14.	Electron capture processes in optically excited In0.53Ga 0.47As/InP quantum wells U. Cebulla, G. Bacher, A. Forchel, D. Schmitz, H. Jürgensen, M. Razeghi Appl. Phys. Lett. 55, 933–935 (1989)-- September 4, 1989* ...[Visit Journal] We have performed picosecond time-resolved measurements on Ir:.O. 53 GaO. 47 As/lnP quantum wells with varying barrier thicknesses using 10 ps Nd:Y AG excitation. For this excitation, holes and electrons are created in the Ino . 53 GaOA7 As layers. Due to momentum conservation the Nd:YAG excitation accelerates the electrons above the InP barrier where they can diffuse but cannot recombine. By examining the rise time of the quantum well emission, we can show that for samples with thick barriers, the harrier geometry largely controls the dynamic properties of the carriers after Nd:YAG excitation.

14.	Type-II InAs/GaSb/AlSb superlatticebased heterojunction phototransistors: back to the future Abbas Haddadi, Arash Dehzangi, Romain Chevallier, Thomas Yang, Manijeh Razeghi Proc. SPIE 10540, Quantum Sensing and Nano Electronics and Photonics XV- Page-1054004-1-- January 26, 2018 ...[Visit Journal] Most of reported HPTs in literatures are based on InGaAs compounds that cover NIR spectral region. However, InGaAs compounds provide limited cut-off wavelength tunability. In contrast, type-II superlattices (T2SLs) are a developing new material system with intrinsic advantages such as great flexibility in bandgap engineering, low growth and manufacturing cost, high-uniformity, auger recombination suppression, and high carrier effective mass that are becoming an attractive candidate for infrared detection and imaging from short-wavelength infrared to very long wavelength infrared regime. We present the recent advancements in T2SL-based heterojunction phototransistors in e– SWIR, MWIR and LWIR spectral ranges. A mid-wavelength infrared heterojunction phototransistor based on type-II InAs/AlSb/GaSb superlattices on GaSb substrate has been demonstrated. Then, we present the effect of vertical scaling on the optical and electrical performance of heterojunction phototransistors, where the performance of devices with different base width was compared as the base was scaled from 60 down to 40 nm.

14.	Study of Phase Transition in MOCVD Grown Ga2O3 from κ to β Phase by Ex Situ and In Situ Annealing Junhee Lee, Honghyuk Kim, Lakshay Gautam, Kun He, Xiaobing Hu, Vinayak P. Dravid and Manijeh Razeghi Photonics 2021, 8, 17. https://doi.org/10.3390/ photonics8010017 ...[Visit Journal] We report the post-growth thermal annealing and the subsequent phase transition of Ga2O3 grown on c-plane sapphire substrates by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). We demonstrated the post-growth thermal annealing at temperatures higher than 900 °C under N2 ambience, by either in situ or ex situ thermal annealing, can induce phase transition from nominally metastable κ- to thermodynamically stable β-phase. This was analyzed by structural characterizations such as high-resolution scanning transmission electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction. The highly resistive as-grown Ga2O3 epitaxial layer becomes conductive after annealing at 1000 °C. Furthermore, we demonstrate that in situ annealing can lead to a crack-free β-Ga2O3. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Review of III-Nitride Optoelectronic Materials for light Emission and Detection M. Razeghi, A. Yasan, R. McClintock, K. Mayes, D. Shiell, S. Darvish, and P. Kung Physica Status Solidi C S141 - S148-- September 10, 2004 ...[Visit Journal] We review the significant achievements relating to optoelectronic devices based on III-nitrides at the center for quantum devices (CQD). Based on GaN/InGaN multiple-quantum well structures, we demonstrated blue laser diodes at a wavelength of 405 nm. This achievement was particularly significant at the time, because while no defect reduction technique was used, a fairly low threshold current density was achieved (3.8 kA/cm²). In the past few years, however, the interest has shifted towards shorter wavelength light emitters, i.e. ultraviolet LEDs and LDs. Lower crystalline quality and unsatisfactory doping levels of AlGaN compound semiconductors posed serious challenges en route to the realization of UV light emitters. However, steady progress in the growth of AlGaN and AlN epilayers made it possible to overcome some of the difficulties. To date, we have been able to demonstrate UV LEDs at wavelengths as short as 265 nm (corresponding to 45% Al in Al_xGa_1-xN) with optical output powers of over 5 mW. We have addressed the n-type AlGaN doping problem by using a Si-In co-doped scheme. We also employed high-quality AlGaN/AlN superlattice templates for the reduction of defects. We have also demonstrated 280 nm UV LEDs with output powers of over 6 mW and external quantum efficiencies of over 0.25%. Despite all the success in the realization of short-wavelength UV LEDs, UV laser diodes at these short wavelengths are yet to be realized. The main difficulties are the low material quality, high device resistance leading to excessive heating of the device, realization of smooth cavity mirrors, and issues related to the cracking of the material. We have also demonstrated different types of photodetectors in the UV range of the spectrum: photoconductors, MSM photodetector, Schottky barrier photodetectors, and p-i-n photodiodes to name a few. The most promising type of photodetector for realization of UV imaging focal plane arrays is the p-i-n photodiode. Realization of high-efficiency AlGaN-based p-i-n photodiodes becomes more difficult when considering the need for the collection of the light from the backside of the substrate. However, similar to our back-emission UV LED structure, we have demonstrated back-illuminated p-i-n solar-blind photodiodes with external quantum efficiencies as high as 68% under no applied bias and 74% under -5 V of bias.

14.	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)]
14.	High Performance Type-II InAs/GaSb Superlattice Photodiodes H. Mohseni, Y. Wei, and M. Razeghi SPIE Conference, San Jose, CA, -- January 22, 2001 ...[Visit Journal] We report on the demonstration of high performance p-i-n photodiodes based on Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattices operating in the very long wavelength infrared (VLWIR) range at 80 K. Material is grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaSb substrates with excellent crystal quality as evidenced by x-ray diffraction and atomic force microscopy. The processed devices with a 50% cutoff wavelength of λ_c equals 22 μm show a peak current responsivity about 5.5 A/W at 80 K. The use of binary layers in the superlattice has significantly enhanced the uniformity and reproducibility of the energy gap. The 90% to 10% cut-off energy width of these devices is on the order of 2 kT which is about four times smaller compared to the devices based on InAs/Ga1-xInxSb superlattices. Similar photovoltaic devices with cut-off wavelengths up to 25 μm have been measured at 80 K. Our experimental results shows excellent uniformity over a three inch wafer area, indicating the possibility of VLWIR focal plane arrays based on Type-II superlattices. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Sharp/Tuneable UVC Selectivity and Extreme Solar Blindness in Nominally Undoped Ga2O3 MSM Photodetectors Grown by Pulsed Laser Deposition D. J. Rogers, A. Courtois, F. H. Teherani, V. E. Sandana, P. Bove, X. Arrateig, L. Damé, P. Maso, M. Meftah, W. El Huni, Y. Sama, H. Bouhnane, S. Gautier, A. Ougazzaden & M. Razeghi Proc. SPIE 11687 (2021) 116872D-1 ...[Visit Journal] Ga2O3layers 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.

14.	Comparison of ultraviolet APDs grown on free-standing GaN and sapphire substrates E. Cicek, Z. Vashaei, C. Bayram, R. McClintock, M. Razeghi and M. Ulmer Proceedings, Vol. 7780, p. 77801P, 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] There is a need for semiconductor-based ultraviolet photodetectors to support avalanche gain in order to realize better performance andmore effective compete with existing technologies. Wide bandgap III-Nitride semiconductors are the promising material system for the development of avalanche photodiodes (APDs) that could be a viable alternative to current bulky UV detectors such as photomultiplier tubes. In this paper, we review the current state-of-the-art in IIINitride visible-blind APDs, and present our latest results on GaN APDs grown on both conventional sapphire and low dislocation density free-standing c- and m-plane GaN substrates. Leakage current, gain, and single photon detection efficiency (SPDE) of these APDs were compared. The spectral response and Geiger-mode photon counting performance of UV APDs are studied under low photon fluxes, with single photon detection capabilities as much as 30% being demonstrated in smaller devices. Geiger-mode operation conditions are optimized for enhanced SPDE. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	High-quality visible-blind AlGaN p-i-n photodiodes E. Monroy, M. Hamilton, D. Walker, P. Kung, F.J. Sanchez, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 74 (8)-- February 22, 1999 ...[Visit Journal] We report the fabrication and characterization of Al_xGa_1−xN p-i-n photodiodes (0 < x < 0.15) grown on sapphire by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The devices present a visible rejection of six orders of magnitude with a cutoff wavelength that shifts from 365 to 338 nm. Photocurrent decays are exponential for high load resistances, with a time constant that corresponds to the RC product of the system. For low load resistances, the transient response becomes non-exponential, with a decay time longer than the RC constant. This behavior is justified by the strong frequency dependence of the device capacitance. By an admittance analysis, we conclude that speed is not limited by deep levels, but by substitutional Mg capture and emission time. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Advances in APDs for UV astronomy Melville P. Ulmer; Ryan M. McClintock; Jose L. Pau; Manijeh Razeghi Proc. SPIE 6686, UV, X-Ray, and Gamma-Ray Space Instrumentation for Astronomy XV, 668605 (September 13, 2007)-- November 13, 2007 ...[Visit Journal] We report the most recent work of our group of the development of avalanche photo diodes based on (Al)GaN. The goal of this group is to achieve single photon counting. In this paper we first give the scientific motivation for making such a device in the context of UV astronomy and then describe current work and plans for future development. The development includes improving the sensitivity to be able to carry out single photon detection and the fabrication of arrays. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Performance analysis of infrared heterojunction phototransistors based on Type-II superlattices Jiakai Li, Arash Dehzangi, Manijeh Razeghi Infrared Physics & Technology Volume 113, March 2021, 103641 ...[Visit Journal] In this study, a comprehensive analysis of the n-p-n infrared heterojunction phototransistors (HPTs)based on Type-II superlattices has been demonstrated. Different kinds of Type-II superlattices were carefully chosen for the emitter, base, and collector to improve the optical performance. The effects of different device parameters include emitter doping concentration, base doping concentration, base thickness and energy bandgap difference between emitter and base on the optical gain of the HPTs have been investigated. By scaling the base thickness to 20 nm, the HPT exhibits an optical gain of 345.3 at 1.6 μm at room temperature. For a 10 μm diameter HPT device, a −3 dB cut-off frequency of 5.1 GHz was achieved under 20 V at 150 K. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Recent advances in LWIR type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodetectors and focal plane arrays at the Center for Quantum Devices M. Razeghi, D. Hoffman, B.M. Nguyen, P.Y. Delaunay, E.K. Huang, and M.Z. Tidrow SPIE Porceedings, Vol. 6940, Orlando, FL 2008, p. 694009-- March 17, 2008 ...[Visit Journal] In recent years, Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photo-detectors have experienced significant improvements in material quality, structural designs, and imaging applications. They now appear to be a possible alternative to the state-of-the-art HgCdTe (MCT) technology in the long and very long wavelength infrared regimes. At the Center for Quantum Devices,we have successfully realized very high quantum efficiency, very high dynamic differential resistance R0A - product LWIR Type – II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes with efficient surface passivation techniques. The demonstration of high quality LWIR Focal Plane Arrays that were 100 % fabricated in - house reaffirms the pioneer position of this university-based laboratory. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Well Resolved Room Temperature Photovoltage Spectra of GaAs-GaInP Quantum Wells and Superlattices Xiaoguang He and Manijeh Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 62 (6)-- February 8, 1993 ...[Visit Journal] We report the first well resolved room‐temperature photovoltage spectra due to the sublevel transitions in the GaInP‐GaAs superlattices and multiquantum wells grown by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Sharp well resolved peaks attributed to exciton absorption of the electron‐to‐light hole and electron‐to‐heavy hole have been observed at room temperature. This indicates that GaAs‐GaInP is a promising material for the application of the modulators, optical switches, and optical bistable divices. Satisfactory agreements between experimental measurements and theoretical results have been obtained. These results demonstrate that photovoltage spectroscopy is a simple, but very powerful tool to study quantum confinement structures. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	High-Performance Focal Plane Arrays Based on InAs-GaSb Superlattices with a 10-micron Cutoff Wavelegth P.Y. Delaunay, B.M. Nguyen, D. Hoffman and M. Razeghi IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, Vol. 44, No. 5, p. 462-467-- May 1, 2008 ...[Visit Journal] We report on the demonstration of a focal plane array based on Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattices grown on N-type GaSb substrate with a 50%-cutoff wavelength at 10 μm. The surface leakage occurring after flip-chip bonding and underfill in the Type-II devices was suppressed using a double heterostructure design. The R₀A of diodes passivated with SiO₂ was 23 Ω·cm² after underfill. A focal plane array hybridized to an Indigo readout integrated circuit demonstrated a noise equivalent temperature difference of 33 mK at 81 K, with an integration time of 0.23 ms. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	High Power 3-12 μm Infrared Lasers: Recent Improvements and Future Trends M. Razeghi, S. Slivken, A. Tahraoui, A. Matlis, and Y.S. Park Physica E: Low-Dimensional Systems and Nanostructures 11 (2-3)-- October 1, 2001 ...[Visit Journal] In this paper, we discuss the progress of quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) grown by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy. Room temperature QCL operation has been reported for lasers emitting between 5-11 μm, with 9-11 μm lasers operating up to 425 K. Laser technology for the 3-5 μm range takes advantage of a strain-balanced active layer design. We also demonstrate record room temperature peak output powers at 9 and 11 μm (2.5 and 1 W, respectively) as well as record low 80K threshold current densities (250 A/cm²) for some laser designs. Preliminary distributed feedback (DFB) results are also presented and exhibit single mode operation for 9 μm lasers at room temperature. [reprint (PDF)]

Nicholas, M. A. Brummell, M. Razeghi, M. A. Poisson; High magnetic field studies of the two‐dimensional electron gas in GaInAs‐InP superlattices. Appl. Phys. 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)]
14.	GaN avalanche photodiodes grown on m-plane freestanding GaN substrate Z. Vashaei, E. Cicek, C. Bayram, R. McClintock and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 96, No. 20, p. 201908-1-- May 17, 2010 ...[Visit Journal] M-plane GaN avalanche p-i-n photodiodes on low dislocation density freestanding m-plane GaN substrates were realized using metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. High quality homoepitaxial m-plane GaN layers were developed; the root-mean-square surface roughness was less than 1 Å and the full-width-at-half-maximum value of the x-ray rocking curve for (1010) diffraction of m-plane GaN epilayer was 32 arcsec. High quality material led to a low reverse-bias dark current of 8.11 pA for 225 μm² mesa photodetectors prior to avalanche breakdown, with the maximum multiplication gain reaching about 8000. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	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)]
14.	Type-II superlattice-based heterojunction phototransistors for high speed applications Jiakai Li, Arash Dehzangi, Donghai Wu, Ryan McClintock, Manijeh Razeghi Infrared Physics and Technology 108, 1033502-- May 2, 2020 ...[Visit Journal] In this study, high speed performance of heterojunction phototransistors (HPTs) based on InAs/GaSb/AlSb type-II superlattice with 30 nm base thickness and 50% cut-off wavelength of 2.0 μm at room temperature are demonstrated. We studied the relationship between -3 dB cut-off frequency of these HPT versus mesa size, applied bias, and collector layer thickness. For 8 μm diameter circular mesas HPT devices with a 0.5 μm collector layer, under 20 V applied bias voltage, we achieved a -3 dB cut-off frequency of 2.8 GHz. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	On the performance and surface passivation of type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes for the very-long- wavelength infrared A. Hood, M. Razeghi, E. Aifer, G.J. Brown Applied Physics Letters 87 (1)-- October 10, 2005 ...[Visit Journal] We demonstrate very-long-wavelength infrared Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes with a cutoff wavelength (λ_c,50%) of 17 μm. We observed a zero-bias, peak Johnson noise-limited detectivity of 7.63×10⁹ cm·Hz^½/W at 77 K with a 90%-10% cutoff width of 17 meV, and quantum efficiency of 30%. Variable area diode zero-bias resistance-area product (R₀A) measurements indicated that silicon dioxide passivation increased surface resistivity by nearly a factor of 5, over unpassivated photodiodes, and increased overall R₀A uniformity. The bulk R₀A at 77 K was found to be 0.08 Ω·cm², with RA increasing more than twofold at 25 mV reverse bias. [reprint (PDF)]

Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 73 (5)-- August 3, 1998 ...[Visit Journal] We report the room temperature operation of 8–12 μm InSbBi long-wavelength infrared photodetectors. The InSbBi/InSb heterostructures were grown on semi-insulating GaAs (001) substrates by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The voltage responsivity at 10.6 μm was about 1.9 mV/W at room temperature and the corresponding Johnson noise limited detectivity was estimated to be about 1.2×10⁶ cm·Hz^½/W. The carrier lifetime derived from the voltage dependent responsivity measurements was about 0.7 ns. [reprint (PDF)]

Solar-Blind Deep UV Avalanche Photodetectors Using Reduced Area Epitaxy Lakshay Gautam , Junhee Lee, Michael Richards, and Manijeh Razeghi , Lakshay Gautam, Manijeh Razeghi, IEEE JOURNAL OF QUANTUM ELECTRONICS, VOL. 59, NO. 6, 10.1109/JQE.2023.3325254 ...[Visit Journal] We report high gain avalanche photodetectors operating in the deep UV wavelength regime. The high gain was leveraged through reduced area epitaxy by patterning AlN on Sapphire substrate. This helps in a substantial reduction of crack formation due to overgrowth on individually isolated AlN mesas. Reproducible gain on the order of 105 was reported for multiple diodes in different areas of 320 × 256 focal plane array. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Kinetics of photoconductivity in n-type GaN photodetector P. Kung, X. Zhang, D. Walker, A. Saxler, J. Piotrowski, A. Rogalski, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 67 (25)-- December 18, 1995 ...[Visit Journal] High-quality ultraviolet photoconductive detectors have been fabricated using GaN layers grown by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on (11⋅0) sapphire substrates. The spectral responsivity remained nearly constant for wavelengths from 200 to 365 nm and dropped sharply by almost three orders of magnitude for wavelengths longer than 365 nm. The kinetics of the photoconductivity have been studied by the measurements of the frequency‐dependent photoresponse and photoconductivity decay. Strongly sublinear response and excitation‐dependent response time have been observed even at relatively low excitation levels. This can be attributed to redistribution of the charge carriers with increased excitation level. [reprint (PDF)]
14.	Very high wall plug efficiency of quantum cascade lasers Y. Bai, S. Slivken, S.R. Darvish, and M. Razeghi SPIE Proceedings, San Francisco, CA (January 22-28, 2010), Vol. 7608, p. 76080F-1-- January 22, 2010 ...[Visit Journal] We demonstrate very high wall plug efficiency (WPE) of mid-infrared quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) in low temperature pulsed mode operation (53%), room temperature pulsed mode operation (23%), and room temperature continuous wave operation (18%). All of these values are the highest to date for any QCLs. The optimization of WPE takes the route of understanding the limiting factors of each sub-efficiency, exploring new designs to overcome the limiting factor, and constantly improving the material quality.
