Compound Semiconductor Materials, Devices and Circuits
Abstract:
This one year research program on compound semiconductor materials growth, devices and circuits has focused on a organometallic vapor phase epitaxy OMVPE of GaInPGaAs and AlInPGaInP superlattices b enhancement of heterostructure device speed performance via strain layer superlattices and mushroom gates in modulation doped FETs MODFETs, and inserted tunnel barriers heterojunction bipolar devices HBT c fabrication and characterization of MODFET devices with gate lengths to 50 nm d self- consistent Monte Carlo transport formulation and its application to small graded heterostructure devices e optical modulation based on the quantum confined Stark effect and f femtosecond spectroscopy of hot carrier processes using the visible Rh6G laser and a new UV BaB2O4 laser. Keywords Gallium indium phosphide Gallium arsenide Aluminum indium phosphide Field effect transistors Barium borate.
