. The uniaxial anisotropy shows increasing dependency respected to decreasing thickness of Fe layer while biaxial anisotropy is reduced with Fe film thickness. This result allows the analysis that the uniaxial anisotropy is originated from interface between GaAs surface and Fe layer.

Auger depth profiles of various In Ga As P/In P heterojunctions grown by liquid phase epitaxial techniques under different growth conditions such as diffusion temperature, diffusion time and dopants, have been obtained. The surface contaminations of In Ga As have been investigated. We found that the samples with Zn diffusion exhibit significant interface grading phenomena including In depletion, Ga richness and P richness at the In Ga As P/In P interface, and In outdiffusion at the surface. The main surface contamination was found to be due to carbon and oxygen species. It can be suggested that Zn gettering takes a major role in such phenomena as interface grading, in depletion, and Ga and P richness at the interface.

In this paper, we present a review of optical and structural studies of $GaBi_xAs_{1-x}$ epilayers grown by Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) on (311)B and (001) GaAs substrates with different As fluxes. The results indicate that under near-stoichiometric conditions the bismuth incorporation is higher for samples grown on (311)B GaAs substrates than for those grown on (001) GaAs. In addition, carrier localization effects in GaBiAs layers are clearly revealed for both samples by optical measurements. The (311)B samples showed evidence of higher density of defects. It has also been found that the nonradiative centers play a significant role in the recombination process in this material system. The influence of post-growth annealing on the microstructural, optical, and magneto-optical properties was also investigated. An important improvement of optical and spin properties after thermal annealing due to the reduction of defects in the GaBiAs layers was observed.

In this paper, we report THz generation and detection characteristics investigated by InGaAs semiconductor epilayers, as results of a basic study obtained from the InGaAs-based THz transmitter/receiver (Tx/Rx). High-temperature and low-temperature (LT) grown InGaAs epilayers were prepared by the molecular beam epitaxy technique for the characterization of THz generation and detection, respectively, and the surface emission based on the photo-Dember effect was tried for THz generation. THz wave was generated by irradiation of a Ti:Sapphire fs pulse laser (60 ps/83 MHz), and a LT-GaAs Rx was used for the THz detection. The frequency band shown in the spectral amplitudes Fourier-transformed from the measured current signals was ranging in 0.5~2 THz, and the signal currents were exponentially increased with the Tx beam power. The THz detection characteristics of LT-InGaAs were investigated by using an Rx with dipole (5/20 ${\mu}m$) antenna, and the cutoff frequency was ~2 THz.

The effect of the surface state on the quantum efficiency of underlying GaAs/AlGaAs multi-quantum well(MQW) structures consisting of three GaAs quantum wells with different thickness, is studied by low temperature photoluminescence(PL). The structure was grown by molecular beam epitaxy(MBE) on (100) GaAs substrate. The thickness of three GaAs quantum wells was 3, 6 and 9 nm, respectively. The MQWs were placed apart from 50 nm AlGaAs edge-barriers including two inner-barriers with 15 nm in thickness. The samples used in this study were prepared with different growth temperatures. Particularly, the hydrogen passivation effect to the 9 nm quantum well located at near surface appeared much stronger than any others. Transition energy and optical gain related to the hydrogen passivation effects on the multi-quantum well structure was calculated by transfer matrix method.

Due to the large conduction band discontinuity between emitter base, OmGaAs HBT has an advantge to enable the hot electrons to inject into the base. In this paper, InAlGaAs/InGaAs HBT with the various emitter junction gradings and the modified collectors are simulated and analyzed by HMC(hybrid monte carlo) simulator in order to find a optimal structure for the shortest transit time. A minium base transit time (.tau.$_{b}$ ) of 0.21 ps was obtained for HBT with the grading layer, which is parabolically graded from x=1.0 to x=0.5. The minimum collector transit time (.tau.$_{c}$ ) of 0.31ps was found when the collector was modified by inserting p$^{[-10]}$ and p$^{+}$ layers. Thus HBT in combination with the emitter grading and the modified collector layer showed the cut-off frequency (f$_{T}$) of 183GHz.z.z.

In order to investigate the improvements of relatively poor characteristics of short wave length AlGaAs/GaAs laser diodes which are useful as a light source for short distance communication systems, the low temperature $(<680^{\circ}C)$ grown AlGaAs/GaAs GRINSCH-QW laser diodes by molecular beam epitaxy have been studied by photoluminescence as a function of rapid thermal annealing (RTA) temperature. It is shown that guantum well photoluminescence intensity increased substantially by a factor of 10 after RAT at $950^{\circ}C$ for 10 sec. This is related to the reduction of non-radiative recombination in the guantum well region. The threshold current of annealed laser diode is reduced by a factor, of 4, confirming the improvement of laser diode quality by rapid thermal annealing.
