InGaAsP/InAlAsP multiple quantum wells (MQWs) for 1 μm wavelength region optical modulators were proposed and were grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Optical properties, such as photoluminescence and optical absorption of InAlAsP layers, InGaAs/InAlAsP MQW layers and InGaAsP/InAlAsP MQW layers were studied in detail. A clear absorption edge was observed at about 1.06 μm for InGaAsP/InAlAsP MQW layers.

Highly efficient surface normal spatial light modulators (SLMs) using ultrahigh purity GaAs layers (30 μm thick) grown on (100) — oriented n+ — GaAs substrate by liquid phase epitaxy (LPE) method have been realized. The extinction ratio of 25 dB has been demonstrated with a low — driving voltage (32 V) at 895 nm, based on electroabsorption (EA) effect. Very large depletion length over 150 μm is confirmed by analyzing the extinction ratio and capacitance- voltage (C-V) measurements. The calculated value of impurity concentration is low (≈1012 cm−3) and indicates donor and accepter in the device are highly compensated.

We have compared the photoluminescence (PL) spectra of InAs/InGaAsP/InP quantum dots (QD) structures with that of InGaAs/InP quantum well (QW) structures by changing the incident angle for TE polarized excitation light. From the results, we have found the shift of the PL peak wavelength is different between QD and QW. Then, we have measured the change in the FWHM of the PL spectrum against the excitation light intensity. The increment rate of the FWHM for QD is larger than that for QW. From the above, we have supposed each QD couples electrically to form a continuous band structure and the quantum levels broaden, due to adjacent QD whose size are variant. It means the band filling effect for the bulk sample occurs in QD samples.

By means of Monte Carlo simulations we show the feasibility of asymmetric nonlinear planar GaN nanodiodes for the development of Gunn oscillations. For channel lengths about 1 μm, oscillation frequencies around 400 GHz are predicted, reaching more than 600 GHz for 0.5 μm. The DC to AC conversion efficiency is found to be higher than 1% for the fundamental and second harmonic frequencies in GaN diodes. By simulating two diodes in parallel, we analyze the possible loss of efficiency due to the technological dispersion in channel lengths.

Antimonide-based heterostructural p-channel HFET epitaxies consisting of an In0.44Ga0.56Sb quantum well located between AlSb barriers were developed by molecular beam epitaxy. The In0.44Ga0.56Sb channel layer was compressively strained to enhance hole mobility. Room-temperature Hall measurements to the as-grown materials exhibited a hole mobility as high as 895 cm2/V s. Ti/Pt/Au and Pt/Ti/Pt/Au metals were utilized in Schottky gate metallization processes for evaluating their effects on the device performance. Considering the diffusivity of Pt metals, the devices with as-deposited and annealed Pt-based gates were characterized simultaneously and compared with the ones with Ti-based gates. The devices with Ti-based gates yielded superior dc and rf performances to those with Pt-based gates.

We demonstrated to form InP porous structures on n-type epitaxial layers grown on p-type (001) substrates. The high-density array of straight pores with 150nm diameter and 5000nm depth was formed by the electrochemical anodization process, where the pore depth could be controlled by the anodization time in the n-type layer. The present p-n InP porous structures show the low optical reflectance in UV-, visible- and near-infrared region. The current transport properties clearly show the rectifying behavior. These features are very promising for practical application to high-efficiency photo-sensitive devices.

We demonstrated magnetically excited magnetic resonances with negative magnetic permeability in InP-based optical waveguide with an array of gold split-ring resonators (SRRs). In transmission characteristics of the device, an incident-polarization-dependent absorption feature was clearly observed at 1575 nm. The experimental results show that the SRR array interacted with the magnetic field of the propagating light in the device, producing magnetic resonance at optical frequencies.

In this work, an analytic study of DC characteristics based on the drift-diffusion approach has been performed for the InP/GaAsSb DHBTs. The current transport of InP/GaAsSb/InP DHBTs has been investigated focusing the device temperature dependence. Our simulation results show that, at room temperature, the DC characteristics of the InP/GaAsSb/InP DHBTs is similar to the conventional InP-based HBT using InGaAs as the base layer although a type-II energy band alignment is presented in the InP/GaAsSb HBT. However, due to different mechanisms for the electron injection from the emitter induced by the different conduction band alignments, the InP/GaAsSb HBTs may present a different temperature dependent behavior in term of device current gain as compared to the conventional InP/InGaAs HBTs. Higher current gain could be achieved by the InP/GaAsSb HBTs at elevated temperature.

Based on a theoretical analysis of internal quantum efficiency of a thin-film GaInAsP/InP lateral current injection type Fabry-Perot laser prepared on the semi-insulating InP substrate, its fabrication process was modified. As the results, the internal quantum efficiency was improved by a factor of 2 and the waveguide loss was reduced to 2/3 in comparison with previously reported devices. A threshold current of 11 mA and an external differential quantum efficiency of 33% were obtained for the device with 720 µm-long cavity and 1.7 µm-wide stripe under a room temperature continuous-wave condition.
