The power of semiconductor laser diodes has been limited primarily by the heating effects which occur at high optical intensities. The actual limiting event can take one of a number of forms such as. catastrophic optical damage or filamentation. A general approach to this problem is to design a heterostructure which creates a high powered output while maintaining low internal optical intensities. A graded index separate confinement heterostructure (GRIN-SCH) is one such structure that accomplishes the above task. Here, the active region is sandwiched between graded index layers where the index of refraction increases nearer to the active layer. This structure has been shown to yield a high efficiency due to the confinement of both the optical power and carriers, thereby reducing the optical intensity required to achieve higher powers. The optical confinement also reinforces the optical beam quality against high power effects. Quantum dots have long been a desirable option for laser diodes due to the enhanced optical properties associated with the zeroth dimensionality. In our work, we use PICS3D software created by Crosslight Software Inc. to simulate the performance of In0.67A10.33As/A10.2Ga0.8AsquantumdotsusedwithaGRIN-SCH. The simulation tools are used to optimize the GRIN-SCH structure for high efficiency and optical beam quality.

본 논문에서는 광의 결합 메커니즘이 다른 ITG(integrated-twin-guide) 와 BT(butt coupled) 구조를 가지는 두 종류의 파장 가변 DBR-LD의 제작공정과 성능에 대해서 기술하였다. 두 종류의 DBR-LD는 PBH(planar buried heterostructure) 구조론 가지며, MOVPE 성장으로 제작하였다. 제작된 DBR-LD 광출력 특성을 측정한 결과 BT-DBR-LD가 ITG-DBR-LD보다 임계전류 변화폭, 광출력 변화 폭, 기울기 효율에서 2배 이상의 우수한 특성을 나타내었다. 그리고, 준 연속 파장 가변 특성은 BT-DBR-LD가 7.2nm, ITG-DBR-LD가 7.4nm 이며, SMSR이 35dB 이상으로 우수하게 나타났다. 이와 같이 BT DBR-LD가 특성이 우수한 것은 BT 구조가 ITG 구조보다 높은 결합 효율을 나타내기 때문이다.

Metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) 법으로 성장된 $In_{0.49}Ga_{0.51}P$/GaAs 이종접합 구조의 특성을 표면 광전압(surface photovoltage; SPV) 분광법으로 조사하였다. SPV 측정은 입사광의 세기, 변조 주파수, 온도의 함수로 수행하였다. 상온에서 시료의 띠간격 에너지(band gap energy)는 GaAs와 $In_{0.49}Ga_{0.51}P$는 각각 1.400 및 1.893 eV이었다. 광세기를 증가시킴에 따라 SPV 크기는 증가하는 반면에, 변조 주파수를 증가시킴에 따라 SPV 크기는 감소하였다. 그리고 SPV 스펙트럼의 온도 의존성으로부터 GaAs와 $In_{0.49}Ga_{0.51}P$의 띠간격 에너지의 변화를 Varshni 및 Bose-Einstein 표현에 의해 분석하였다.

A novel strontium titanate/binary metal sulfide ($SrTiO_3/SnCoS_4$) heterostructure was synthesized by a simple two-step hydrothermal method. The visible-light-driven photocatalytic performance of $SrTiO_3/SnCoS_4$ composites was evaluated in the degradation of methyl orange (MO) under visible light irradiation. The photocatalytic performance of $SrTiO_3/SnCoS_4-5%$ is much higher than that of pure $SrTiO_3$, $SnCoS_4$, $SrTiO_3/SnS_2$ and $SrTiO_3/CoS_2$. The $SrTiO_3/SnCoS_4$ composite material with 5 wt.% of $SnCoS_4$ showed the highest photocatalytic efficiency for MO degradation, and the degradation rate could reach 95% after 140 min irradiation time. The enhanced photocatalytic activity was ascribed to not only the improvement of visible light absorption efficiency, but also the construction of a heterostructure which make it possible to effectively separate photoexcited electrons and holes in the two-phase interface.

AlGaN/GaN 이종접합 구조는 이차원 전자 가스층(2-DEG)으로 인해 높은 전자이동도를 갖고 있으며, 넓은 밴드갭을 갖기 때문에 고온에서 높은 항복전압을 갖는 특성을 가지고 있어, 고전력, 고주파 전자 소자로 주목받고 있다. 이러한 이점을 갖고 있음에도 불구하고, 전류 붕괴 등의 다양한 소자 신뢰성에 영향을 주는 인자들이 있기 때문에 이를 해결하고자, 본 논문에서는 금속-유기-화학기상증착법을 이용하여 AlGaN/GaN 이종 접합구조와 SiN 패시베이션 층을 연속 증착시켰다. 이를 통해 HEMTs소자에 SiN패시베이션이 미치는 재료 특성 및 전기적 특성을 분석했으며, 결과를 바탕으로 저주파 잡음 특성을 측정해 소자의 전도 메커니즘 모델과 채널 내의 결함의 원인에 대해서 분석하였다.

Photoluminescence up-conversion in semiconductor heterostructures is a phenomenon in which luminescence occurs at energies higher than that of the excitation photons. It has been observed in many semiconductor heterostructure systems, including InP/AnALAs, CdTe/CdMgTe, GaAs/ordered-(Al)GalnP, GaAs/AIGaAs, and InAs/GaAs. In this wort, GaAs/AIGaAs heterostructures are used as a model system to study the mechanism of the up-conversion process. This system is ideal for testing different models because the band offsets are quite well documented. Different heterostructures are designed to study the effect of disorder on the up-converted luminescence efficiency. In order to study the roles of different types of carriers, the effect of doping was investigated. It was found that the up-converted luminescence is significantly enhanced by p-type doping of the higher-band-gap material.

In this paper, we developed a two-dimensional numerical simulator which could analyze the stripe geometry semiconductor laser diodes by modifying the commercial semiconductor device simulator, MEDICI. In order to study the characteristics of semiconductor laser diodes, it is necessary to solve the Helmholtz wave equation and photon rate equation in addition to the basic semiconductor equations. Also the recombination rates due to the spontaneous and the stimulated emissions should be included, which are very important recombination mechanisms in semiconductor laser diodes. Therefore, we included the solution routines which analyzed the Helmholtz wave equation and the photon rate equation and two important recombination rates to simulate the semiconductor laser diodes. Then we simulated the gain-guiding and index-guiding DH(Double Heterostructure) semiconductor laser diodes to verify the validity of the implemented functions. The results obtained from simulation are well consistent with the previously published ones. This allows us to know the operating characteristics of DH laser diodes and is expected to use as a tool for optimum design.

In the present paper efforts have been made to optimize InAlAs/InGaAs HEMT by enhancing the effective gate voltage ($(V_c-V_off)$) using pulsed doped structure from uniformly doped to delta doped for microwave frequency applications and reliability. The detailed design criteria to select the proper design parameters have also been discussed in detail to exclude parallel conduction without affecting the del ice performance. Then the optimized value of $V_c-V_off$and breakdown voltages corresponding to maximum value of transconductance has been obtained. These values are then used to predict the transconductance and cut-off frequency of the del ice for different channel depths and gate lengths.

The structure of OLEDs with conventional heterostructure consists of anode, hole injection layer, hole transport layer, light-emitting layer, electron transport layer, electron injection layer, and cathode. NPB used as a hole transport layer and DPVBi used as a blue light emitting layer were graded-mixed at selected ratio. Interface at heterojunction between the hole transport layer and the elecrtron transport layer restricts device's stability. Mixing of the hole transport layerand the emitting layer removes abrupt interface between the hole transport. layer and the electron transport layer. The stability of OLED with graded mixed-layer developed in this study was improved.
