13.	Sandwich method to grow high quality AlN by MOCVD Demir , H Li, Y Robin, R McClintock, S Elagoz and M Razeghi Journal of Physics D: Applied Physics 51, pp. 085104-- February 7, 2018 ...[Visit Journal] We report pulsed atomic layer epitaxy growth of a very high crystalline quality, thick (~2 µm) and crack-free AlN material on c-plane sapphire substrates via a sandwich method using metal organic chemical vapor deposition. This sandwich method involves the introduction of a relatively low temperature (1050 °C) 1500 nm thick AlN layer between two 250 nm thick AlN layers which are grown at higher temperature (1170 °C). The surface morphology and crystalline quality remarkably improve using this sandwich method. A 2 µm thick AlN layer was realized with 33 arcsec and 136 arcsec full width at half maximum values for symmetric and asymmetric reflections of ω-scan, respectively, and it has an atomic force microscopy root-mean-square surface roughness of ~0.71 nm for a 5 × 5 µm² surface area.

13.	Al_xGa_1-xN Materials and Device Technology for Solar Blind Ultraviolet Photodetector Applications R. McClintock, P. Sandvik, K. Mi, F. Shahedipour, A. Yasan, C. Jelen, P. Kung, and M. Razeghi SPIE Conference, San Jose, CA, Vol. 4288, pp. 219-- January 22, 2001 ...[Visit Journal] There has been a growing interest for the development of solar blind ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors for use in a variety of applications, including early missile threat warning, flame monitoring, UV radiation monitoring and chemical/biological reagent detection. The Al_xGa_1-xN material system has emerged as the most promising approach for such devices. However, the control of the material quality and the device technology are still rather immature. We report here the metalorganic chemical vapor deposition, the n-type and the p-type doping of high quality Al_xGa_1-xN thin films on sapphire substrates over a wide range of Al concentration.

13.	Surface plasmon enhanced light emission from AlGaN-based ultraviolet light-emitting diodes grown on Si (111) Chu-Young Cho, Yinjun Zhang, Erdem Cicek, Benjamin Rahnema, Yanbo Bai, Ryan McClintock, and Manijeh Razeghi Appl. Phys. Lett. 102, 211110 (2013)-- May 31, 2013 ...[Visit Journal] We report on the development of surface plasmon (SP) enhanced AlGaN-based multiple quantum wells (MQWs) ultraviolet (UV) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) grown on silicon (111) substrates. In order to generate SP-coupling with the radiating dipoles in MQWs, an aluminum layer is selectively deposited in holes etched in the top p-AlGaN to p-GaN layers. After flip-chip bonding and substrate removal, an optical output power of ∼1.2 mW is achieved at an emission wavelength of 346 nm; the output power of these UV LEDs with Al layer is increased by 45% compared to that of conventional UV LEDs without Al layer. This enhancement can be attributed to an increase in the spontaneous emission rate and improved internal quantum efficiency via resonance coupling between excitons in MQWs and SPs in the aluminum layer.

13.	Background Limited Performance in p-doped GaAs/Ga[0.71]In[0.29]As[0.39]P[0.61] Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors J. Hoff, S. Kim, M. Erdtmann, R. Williams, J. Piotrowski, E. Bigan, M. Razeghi and G. Brown Applied Physics Letters 67 (1)-- July 3, 1995 ...[Visit Journal] Background limited infrared photodetection has been achieved up to 100 K at normal incidence with p-type GaAs/Ga_0.71In_0.29As_0.39P_0.61 quantum well intersubband photodetectors grown by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Photoresponse covers the wavelength range from 2.5 μm up to 7 μm. The device shows photovoltaic response, the cutoff wavelength increases slightly with bias, and the responsivity increases nonlinearly with bias. These effects are attributed to an asymmetric quantum well profile. [reprint (PDF)]

SPIE 11687, Oxide-based Materials and Devices XII, 116872D (24 March 2021); doi: 10.1117/12.2596194 ...[Visit Journal] Ga2O3 layers were grown on c-sapphire substrates by pulsed laser deposition. Optical transmission spectra were coherent with a bandgap engineering from 4.9 to 6.2 eV controlled via the growth conditions. X-ray diffraction revealed that the films were mainly β-Ga2O3 (monoclinic) with strong (-201) orientation. Metal-Semiconductor-Metal photodetectors based on gold/nickel Inter- Digitated-Transducer structures were fabricated by single-step negative photolithography. 240 nm peak response sensors gave over 2 orders-of-magnitude of separation between dark and light signal with state-of-the-art solar and visible rejection ratios ((I240 : I290) of > 3 x 105 and (I240 : I400) of > 2 x 106) and dark signals of <50 pA (at a bias of -5V). Spectral responsivities showed an exceptionally narrow linewidth (16.5 nm) and peak values exhibited a slightly superlinear increase with applied bias up to a value of 6.5 A/W (i.e. a quantum efficiency of > 3000%) at 20V bias.

13.	High-Power Continuous-Wave Operation of Quantum-Cascade Lasers Up to 60 °C J.S. Yu, A. Evans, J. David, L. Doris, S. Slivken and M. Razeghi IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, 16 (3)-- March 1, 2004 ...[Visit Journal] High-temperature high-power continuous-wave (CW) operation of high-reflectivity-coated 12 μm wide quantum-cascade lasers emitting at λ = 6 μm with a thick electroplated Au top contact layer is reported for different cavity lengths. For a 3 mm long laser, the CW optical output powers of 381 mW at 293 K and 22 mW at maximum operating temperature of 333 K (60°C) are achieved with threshold current densities of 1.93 and 3.09 kA/cm², respectively. At 298 K, the same cavity gives a maximum wall plug efficiency of 3.17% at 1.07 A. An even higher CW optical output power of 424 mW at 293 K is obtained for a 4-mm-long laser and the device also operates up to 332 K with an output power of 14 mW. Thermal resistance is also analyzed at threshold as a function of cavity length. [reprint (PDF)]
13.	GaInAs/InP nanopillar arrays for long wavelength infrared detection A. Gin, Y. Wei, A. Hood, D. Hoffman, M. Razeghi and G.J. Brown SPIE Conference, Jose, CA, Vol. 5732, pp. 350-- January 22, 2005 ...[Visit Journal] Nanopillar devices have been fabricated from GaInAs/InP QWIP material grown by MOCVD. Using electron beam lithography and reactive ion etching techniques, large, regular arrays of nanopillars with controllable diameters ranging from 150 nm to less than 40 nm have been reproducibly formed. Photoluminescence experiments demonstrate a strong peak wavelength blue shift for nanopillar structures compared to the as-grown quantum well material. Top and bottom metal contacts have been realized using a polyimide planarization and etchback procedure. I-V and noise measurements have been performed. Optical measurements indicate photoconductive response in selected nanopillar arrays. Device peak wavelength response occurs at about 8 µm with peak device responsivity of 420 mA/W. Peak detectivity of 3×10⁸ cm·Hz^½/W has been achieved at -1V bias and 30 K. [reprint (PDF)]
13.	Ultra-broadband quantum cascade laser, tunable over 760 cm−1, with balanced gain N. Bandyopadhyay, M. Chen, S. Sengupta, S. Slivken, and M. Razeghi Opt. Express 23, 21159-21164 -- August 10, 2015 ...[Visit Journal] A heterogeneous quantum cascade laser, consisting of multiple stacks of discrete wavelength quantum cascade stages, emitting in 5.9-10.9 µm, wavelength range is reported. The broadband characteristics are demonstrated with a distributed-feedback laser array, emitting at fixed frequencies at room temperature, covering an emission range of ~760 cm⁻¹, which is ~59% relative to the center frequency. By appropriate choice of a strained AlInAs/GaInAs material system, quantum cascade stage design and spatial arrangement of stages, the distributed-feedback array has been engineered to exhibit a flat threshold current density across the demonstrated range.

13.	Tl incorporation in InSb and lattice contraction of In_1-xTl_xSb J.J. Lee and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 76 (3)-- January 17, 2000 ...[Visit Journal] Ternary In_1−xTl_xSb thin films are grown by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition in the high In composition region. Infrared photoresponse spectra of the In_1−xTl_xSb epilayers show a clear shift toward a longer wavelength compared to that of InSb. Tl incorporation is confirmed by Auger electron spectroscopy. In contrast to the theoretical expectation, high resolution x-ray diffraction study reveals that the lattice of the In_1−xTl_xSb epilayers is contracted by the incorporation of Tl. As more Tl is incorporated, the lattice contraction is observed to increase gradually in the experimental range. A possible origin of this phenomenon is discussed. Our experimental results suggest that the Tl incorporation behavior in In_1−xTl_xSb differs from that of other group III impurities in III antimonides. [reprint (PDF)]
13.	High-quality MOCVD-grown heteroepitaxial gallium oxide growth on III-nitrides enabled by AlOx interlayer Junhee Lee, Lakshay Gautam, and Manijeh Razeghi Junhee Lee, Manijeh RazeghiAppl. Phys. Lett. 123, 151902 (2023) https://doi.org/10.1063/5.0170383 ...[Visit Journal] We report high-quality Ga2O3 grown on an AlGaN/AlN/Sapphire in a single growth run in the same Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition reactor with an AlOx interlayer at the Ga2O3/AlGaN interface. AlOx interlayer was found to enable the growth of single crystalline Ga2O3 on AlGaN in spite of the high lattice mismatch between the two material systems. The resulting nitride/oxide heterogenous heterostructures showed superior material qualities, which were characterized by structural, electrical, and optical characterization techniques. In particular, a significant enhancement of the electron mobility of the nitride/oxide heterogenous heterostructure is reported when compared to the individual electron mobilities of the Ga2O3 epilayer on the sapphire substrate and the AlGaN/AlN heterostructure on the sapphire substrate. This enhanced mobility marks a significant step in realizing the next generation of power electronic devices and transistors. [reprint (PDF)]
13.	Room-temperature, high-power and continuous-wave operation of distributed-feedback quantum-cascade lasers at λ ~ 9.6 µm S.R. Darvish, S. Slivken, A. Evans, J.S. Yu, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters, 88 (20)-- May 15, 2006 ...[Visit Journal] High-power continuous-wave (cw) operation of distributed-feedback quantum-cascade lasers is reported. Continuous-wave output powers of 100 mW at 25 °C and 20 mW at 50 °C are obtained. The device exhibits a cw threshold current density of 1.34 kA/cm², a maximum cw wall-plug efficiency of 1% at 25 °C, and a characteristic temperature of ~190 K in pulsed mode. Single-mode emission near 9.6 μm with a side-mode suppression ratio of ≥ 30 dB and a tuning range of 2.89 cm^–1 from 15 to 50 °C is obtained. [reprint (PDF)]
13.	Neutron Activation Analysis of an Iranian Cigarette and its Smoke Z. Abedinzadeh, M. Razeghi and B. Parsa Z. Abedinzadeh, M. Razeghi and B. Parsa, Journal of Radioanalytical Chemistry, VoL 35 [1977) 373-376-- September 1, 1977 ...[Visit Journal] Non-destructive neutron activation analysis, employing a high-resolution Ge(Li) detector, was applied to determine the concentration of 24 trace elements in the tobacco of the Zarrin cigarette which is commercially made in Iran. These elements are: Na, K, Sc, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Zn, Se, Br, Rb, Ag, Sb, Cs, Ba, La, Ce, Sm, Eu, Tb, Hf, Au, Hg and Th. The smokes from the combustion of this tobacco and of the cigarette paper were also analysed for these elements and the percentage transference values were calculated. [reprint (PDF)]
13.	III-nitride based avalanche photo detectors R. McClintock, E. Cicek, Z. Vashaei, C. Bayram, M. Razeghi and M. Ulmer Proceedings, Vol. 7780, p. 77801B, SPIE Optics and Photonics Symposium, Conference on Detectors and Imaging Devices: Infrared, Focal Plane and Single Photon, San Diego, CA -- August 4, 2010 ...[Visit Journal] Research into III-Nitride based avalanche photodiodes (APDs) is motivated by the need for high sensitivity ultraviolet (UV) detectors in numerous civilian and military applications. By designing III-Nitride photodetectors that utilize low-noise impact ionization high internal gain can be realized-GaN APDs operating in Geiger mode can achieve gains exceeding 1×10⁷. Thus with careful design, it becomes possible to count photons at the single photon level. In this paper we review the current state of the art in III-Nitride visible-blind APDs and discuss the critical design choices necessary to achieve high performance Geiger mode devices. Other major technical issues associated with the realization of visible-blind Geiger mode APDs are also discussed in detail and future prospects for improving upon the performance of these devices are outlined. The photon detection efficiency, dark count rate, and spectral response of or most recent Geiger-mode GaN APDs on free-standing GaN substrates are studied under low photon fluxes, with single photon detection capabilities being demonstrated. We also present our latest results regarding linear mode gain uniformity: the study of gain uniformity helps reveal the spatial origins of gain so that we can better understand the role of defects.

13.	Gallium nitride on silicon for consumer & scalable photonics C. Bayram, K.T. Shiu, Y. Zhu, C.W. Cheng, D.K. Sadana, Z. Vashaei, E. Cicek, R. McClintock and M. Razeghi SPIE Proceedings, Vol. 8631, p. 863112-1, Photonics West, San Francisco, CA-- February 4, 2013 ...[Visit Journal] Gallium Nitride (GaN) is a unique material system that has been heavily exploited for photonic devices thanks to ultraviolet-to-terahertz spectral tunability. However, without a cost effective approach, GaN technology is limited to laboratory demonstrations and niche applications. In this investigation, integration of GaN on Silicon (100) substrates is attempted to enable widespread application of GaN based optoelectronics. Controlled local epitaxy of wurtzite phase GaN on on-axis Si(100) substrates is demonstrated via metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). CMOS-compatible fabrication scheme is used to realize [SiO2-Si{111}-Si{100}] groove structures on conventional 200-mm Si(100) substrates. MOCVD growth (surface treatment, nucleation, initiation) conditions are studied to achieve controlled GaN epitaxy on such grooved Si(100) substrates. Scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy techniques are used to determine uniformity and defectivity of the GaN. Our results show that aforementioned groove structures along with optimized MOCVD growth conditions can be used to achieve controlled local epitaxy of wurtzite phase GaN on on-axis Si(100) substrates.

13.	High-speed, low-noise metal-semiconductor-metal ultraviolet photodetectors based on GaN D. Walker, E. Monroy, P. Kung, J. Wu, M. Hamilton, F.J. Sanchez, J. Diaz, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 74 (5)-- February 1, 1999 ...[Visit Journal] We present the fabrication and characterization of nonintentionally doped GaN and GaN:Mg Schottky metal–semiconductor–metal (MSM) photodetectors, grown on sapphire by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Low-leakage, Schottky contacts were made with Pt/Au. The devices are visible blind, with an ultraviolet/green contrast of about five orders of magnitude.

13.	Advances in antimonide-based Type-II superlattices for infrared detection and imaging at center for quantum devices M. Razeghi, A. Haddadi, A.M. Hoang, E.K. Huang, G. Chen, S. Bogdanov, S.R. Darvish, F. Callewaert, R. McClintock Infrared Physics & Technology, Volume 59, Pages 41-52 (2013)-- July 1, 2013 ...[Visit Journal] Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattices (T2SLs), a system of multi-interacting quantum wells, was introduced by Nobel Laureate L. Esaki in the 1970s. Since then, this material system has drawn a lot of attention especially for infrared detection. In recent years, T2SL material system has experienced incredible improvements in material quality, device structure designs and device fabrication process which elevated the performances of T2SL-based photo-detectors to a comparable level to the state-of-the-art material systems for infrared detection such as Mercury Cadmium Telluride (MCT). In this paper, we will present the current status of T2SL-based photo-detectors and focal plane arrays for imaging in different infrared regions, from SWIR to VLWIR, and the future outlook of this material system.

13.	New frontiers in InP based quantum devices Manijeh Razeghi Indium Phosphide and Related Materials, 2008. IPRM 2008. 20th International Conference on, pp.1,4, (2008)-- May 29, 2008 ...[Visit Journal] Recent research activities taking place at center for quantum devices (CQD) based on InP material system, especially the exploration and demonstration of the state-of-art high performance quantum cascade lasers (QCL), greatly facilitate the understanding of the underlining physical principles governing the device operation. Thanks to the endless effort putting into the semiconductor epitaxy technologies, including the Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) and low pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition (LP-MOCVD), the world has seen a close approaching to the ultimate band gap engineering. Highly sophisticated man-made heterostructure, which incorporates hundreds of alternating layers of GaInAs/AlInAs with each layer thickness and composition specifically designed, can be created within a single growth. The material quality is evidenced by the atomically abrupt interfaces. The versatility of the band gap engineering is greatly enhanced by the strain-balanced technique, which allows for growing structures with continuously tunable conduction band offset with little defects. As a result, the room temperature continuous wave (CW) wall plug efficiency (WPE) and the maximum achievable output optical power from a single device have been constantly improving. Novel waveguide incorporating the photonic crystal distributed feedback (PCDFB) mechanism is also investigated with satisfactory preliminary results. [reprint (PDF)]
13.	Temperature dependence of threshold current density J_th and differential efficiency of High Power InGaAsP/GaAs ( λ = 0.8 μm) lasers H. Yi, J. Diaz, I. Eliashevich, M. Stanton, M. Erdtmann, X. He, L. Wang, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 66 (3)-- January 16, 1995 ...[Visit Journal] An experimental and theoretical study on temperature dependence of the threshold current density J_th and differential efficiency ηd for the InGaAsP/GaAs laser diodes emitting at λ=0.8 μm was performed. Threshold current density J_th increases and differential efficiency η_d decreases as temperature is increased mainly because of thermal broadening of the gain spectrum. However, the measured temperature dependence of J_th and η_d could not be explained when only this effect was considered. In this letter, the temperature dependence of momentum relaxation rate ℏ/τ of carriers was investigated by performing the photoluminescence study. At high temperature, increase of the momentum relaxation rate ℏ/τ leads to reduction of the gain and mobility and increase of the optical loss, causing higher J_th and lower η_d as experimentally observed. The resulting theoretical model provides a good explanation for the mechanism of the increase of J_th and decrease of η_d. [reprint (PDF)]

Razeghi, P. Maurel D. Gauthier, L. Dmowski, J.C. Portal, D. Leadley, M.A. Hopkins, M.A. Brummell, R.J. Nicholas, M. Razeghi, P. Maurel, Pressure dependence study of the effective mass in Ga0.47In0.53As/InP heterojunctions, Superlattices and Microstructures, Volume 4, Issue 2, 1988, Pages 201-206-- August 17, 1987 ...[Visit Journal] A study of the effective mass in GaInAs/InP heterojunctions under hydrostatic pressure up to 15 kbars is presented. Earlier results have shown the importance of hydrostatic pressure effects on the band parameters of the heterojunction to explain the experimental decrease of the carrier concentration with pressure at the interface (1). Here magnetophonon resonance experiments are performed to work out the increase of mass with pressure in our samples. The effective mass at atmospheric pressure is deduced from high temperature cyclotron resonance experiments and then used to calculate the frequency of the phonon interacting with the 2D electron gas (wo). The value of wo is found to be dependent on the carrier concentration of the measured samples. The lowest value is found for the highest carrier concentration sample. A band edge effective mass increase of 1 ± .1% kbar is found in the highest carrier concentration sample. This is two times smaller than the rate found experimentally in GaInAs bulk material and slightly smaller than in an AlInAs/GaInAs heterojunction. The experimental increase could be fitted with multiband k.p theory assuming no pressure dependence for the conduction band-valence band matrix element Ep. However at lower concentration a variation of the matrix element Ep with pressure has to be considered. [reprint (PDF)]

A device with a 5 mm cavity length exhibits an output power of 1.1 W in room-temperature cw operation. Single-mode operation with a side mode suppression ratio of 30 dB is obtained in the working temperature of 15–105 °C. A double-lobed far field with negligible beam steering is observed. The significance of this demonstration lies in its simplicity and readiness to be applied to standard QCL wafers with the promise of high-power performances. [reprint (PDF)]

Lett. 1 August 1983; 43 (3): 293–295.-- August 1, 1983 ...[Visit Journal] We report the observation of Shubnikov–de Haas oscillations in superlattices of GaInAs and InP, showing evidence of two‐dimensional behavior. The electron g‐factor is deduced from both the criteria for resolution of a spin splitting by comparison with the broadening parameter Γ, and from the tilted field method, and is shown to increase with increasing resolution of the Landau levels in a manner consistent with the theory of Ando and Uemura. In the ultraquantum limit, structure at ν=1/2 and ν=1/3 is observed. [reprint (PDF)]
