  • The origin of the inhomogeneous distribution of photoluminescence (PL) peak wavelength on a commercial 2" GaN wafer for green light emitting diode has been investigated by wide momentum transfer (Q) range x-ray diffraction (XRD) profile of InGaN/GaN multiple quantum wells. Near the GaN (0004) Bragg peak, wide-Q range XRD (${\Delta}Q$ > $1.4{\AA}-1$) was measured along the growth direction. Wide-Q XRD gives precise and direct information of ultra-thin InGaN quantum well structure. Based on the QW structural information, the variation of PL spectra can be explained by the combined effect of temperature gradient and slightly uneven flow of atomic sources during the QW growth. In narrow variations of indium composition and thickness of QW, an effective indium composition can be a good character to match structural data to PL spectra.

  • We propose a modulation scheme of optical absorption in a coupled asymmetric quantum well (QW) structure via electrically controllable quantum interference. It is based on the parallel-perpendicular energy coupling effect. We show that by applying an external electric Held in the parallel direction (to the QW layers), we can obtain a maximum (peak-type) absorption at a specific wavelength where absorption cancellation would occur due to electrically induced transparency without such an external Held .

  • In the area of optoelectronic devices based on GaN and related ternary compounds, the two-dimensional system like as quantum wells (QWs) has been investigated as an effective structure for improving the light-emitting efficiency. Generally, the quantum well active regions in III-nitride light-emitting diodes grown on conventional c-plane sapphire substrates have critical problems given by the quantum confined Stark effect (QCSE) due to the effects of strong piezoelectric and spontaneous polarizations. However, the QWs grown on nonpolar templates are free from the QCSE since the polar-axis lies within the growth plane of the template. Also the unique characteristic of linear polarized light emission from nonpolar QW structures is attracting attentions because it is proper to the application of back-light units of liquid crystal display. In this study, we characterized optical properties of the a-plane InGaN/GaN QW structures by temperature-dependent photoluminescence (TDPL) measurements. From the photoluminescence (PL) spectrum measured at 300 K, green emission centered at 520 nm was observed for the QW region. Since indium incorporation on nonpolar QWs is lower than that on c-plane, this high indium-doping on a-plane InGaN QWs is not common. Therefore, the effect of high indium composition on optical properties in a-plane InGaN QWs will be extensively studied.

  • GaInP/GaAs 양자우물(quantum well)구조를 N-AlGaInP/p-GaInP 이종 접합구조 태양전지에 도입하여 그 특성을 조사하고 양자우물구조가 없는 태양전지와 비교하였다. 에피층은 (100)평면이 (111)A 방향으로 $6^{\circ}$ 기울어진 p-GaAs 기판 위에 성장하였다. 태양전지 박막구조는 두께 400 nm의 N-AlGaInP 층에 590 nm의 p-GaInP와 210 nm의 GaInP/GaAs 양자 우물 구조(10 nm GaInP/5 nm GaAs의 14겹 구조)가 도입된 양자우물 태양전지 구조와 800 nm의 p-GaInP의 단일이종접합 구조로 이루어진다. 측정결과 $1{\times}1mm^2$의 태양전지에서 단락전류밀도($J_{sc}$)는 양자우물구조가 도입된 태양전지에서는 $9.61mA/cm^2$, 양자우물 구조가 없는 태양전지에서는 $7.06mA/cm^2$가 각각 측정되었다. 이차이온질량 분석법(SIMS)과 외부양자효율(external quantum efficiency) 측정을 통하여 단락전류 증가에 의한 효율증가가 흡수 스펙트럼의 확대가 아닌 양자우물에 의한 carrier 재결합의 억제에 의한 효과임을 확인하였다.

  • Piezoelectric fields built in I $n_{x}$G $a_1$$_{-x}$N/GaN (x=0.06∼0.1) quantum wells (QWs) have been estimated by comparing the transition energies, both calculated and measured by photoluminescence (PL). The calculation was numerically carried out with a rectangular QW model, where the effective bandgap considering a bowing facto, energy levels quantized for the lowest lying electrons and heavy holes (1e-lhh), and biaxial compressive strain were included except for the piezoelectric fields. The calculated values were observed to be larger (9∼15 meV) than the measured values by PL, which was considered to be caused by the piezoelectric fields built in InGaN/GaN QW interface. In addition, we observed the energy shift by measuring the EPDPL (excitation power-dependent PL), which was compared with the energy difference caused by the piezoelectric fields.

  • The components affecting the extrinsic transconductance (gm_ext) in In0.7Ga0.3As quantum-well (QW) high-electron-mobility transistors (HEMTs) on an InP substrate were investigated. First, comprehensive modeling, which only requires physical parameters, was used to explain both the intrinsic transconductance (gm_int) and the gm_ext of the devices. Two types of In0.7Ga0.3As QW HEMT were fabricated with gate lengths ranging from 10 ㎛ to sub-100 nm. These measured results were correlated with the modeling to describe the device behavior using analytical expressions. To study the effects of the components affecting gm_int, the proposed approach was extended to projection by changing the values of physical parameters, such as series resistances (RS and RD), apparent mobility (𝜇n_app), and saturation velocity (𝜈sat).
