Demonstration of mid-wavelength infrared nBn photodetectors based on type-II InAs/InAs_1-xSb_x superlattice grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition Donghai Wu, Arash Dehzangi, and Manijeh Razeghi Appl. Phys. Lett. 115, 061102-- August 6, 2019 ...[Visit Journal] We report design, growth, and characterization of midwavelength infrared nBn photodetectors based on a type-II InAs/InAs_1-xSb_x superlattice on a GaSb substrate grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. An InAs/AlAs_1-ySb_y/InAs/InAs_1-xSb_x superlattice design was used as the large bandgap electron barrier in the photodetectors.

18.	Modeling of Type-II InAs/GaSb Superlattices Using Empirical Tight-Binding Method and Interface Engineering Y. Wei and M. Razeghi Physical Review B, 69 (8)-- February 15, 2004 ...[Visit Journal] We report the most recent work on the modeling of type-II InAs/GaSb superlattices using the empirical tight binding method in an sp3s* basis. After taking into account the antimony segregation in the InAs layers, the modeling accuracy of the band gap has been improved. Our calculations agree with our experimental results within a certain growth uncertainty. In addition, we introduce the concept of Ga_xIn_1-x type interface engineering in order to reduce the lattice mismatch between the superlattice and the GaSb (001) substrate to improve the overall superlattice material quality.

18.	Multi-color 4–20 μm In-P-based Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors C. Jelen, S. Slivken, G.J. Brown, and M. Razeghi SPIE Conference, San Jose, CA, -- January 27, 1999 ...[Visit Journal] In order to tune the wavelength of lattice-matched QWIP detectors over the range from 4 - 20 &mum, new designs are demonstrated for the first time which combine InGaAlAs and InGaAsP layers lattice-matched to InP and grown by gas-source molecular beam epitaxy. We demonstrate the first long-wavelength quantum well infrared photodetectors using the lattice-matched n-doped InGaAlAs/InP materials system. Samples with AlAs mole fractions of 0.0, 0.1, and 0.15 result in cutoff wavelengths of 8.5, 13.3, and 19.4 μm, respectively. A 45 degree facet coupled illumination responsivity of R equals 0.37 A/W and detectivity of D*(λ) equals 1x10⁹ cm·Hz^½·W^-1 at T = 77 K, for a cutoff wavelength λ_c equals 13.3 μm have been achieved. Based on the measured intersubband photoresponse wavelength, a null conduction band offset is expected for In_0.52Ga_0.21Al_0.27As/InP heterojunctions. We also report quantum well infrared photodetector structures of In_0.53Ga_0.47As/Al_0.48In_0.52As grown on InP substrate with photoresponse at 4 μm suitable for mid-wavelength infrared detectors. These detectors exhibit a constant peak responsivity of 30 mA/W independent of temperature in the range from T equals 77 K to T equals 200 K. Combining these two materials, we report the first multispectral detectors that combine lattice-matched quantum wells of InGaAs/InAlAs and InGaAs/InP. Utilizing two contacts, a voltage tunable detector with (lambda) p equals 8 micrometer at a bias of V equals 5 V and λ_p equals 4 μm at V equals 10 V is demonstrated. [reprint (PDF)]
18.	Focal plane arrays based on quantum dot infrared photodetectors Manijeh Razeghi; Wei Zhang; Ho-Chul Lim; Stanley Tsao; John Szafraniec; Maho Taguchi; Bijan Movaghar Proc. SPIE 5838, Nanotechnology II, 125 (June 28, 2005);-- June 28, 2005 ...[Visit Journal] Here we report the first demonstrations of infrared focal plane array (FPA) based on GaAs and InP based quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs). QDIPs are extension of quantum well infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) and are predicted to outperform QWIPs due to their potential advantages including normally incident absorption, higher responsivity and high temperature operation. Two material systems have been studied: InGaAs/InGaP QDIPs on GaAs substrates and InAs QDIP on InP substrates. An InGaAs/InGaP QDIP has been grown on GaAs substrate by LP-MOCVD. Photoresponse was observed at temperatures up to 200 K with a peak wavelength of 4.7 μm and cutoff wavelength of 5.2 μm. A detectivity of 1.2x10¹¹ cm·Hz^1/2/W was obtained at T=77 K and bias of -0.9 V, which is the highest for QDIPs grown by MOCVD. An InAs QDIP structure has also been grown on InP substrate by LP-MOCVD. Photoresponse of normal incidence was observed at temperature up to 160K with a peak wavelength of 6.4 μm and cutoff wavelength of 6.6 μm. A detectivity of 1.0x10¹⁰ cm·Hz^1/2/W was obtained at 77K at biases of -1.1 V, which is the first and highest detectivity reported for QDIP on InP substrate. 256×256 detector arrays were fabricated first time in the world for both the GaAs and InP based QDIPs. Dry etching and indium bump bonding were used to hybridize the arrays to a Litton readout integrated circuit. For the InGaAs/InGaP QDIP FPA, thermal imaging was achieved at temperatures up to 120 K. At T=77K, the noise equivalent temperature difference (NEDT) was measured as 0.509K with a 300K background and f/2.3 optics. For the InP based QDIPs, thermal imaging was achieved at 77 K.

(b) 108, 175 (1981)-- April 10, 2010 ...[Visit Journal] The temperature dependence of the EPR line width of the Mn2+ and Gd3+ in Pb,(PO,), is investigated from -270 to 500 "C. At the first-order ferroelastic transition point (180 "C), an abrupt change in the fine-structure splitting as well as in the resonance line width is observed. Various contributions to fine structure D and E parameters of Mn2+ and Gd3+ are computed, using a point-multipole model. For temperatures near to Tc the correlation time of the fluctuations is estimated to be greater than Die Temperaturabhangigkeit der EPR-Linienbreite von Mn2+,'und Gd3+ in Pb,(PO,), wird zwischen -270 und 500 "C untersucht. Am ferroelastischen vbergangspunkt erster Ordnung (180 "C) wird eine abrupte Anderung der Feinstrukturaufspaltung sowie der Linienbreite der Resonanzlinien beobachtet. Verschiedene Beitrage zu den Feinstrukturparametern D und E von Mn2+ und Gd3+ werden mittels eines Punkt-Multipol-Modells berechnet. Fur Temperaturen in der Nahe von T, wird die Korrelationszeit der Fluktuationen eu groI3er als s. s bestimmt. [reprint (PDF)]
18.	RT-CW: widely tunable semiconductor THz QCL sources M. Razeghi; Q. Y. Lu Proceedings Volume 9934, Terahertz Emitters, Receivers, and Applications -- September 26, 2016 ...[Visit Journal] Distinctive position of Terahertz (THz) frequencies (ν~0.3 -10 THz) in the electromagnetic spectrum with their lower quantum energy compared to IR and higher frequency compared to microwave range allows for many potential applications unique to them. Especially in the security side of the THz sensing applications, the distinct absorption spectra of explosives and related compounds in the range of 0.1–5 THz makes THz technology a competitive technique for detecting hidden explosives. A compact, high power, room temperature continuous wave terahertz source emitting in a wide frequency range will greatly boost the THz applications for the diagnosis and detection of explosives. Here we present a new strong-coupled strain-balanced quantum cascade laser design for efficient THz generation based intracavity DFG. Room temperature continuous wave operation with electrical frequency tuning range of 2.06-4.35 THz is demonstrated [reprint (PDF)]
18.	Photonic crystal distributed feedback quantum cascade lasers with 12 W output power Y. Bai, B. Gokden, S.R. Darvish, S. Slivken, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 95, No. 3-- July 20, 2009 ...[Visit Journal] We demonstrate room temperature, high power, and diffraction limited operation of photonic crystal distributed feedback (PCDFB) quantum cascade lasers emitting around 4.7 µm. PCDFB gratings with three distinctive periods are fabricated on the same wafer. Peak output power up to 12 W is demonstrated. Lasers with different periods show expected wavelength shifts according to the design. Dual mode spectra are attributed to a purer index coupling by putting the grating layer 100 nm away from the laser core. Single lobed diffraction limited far field profiles are observed.

18.	UVC communication with (Al)Ga₂O₃ photodetectors & a Q-switched solid-state laser including demonstration of a Rayleigh-scattering-based NLOS link D. Rogers, V. Sandana, M. Chamberlin, F. Teherani, S. Prein, and M. Razeghi OPTO (SPIE, 2026), Vol. PC13897 ...[Visit Journal] This work reports solar-blind ultraviolet-C (UVC) optical communication links implemented using epitaxial (Al)Ga₂O₃ metal–semiconductor–metal photodetectors paired with a wavelength-matched, passively Q-switched 213 nm solid-state laser. The photodetectors, originally developed for space-based monitoring of the Herzberg continuum, combine high solar blindness, femtoampere-level dark noise, and robust operation under demanding conditions. Both line-of-sight (LOS) and non-line-of-sight (NLOS) communication geometries are investigated. The detectors exhibit a sharp UVC responsivity peak near 215 nm, a solar-rejection ratio exceeding 2 × 10⁴, and low dark signals enabled by bandgap engineering via aluminum alloying. These characteristics allow LOS communication at distances up to 110 m with sub-20 ms response times, as well as detection of NLOS optical signals at the femtowatt level under near-zero-bias (photovoltaic) operating conditions. For off-axis angles of 15°, the measured NLOS photocurrents are in quantitative agreement with single-scatter Rayleigh predictions, while signals at 45° fall below the detection threshold, consistent with reduced scattering volume and angular dependence. To the authors’ knowledge, this constitutes the first experimental demonstration of Rayleigh-scattering-based NLOS UVC communication using Ga₂O₃ photodetectors, extending prior Ga₂O₃ communication studies beyond pure LOS configurations. The results highlight the potential of Ga₂O₃-based sensors and compact solid-state UVC sources for alignment-tolerant and covert optical communication links in both terrestrial and space -relevant environments.

18.	Near bulk-limited R0A of long-wavelength infrared type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes with polyimide surface passivation Andrew Hood, Pierre-Yves Delaunay, Darin Hoffman, Binh-Minh Nguyen, Yajun Wei, Manijeh Razeghi, and Vaidya Nathan Applied Physics Letters 90, 233513-- June 4, 2007 ...[Visit Journal] Effective surface passivation of Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes with cutoff wavelengths in the long-wavelength infrared is presented. A stable passivation layer, the electrical properties of which do not change as a function of the ambient environment nor time, has been prepared by a solvent-based surface preparation, vacuum desorption, and the application of an insulating polyimide layer. Passivated photodiodes, with dimensions ranging from 400×400 to 25×25 µm², with a cutoff wavelength of ~11 µm, exhibited near bulk-limited R₀A values of ~12 Ω·cm², surface resistivities in excess of 10⁴ Ω·cm, and very uniform current-voltage behavior at 77 K.

18.	Effects of well width and growth temperature on optical and structural characteristics of AlN/GaN superlattices grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition C. Bayram, N. Pere-Laperne, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 95, No. 20, p. 201906-1-- November 16, 2009 ...[Visit Journal] AlN/GaN superlattices (SLs) employing various well widths (from 1.5 to 7.0 nm) are grown by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition technique at various growth temperatures (Ts) (from 900 to 1035 °C). The photoluminescence (PL), x-ray diffraction, and intersubband (ISB) absorption characteristics of these SLs and their dependency on well width and growth temperature are investigated. Superlattices with thinner wells (grown at the same Ts) or grown at lower Ts (employing the same well width) are shown to demonstrate higher strain effects leading to a higher PL energy and ISB absorption energy. Simulations are employed to explain the experimental observations. ISB absorptions from 1.04 to 2.15 µm are demonstrated via controlling well width and growth temperature. [reprint (PDF)]
18.	Al_xGa_1-xN (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) Ultraviolet Photodetectors Grown on Sapphire by Metal-organic Chemical-vapor Deposition D. Walker, X. Zhang, A. Saxler, P. Kung, J. Xu, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 70 (8)-- February 24, 1997 ...[Visit Journal] Al_xGa_1–xN (0 ≤ x ≤ 1) ultraviolet photoconductors with cutoff wavelengths from 365 to 200 nm have been fabricated and characterized. The maximum detectivity reached 5.5 × 10⁸ cm·Hz^1/2/W at a modulating frequency of 14 Hz. The effective majority carrier lifetime in Al_xGa_1–xN materials, derived from frequency-dependent photoconductivity measurements, has been estimated to be from 6 to 35 ms. The frequency-dependent noise spectrum shows that it is dominated by Johnson noise at high frequencies for low-Al-composition samples. [reprint (PDF)]
18.	III-Nitride Optoelectronic Devices: From ultraviolet detectors and visible emitters towards terahertz intersubband devices M. Razeghi, C. Bayram, Z. Vashaei, E. Cicek and R. McClintock IEEE Photonics Society 23rd Annual Meeting, November 7-10, 2010, Denver, CO, Proceedings, p. 351-352-- January 20, 2011 ...[Visit Journal] III-nitride optoelectronic devices are discussed.

18.	The importance of band alignment in VLWIR type-II InAs/GaSb heterodiodes containing the M-structure barrier D. Hoffman, B.M. Nguyen, E.K. Huang, P.Y. Delaunay, S. Bogdanov, P. Manukar, M. Razeghi, and V. Nathan SPIE Proceedings, San Jose, CA Volume 7222-15-- January 26, 2009 ...[Visit Journal] The Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photon detector is an attractive alternative to HgCdTe photodiodes and QWIPS. The use of p+ - pi - M - N+ heterodiode allows for greater flexibility in enhancing the device performance. The utilization of the Empirical Tight Binding method gives the band structure of the InAs/GaSb superlattice and the new M- structure (InAs/GaSb/AlSb/GaSb) superlattice allowing for the band alignment between the binary superlattice and the M- superlattice to be determined and see how it affects the optical performance. Then by modifying the doping level of the M- superlattice an optimal level can be determined to achieve high detectivity, by simultaneously improving both photo-response and reducing dark current for devices with cutoffs greater than 14.5 µm.

18.	Very high quantum efficiency in type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiode with cutoff of 12 µm B.M. Nguyen, D. Hoffman, Y. Wei, P.Y. Delaunay, A. Hood and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 90, No. 23, p. 231108-1-- June 4, 2007 ...[Visit Journal] The authors report the dependence of the quantum efficiency on device thickness of Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodetectors with a cutoff wavelength around 12 µm. The quantum efficiency and responsivity show a clear delineation in comparison to the device thickness. An external single-pass quantum efficiency of 54% is obtained for a 12 µm cutoff wavelength photodiodes with a -region thickness of 6.0 µm. The R₀A value is kept stable for the range of structure thicknesses allowing for a specific detectivity (2.2×10¹¹ cm·Hz^½/W). [reprint (PDF)]
18.	Ultrafast Pulse Generation from Quantum Cascade Lasers Feihu Wang, Xiaoqiong Qi, Zhichao Chen, Manijeh Razeghi, and Sukhdeep Dhillon Wang, F.; Qi, X.; Chen, Z.; Razeghi, M.; Dhillon, S. Ultrafast Pulse Generation from Quantum Cascade Lasers. Micromachines 2022, 13, 2063. https://doi.org/10.3390/ mi13122063 ...[Visit Journal] Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) have broken the spectral barriers of semiconductor lasers and enabled a range of applications in the mid-infrared (MIR) and terahertz (THz) regimes. However, until recently, generating ultrashort and intense pulses from QCLs has been difficult. This would be useful to study ultrafast processes in MIR and THz using the targeted wavelength-by-design properties of QCLs. Since the first demonstration in 2009, mode-locking of QCLs has undergone considerable development in the past decade, which includes revealing the underlying mechanism of pulse formation, the development of an ultrafast THz detection technique, and the invention of novel pulse compression technology, etc. Here, we review the history and recent progress of ultrafast pulse generation from QCLs in both the THz and MIR regimes.

18.	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)]
18.	Beam Steering in High-Power CW Quantum Cascade Lasers W.W. Bewley, J.R. Lindle, C.S. Kim, I. Vurgaftman, J.R. Meyer, A.J. Evans, J.S. Yu, S. Slivken, and M. Razeghi IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics, 41 (6)-- June 1, 2005 ...[Visit Journal] We report the light-current (L-I), spectral, and far-field characteristics of quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) with seven different wavelengths in the λ=4.3 to 6.3 μm range. In continuous-wave (CW) mode, the narrow-stripe (≈13 μm) epitaxial- side-up devices operated at temperatures up to 340 K, while at 295 K the CW output power was as high as 640 mW with a wallplug efficiency of 4.5%. All devices with λ≥4.7 μm achieved room-temperature CW operation, and at T=200 K several produced powers exceeding 1 W with ≈10% wallplug efficiency. The data indicated both spectral and spatial instabilities of the optical modes. For example, minor variations of the current often produced nonmonotonic hopping between spectra with envelopes as narrow as 5-10 nm or as broad as 200-250 nm. Bistable beam steering, by far-field angles of up to ±12° from the facet normal, also occurred, although even in extreme cases the beam quality never became worse than twice the diffraction limit. The observed steering is consistent with a theory for interference and beating between the two lowest order lateral modes. We also describe simulations of a wide-stripe photonic-crystal distributed-feedback QCL, which based on the current material quality is projected to emit multiple watts of CW power into a single-mode beam at T=200 K.

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)]

The first fabrication of n- and p-type Ga0.49In0.51P/Ga(In)As lattice matched and strained HIGFET structures grown by MOCVD M Razeghi, F Omnes, M Defour, P Maurel, P Bove, Y J Chan and D Pavlidis M Razeghi et al 1990 Semicond. Sci. Technol. 5 274-- December 11, 1989 ...[Visit Journal] The authors report the first fabrication of Ga0.49In0.51P/GaxIn1-xAs n- and p-type lattice matched (x=1) and strained (x-0.85) heterostructure insulated gate field effect transistor (HIGFET) grown by low-pressure metal-organic chemical vapour deposition (LP MOCVD). The growth conditions of Ga0.49In0.51P have been optimised to produce a high-purity insulator material. The n-type devices show good pinch-off characteristics, with a small variation of threshold voltage with temperature consecutive to the low trap density in that system. High transconductance values have been obtained on p-type devices, due to the large valence band discontinuity between GaAs and Ga0.49In0.51P. [reprint (PDF)]
18.	Investigation of surface leakage reduction for small pitch shortwave infrared photodetectors Arash Dehzangi, Quentin Durlin, Donghai Wu, Ryan McClintock, Manijeh Razeghi Semiconductor Science and Technology, 34(6), 06LT01-- May 25, 2019 ...[Visit Journal] Different passivation techniques are investigated for reducing leakage current in small pixel (down to 9 μm) heterostructure photodetectors designed for the short-wavelength infrared range. Process evaluation test chips were fabricated using the same process as for focal plane arrays. Arrays of small photodetectors were electrically characterized under dark conditions from 150 K to room temperature. In order to evaluate the leakage current, we studied the relation between the inverse of dynamic resistance at −20 mV and zero bias and perimeter over area P/A ratio as the pixel size is scaled down. At 150 K, leakage current arising from the perimeter dominates while bulk leakage dominates at room temperature. We find that in shortwave devices directly underfilling hybridized devices with a thermoset epoxy resin without first doing any additional passivation/protection after etching gives the lowest leakage with a surface resistance of 4.2 × 10⁹ and 8.9 × 10³ Ω· cm⁻¹ at 150 and 300 K, for −20 mV of bias voltage, respectively.

18.	Polarity inversion of Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes B.M. Nguyen, D. Hoffman, P.Y. Delaunay, M. Razeghi and V. Nathan Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 91, No. 10, p. 103503-1-- September 3, 2007 ...[Visit Journal] The authors demonstrated the realization of p-on-n Type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodiodes. Growth condition for high quality InAsSb layer lattice matched to GaSb was established for the use of an effective n-contact layer. By studying the effect of various GaSb capping layer thicknesses on the optical and electrical performances, an optimized thickness of 160 nm was determined. In comparison to as grown n-on-p superlattice photodiodes, this inverted design of p on n has shown similar quality. Finally, by analyzing Fabry-Perot interference fringes in the front side illuminated spectral measurement, the refractive index of the superlattice was determined to be approximately 3.8.

Garry SPIE Conference, Jose, CA, Vol. 5732, pp. 412-- January 22, 2005 ...[Visit Journal] GaN-based optoelectronic devices are plagued by a tendency to non-radiative transitions linked to defects in the active layers. ZnO is promising as a substrate material for GaN because it has the same wurtzite structure and a relatively small lattice mismatch (~1.8%). In this paper, we discuss use of ZnO thin films as templates for GaN based LED. [reprint (PDF)]
