10.	Ga₂O₃ Metal-oxide-semiconductor Field Effect Transistors on Sapphire Substrate by MOCVD Ji-Hyeon Park, Ryan McClintock and Manijeh Razeghi Semiconductor Science and Technology, Volume 34, Number 8-- June 26, 2019 ...[Visit Journal] Si-doped gallium oxide (Ga₂O₃) thin films were grown on a c-plane sapphire substrate by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) and fabricated into metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs). The Ga₂O₃ MOSFETs exhibited effective gate modulation of the drain current with a complete channel pinch-off for VG < −25 V, and the three-terminal off-state breakdown voltage was 390 V. The device shows a very low gate leakage current (~50 pA/mm), which led to a high on/off ratio of ~10⁸. These transistor characteristics were stable from room temperature to 250 °C [reprint (PDF)]

10.	*High quality AlN and GaN epilayers grown on (001) sapphire, (100) and (111) silicon substrates P. Kung, A. Saxler, X. Zhang, D. Walker, T.C. Wang, I. Ferguson, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 66 (22)-- May 29, 1995** ...[Visit Journal] The growth of high quality AlN and GaN thin films on basal plane sapphire, (100), and (111) silicon substrates is reported using low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. X-ray rocking curve linewidths of about 100 and 30 arcsec were obtained for AlN and GaN on sapphire, respectively. Room‐temperature optical transmission and photoluminescence (of GaN) measurements confirmed the high quality of the films. The luminescence at 300 and 77 K of the GaN films grown on basal plane sapphire, (100), and (111) silicon was compared. [reprint (PDF)]
10.	Passivation of Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodetectors A. Hood, Y. Wei, A. Gin, M. Razeghi, M. Tidrow, and V. Nathan SPIE Conference, Jose, CA, Vol. 5732, pp. 316-- January 22, 2005 ...[Visit Journal] Leakage currents limit the operation of high performance Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiode technology. Surface leakage current becomes a dominant limiting factor, especially at the scale of a focal plane array pixel (< 25 µm) and must be addressed. A reduction of the surface state density, unpinning the Fermi level at the surface, and appropriate termination of the semiconductor crystal are all aims of effective passivation. Recent work in the passivation of Type-II InAs\GaSb superlattice photodetectors with aqueous sulfur-based solutions has resulted in increased R₀A products and reduced dark current densities by reducing the surface trap density. Additionally, photoluminescence of similarly passivated Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice and InAs GaSb bulk material will be discussed. [reprint (PDF)]
10.	Structural and compositional characterization of MOVPE GaN thin films transferred from sapphire to glass substrates using chemical lift-off and room temperature direct wafer bonding and GaN wafer scale MOVPE growth on ZnO-buffered sapphire S. Gautier, T. Moudakir, G. Patriarche, D.J. Rogers, V.E. Sandana, F. Hosseini Teherani, P. Bove, Y. El Gmili, K. Pantzas, Suresh Sundaram, D. Troadec, P.L. Voss, M. Razeghi, A. Ougazzaden Journal of Crystal Growth, Volume 370, Pages 63-67 (2013)-- May 1, 2013 ...[Visit Journal] GaN thin films were grown on ZnO/c-Al₂O₃ with excellent uniformity over 2 in. diameter wafers using a low temperature/pressure MOVPE process with N₂ as a carrier and dimethylhydrazine as an N source. 5 mm×5 mm sections of similar GaN layers were direct-fusion-bonded onto soda lime glass substrates after chemical lift-off from the sapphire substrates. X-Ray Diffraction, Scanning Electron Microscopy and Transmission Electron Microscopy confirmed the bonding of crack-free wurtzite GaN films onto a glass substrate with a very good quality of interface, i.e. continuous/uniform adherence and absence of voids or particle inclusions. Using this approach, (In) GaN based devices can be lifted-off expensive single crystal substrates and bonded onto supports with a better cost-performance profile. Moreover, the approach offers the possibility of reclaiming the expensive sapphire substrate so it can be utilized again for growth. [reprint (PDF)]
10.	MOCVD Growth of ZnO Nanostructures Using Au Droplets as Catalysts V.E. Sandana, D.J. Rogers, F.H. Teherani, R. McClintock, M. Razeghi, H.J. Drouhin, M.C. Clochard, V. Sallett, G. Garry and F. Fayoud SPIE Conference, January 20-25, 2008, San Jose, CA Proceedings – Zinc Oxide Materials and Devices III, Vol. 6895, p. 68950Z-1-6.-- February 1, 2008 ...[Visit Journal] ZnO nanostructures were synthesised by Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition growth on Si (100) and c-Al₂O₃ substrates coated with a 5nm thick layer of Au. The Au coated substrates were annealed in air prior to deposition of ZnO so as to promote formation of Au nanodroplets. The development of the nanodroplets was studied as a function of annealing duration and temperature. Under optimised conditions, a relatively homogeneous distribution of regular Au nanodroplets was obtained. Using the Au nanodroplets as a catalyst, MOCVD growth of ZnO nanostructures was studied. Scanning electron microscopy revealed nanostructures with various forms including commonly observed structures such as nanorods, nanoneedles and nanotubes. Some novel nanostructures were also observed, however, which resembled twist pastries and bevelled-multifaceted table legs. [reprint (PDF)]
10.	Frequency-Shifted Polaron Coupling in Ga0.47In0.53As Heterojunctions R. J. Nicholas, L. C. Brunel, S. Huant, K. Karrai, and J. C. Portal† M. A. Brummell M. Razeghi K. Y. Cheng and A. Y. Cho Phys. Rev. Lett. 55, 883 – 1985-- August 19, 1985* ...[Visit Journal] Frequency-dependent cyclotron-resonance measurements are reported on Ga0.47In0.53As-InP and Ga0.47In0.53A⁢s−A⁢l0.48In0.52As heterojunctions. Discontinuities in the effective mass occur at two frequencies as a result of resonant polaron coupling with both optic-phonon modes present in the Ga0.47In0.53As alloy. The coupling occurs at the frequencies at the TO phonons, in contrast to measurements on bulk materials. Possible changes in the screening and polarization of the optic-phonon modes are considered.

10.	High quantum efficiency mid-wavelength infrared type-II InAs/InAs_1-xSb_x superlattice photodiodes grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition Donghai Wu , Quentin Durlin, Arash Dehzangi , Yiyun Zhang , and Manijeh Razeghi Appl. Phys. Lett. 114, 011104-- January 8, 2019 ...[Visit Journal] We report the growth and characterization of mid-wavelength infrared type-II InAs/InAs_1-xSb_x superlattice photodiodes on GaSb substrates grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. At 150 K, the 50% cut-off wavelength is 5.0 um, the dark current density is 3.3x10⁻⁴ A/cm² under −20mV bias, and the peak responsivity is 1.76A/W corresponding to a quantum efficiency of 55% without anti-reflection coating. A specific detectivity of 1.2x10¹¹cmHz^1/2/W is achieved at 4.0 um under −20mV bias at 150 K. [reprint (PDF)]
10.	Second harmonic generation in hexagonal silicon carbide P.M. Lundquist, W.P. Lin, G.K. Wong, M. Razeghi, and J.B. Ketterson Applied Physics Letters 66 (15)-- April 10, 1995 ...[Visit Journal] We report optical second harmonic generation measurements in single crystal α-SiC of polytype 6H. The angular dependence of second harmonic intensity was consistent with two independent nonvanishing second order susceptibility components, as expected for a crystal with hexagonal symmetry. For the fundamental wavelength of 1.064 μm the magnitudes of the two components were determined to be χ_zzz⁽²⁾=±1.2×10⁻⁷ and χ_zxx⁽²⁾=∓1.2×10⁻⁸ esu. The corresponding linear electro‐optic coefficient computed from this value is r^zzz=±100 pm/V. The wavelength dependence of the nonlinear susceptibility was examined for second harmonic wavelengths between the bandgap (400 nm) and the red (700 nm), and was found to be relatively uniform over this region. The refractory nature of this compound and its large nonlinear optical coefficients make it an attractive candidate for high power nonlinear optical waveguide applications. [reprint (PDF)]
10.	Investigation of 0.8 μm InGaAsP-GaAs laser diodes with Multiple Quantum Wells J. Diaz, H. Yi, S. Kim, M. Erdtmann, L.J. Wang, I. Eliashevich, E. Bigan and M. Razeghi Optoelectronic Integrated Circuit Materials, Physics and Devices, SPIE Conference, San Jose, CA; Proceedings, Vol. 2397-- February 6, 1995 ...[Visit Journal] In this paper, we studied the effects of the active region structure (one, two and three quantum wells with same total thickness) for high-power InGaAsP-GaAs separate confinement heterostructure lasers emitting at 0.8 μm wavelength. Experimental results for the lasers grown by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition show excellent agreement with the theoretical model. Total output power of 47 W from an uncoated 1 cm-wide laser bar was achieved in quasi-continuous wave operation [reprint (PDF)]
10.	Characterization and Analysis of Single-Mode High-Power CW Quantum-Cascade Laser W.W. Bewley, I. Vurgaftman, C.S. Kim, J.R. Meyer, J. Nguyen, A. Evans, J.S. Yu, S.R. Darvish, S. Slivken, and M. Razeghi Journal of Applied Physics 98-- October 15, 2005 ...[Visit Journal] We measured and modeled the performance characteristics of a distributed-feedback quantum-cascade laser exhibiting high-power continuous-wave (CW) operation in a single spectral mode at λ~4.8 µm and temperatures up to 333 K. The sidemode suppression ratio exceeds 25 dB, and the emission remains robustly single mode at all currents and temperatures tested. CW output powers of 99 mW at 298 K and 357 mW at 200 K are obtained at currents well below the thermal rollover point. The slope efficiency and subthreshold amplified spontaneous emission spectra are shown to be consistent with a coupling coefficient of no more than κL ~ 4–5, which is substantially lower than the estimate of 9 based on the nominal grating fabrication parameters.

10.	Hybrid green LEDs based on n-ZnO/(InGaN/GaN) multi-quantum-wells/p-GaN C. Bayram, F. Hosseini Teherani, D.J. Rogers and M. Razeghi SPIE Proceedings, San Jose, CA Volume 7217-0P-- January 26, 2009 ...[Visit Journal] Hybrid green light-emitting diodes (LEDs) comprised of n-ZnO/(InGaN/GaN) multi-quantum-wells/p-GaN were grown on semi-insulating AlN/sapphire using pulsed laser deposition for the n-ZnO and metal organic chemical vapor deposition for the other layers. X-ray diffraction revealed that high crystallographic quality was preserved after the n- ZnO growth. LEDs showed a turn-on voltage of 2.5 V and a room temperature electroluminescence (EL) centered at 510 nm. A blueshift and narrowing of the EL peak with increasing current was attributed to bandgap renormalization. The results indicate that hybrid LED structures could hold the prospect for the development of green LEDs with superior performance. [reprint (PDF)]
10.	AlN/GaN double-barrier resonant tunneling diodes grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition C. Bayram, Z. Vashaei and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 96, No. 4, p. 042103-1-- January 25, 2010 ...[Visit Journal] AlN/GaN double-barrier resonant tunneling diodes (RTDs) were grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition on sapphire. RTDs were fabricated via standard processing steps. RTDs demonstrate a clear negative differential resistance (NDR) at room temperature (RT). The NDR was observed around 4.7 V with a peak current density of 59 kA/cm² and a peak-to-valley ratio of 1.6 at RT. Dislocation-free material is shown to be the key for the performance of GaN RTDs.

10.	Room temperature quantum cascade lasers with 22% wall plug efficiency in continuous-wave operation F. Wang, S. Slivken, D. H. Wu, and M. Razeghi Optics Express Vol. 28, Issue 12, pp. 17532-17538-- June 8, 2020 ...[Visit Journal] We report the demonstration of quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) with improved eﬃciency emitting at a wavelength of 4.9 µm in pulsed and continuous-wave(CW)operation. Based on an established design and guided by simulation, the number of QCL-emitting stages is increased in order to realize a 29.3% wall plug eﬃciency (WPE) in pulsed operation at room temperature. With proper fabrication and packaging, a 5-mm-long, 8-µm-wide QCL with a buried ridge waveguide is capable of 22% CW WPE and 5.6 W CW output power at room temperature. This corresponds to an extremely high optical density at the output facet of ∼35 MW/cm², without any damage. [reprint (PDF)]
10.	High‐quality GaAs/Ga0.49In0.51P superlattices grown on GaAs and silicon substrates by low‐pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition Available M. Razeghi; Ph. Maurel; F. Omnes; M. Defour; C. Boothroyd; W. M. Stobbs; M. Kelly J. Appl. Phys. 63, 4511–4514 (1988) -- May 1, 1988 ...[Visit Journal] We report the successful growth of Ga0.49 Iuo.5 ! P-GaAs superlattices on GaAs and Si substrates by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The high quality of the structure grown on GaAs and silicon substrates has been evidenced by transmission electron microscopy photographs, that show very sharp interfaces between GaAs wells and Gao.49InO.51 P barriers, with perfect control of thicknesses and compositions. Classical Hall measurements performed on the sample further demonstrated the presence of a twodimensional electron ga.<; with a mobility at T = 4 K , fL (4 K) = 50000 cm2 1V Is, and a carrier concentration n _ (4 K) = 2,9 X 1011 em -2. GaAs/Gao.49 InO. 51 P superlattices have been used, as well as buffer layer in order to grow GaAs on silicon substrates. Mirrorlike single-crystal GaAs has thus been obtained. A GaInP IGaAs heterostructure with electron HaH mobility as high as 6000 cm2 /V Is at 300 K and 80000 cm2 /V Is at 4 K has been grown, which is the highest mobility that has yet been reported for these materials, [reprint (PDF)]
10.	High Performance InAs/InAsSb Type-II Superlattice Mid-Wavelength Infrared Photodetectors with Double Barrier Donghai Wu, Jiakai Li, Arash Dehzangi, Manijeh Razeghi Infrared Physics &Technology 103439-- July 18, 2020 ...[Visit Journal] By introducing a double barrier design, a high performance InAs/InAsSb type-II superlattice mid-wavelength infrared photodetector has been demonstrated. The photodetector exhibits a cut-off wavelength of ~4.50 µm at 150 K. At 150 K and −120 mV applied bias, the photodetector exhibits a dark current density of 1.21 × 10−5 A/cm2, a quantum efficiency of 45% at peak responsivity (~3.95 µm), and a specific detectivity of 6.9 × 1011 cm·Hz1/2/W. The photodetector shows background-limited operating temperature up to 160 K. [reprint (PDF)]
10.	Reliable High-Power Uncoated Al-free InGaAsP/GaAs Lasers for Cost-Sensitive Optical Communication and Processing Applications M. Razeghi SPIE Conference, Dallas, TX, -- November 4, 1997 ...[Visit Journal] Unlike InP-based systems for long-distance communication applications, GaAs-based optoelectronic systems mostly for local-area network, optical interconnection or optical computing are very cost-sensitive because often these optoelectronic devices constitute most of the cost for these applications and fewer users share the cost. Thus besides technical issues, the processing cost should be addressed in the selection of materials and fabrication methods. We discuss a number of major advantages of Al-free InGaAsP/GaAs lasers for these applications, such as not coating- requirement, low cost, high long-term reliability, high performance. We discuss recent preliminary results of Al- free lasers as a first step toward these optoelectronic applications. [reprint (PDF)]
10.	Electroluminescence at 375 nm from a Zn0/GaN:Mg/c-Al₂O₃ heterojunction light emitting diodes D.J. Rogers, F.Hosseini Teherani, A. Yasan, K. Minder, P. Kung, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters, 88 (14)-- April 13, 2006 ...[Visit Journal] n-ZnO/p-GaN:Mg heterojunction light emitting diode (LED) mesas were fabricated on c-Al₂O₃ substrates using pulsed laser deposition for the ZnO and metal organic chemical vapor deposition for the GaN:Mg. Room temperature (RT) photoluminescence (PL) showed an intense main peak at 375 nm and a negligibly low green emission indicative of a near band edge excitonic emission from a ZnO layer with low dislocation/defect density. The LEDs showed I-V characteristics confirming a rectifying diode behavior and a RT electroluminescence (EL) peaked at about 375 nm. [reprint (PDF)]
10.	Persistent photoconductivity and the quantized Hall effect in In0.53Ga0.47As/InP heterostructures H. P. Wei; D. C. Tsui; M. Razeghi H. P. Wei, D. C. Tsui, M. Razeghi; Persistent photoconductivity and the quantized Hall effect in In0.53Ga0.47As/InP heterostructures. Appl. Phys. Lett. 15 September 1984; 45 (6): 666–668.-- September 15, 1984 ...[Visit Journal] A persistent photoconductivity is observed in the transport of the high mobility two‐dimensional electron gas in In0.53Ga0.47 As/InP heterostructures. Low field Hall measurements from 300 to 4.2 K and the quantized Hall effect in the high field limit are studied with radiation from visible and infrared light‐emitting diodes. Our results demonstrate conclusively that the effect is due to photogeneration of electron‐hole pairs in the heterostructure and trapping of holes in the In0.53Ga0.47 As. [reprint (PDF)]
10.	Gain and recombination dynamics of quantum-dot infrared photodetectors H. Lim, B. Movaghar, S. Tsao, M. Taguchi, W. Zhang, A.A. Quivy, and M. Razeghi Physical Review B, 74 (20)-- November 15, 2006 ...[Visit Journal] In this paper we present a theory of diffusion and recombination in QDIPs which is an attempt to explain the recently reported values of gain in these devices. We allow the kinetics to encompass both the diffusion and capture rate limited regimes of carrier relaxation using rigorous random walk and diffusion methods. The photoconductive gains are calculated and compared with the experimental values obtained from InGaAs/InGaP/GaAs and InAs/InP QDIPs using the generation-recombination noise analysis.

10.	Toward realizing high power semiconductor terahertz laser sources at room temperature Manijeh Razeghi Proc. SPIE 8023, Terahertz Physics, Devices, and Systems V: Advance Applications in Industry and Defense, 802302 (May 25, 2011)-- May 25, 2011 ...[Visit Journal] The terahertz (THz) spectral range offers promising applications in science, industry, and military. THz penetration through nonconductors (fabrics, wood, plastic) enables a more efficient way of performing security checks (for example at airports), as illegal drugs and explosives could be detected. Being a non-ionizing radiation, THz radiation is environment-friendly enabling a safer analysis environment than conventional X-ray based techniques. However, the lack of a compact room temperature THz laser source greatly hinders mass deployment of THz systems in security check points and medical centers. In the past decade, tremendous development has been made in GaAs/AlGaAs based THz Quantum Cascade Laser (QCLs), with maximum operating temperatures close to 200 K (without magnetic field). However, higher temperature operation is severely limited by a small LO-phonon energy (∼ 36 meV) in this material system. With a much larger LO-phonon energy of ∼ 90 meV, III-Nitrides are promising candidates for room temperature THz lasers. However, realizing high quality material for GaN-based intersubband devices presents a significant challenge. Advances with this approach will be presented. Alternatively, recent demonstration of InP based mid-infrared QCLs with extremely high peak power of 120 W at room temperature opens up the possibility of producing high power THz emission with difference frequency generation through two mid-infrared wavelengths.

10.	Pressure-induced depopulation of the first excited subband in GaInAs/InP heterojunctions D Gauthier, J C Portal and M Razeghi D Gauthier et al 1989 Semicond. Sci. Technol. 4 218-- December 8, 1988 ...[Visit Journal] Following our previous work on (GalnAs)/(lnP) heterojunctions under hydrostatic pressure we present recent experimental results where the evidence for the total depopulation of the first excited electric subband with pressure is demonstrated. The total electron concentration decreases at a rate of 2.7% kbar”, much higher than in previous experiments. The experimental situation can be fitted with the triangular-well approximation if we both assume the change with pressure of the conduction band discontinuity AE, and the deepening of a deep impurity level with activation energy of the order 160 meV at zero pressure.

10.	Extended electrical tuning of quantum cascade lasers with digital concatenated gratings S. Slivken, N. Bandyopadhyay, Y. Bai, Q. Y. Lu, and M. Razeghi Appl. Phys. Lett. 103, 231110 (2013)-- December 6, 2013 ...[Visit Journal] In this report, the sampled grating distributed feedback laser architecture is modified with digital concatenated gratings to partially compensate for the wavelength dependence of optical gain in a standard high efficiency quantum cascade laser core. This allows equalization of laser threshold over a wide wavelength range and demonstration of wide electrical tuning. With only two control currents, a full tuning range of 500 nm (236 cm⁻¹) has been demonstrated. Emission is single mode, with a side mode suppression of >20 dB. [reprint (PDF)]
10.	High-performance, continuous-wave quantum-cascade lasers operating up to 85° C at λ ~ 8.8 μm J.S. Yu, S. Slivken, A. Evans, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics A: Materials Science & Processing, Vo. 93, No. 2, p. 405-408-- November 1, 2008 ...[Visit Journal] High-temperature, high-power, and continuous-wave (CW) operation of quantum-cascade lasers with 35 active/injector stages at λ∼8.85 μm above room temperature is achieved without using a buried heterostructure. At this long wavelength, the use of a wider ridge waveguide in an epilayer-down bonding scheme leads to a superior performance of the laser. For a high-reflectivity-coated 21 μm×3 mm laser, the output power of 237 mW and the threshold current density of 1.44 kA·cm^-2 at 298 K under CW mode are obtained with a maximum wall-plug efficiency of 1.7%. Further improvements were observed by using a 4-mm-long cavity. The device exhibits 294 mW of output power at 298 K and it operates at a high temperature, even up to 358 K (85°C). The full widths at half-maximum of the laser beam in CW operation for the parallel and the perpendicular far-field patterns are 25°and 63°, respectively. [reprint (PDF)]
