18.	Type-II InAs/GaSb Superlattice Focal Plane Arrays for High-Performance Third Generation Infrared Imaging and Free-Space Communication M. Razeghi, A. Hood and A. Evans SPIE Conference, January 25-29, 2007, San Jose, CA Proceedings – Optoelectronic Integrated Circuits IX, Vol. 6476, p. 64760Q-1-9-- January 29, 2007 ...[Visit Journal] Free-space optical communications has recently been touted as a solution to the "last mile" bottleneck of high speed data networks providing highly secure, short to long range, and high bandwidth connections. However, commercial near infrared systems experience atmospheric scattering losses and scintillation effects which can adversely affect a link's uptime. By moving the operating wavelength into the mid or long wavelength infrared enhanced link uptimes and increased range can be achieved due to less susceptibility atmospheric affects. The combination of room temperature, continuous wave' high power quantum cascade lasers and high operating temperature Type-II superlattice photodetectors offers the benefits of mid and long wavelength infrared systems as well as practical operating conditions.

18.	Room temperature continuous wave THz frequency comb based on quantum cascade lasers M. Razeghi; Q. Y. Lu; F. H. Wang; D. H. Wu; S. Slivken Proc. SPIE 11124, Terahertz Emitters, Receivers, and Applications X, 1112407-- September 6, 2019 ...[Visit Journal] Frequency combs, spectra of phase-coherent equidistant lines, have revolutionized time and frequency metrology. The recently developed quantum cascade laser (QCL) comb has exhibits great potential with high power and broadband spectrum. However, in the terahertz (THz) range, cryogenic cooling has to be applied for THz QCL combs. We report a room temperature THz frequency comb at 3.0 THz based on difference-frequency generation from a mid-IR QCL comb. A largely detuned distributed-feedback grating is integrated into the QCL cavity to provide the single mode operation as well as enhanced spatial hole-burning effect for multimode comb operation. Multiheterodyne spectroscopy with multiple equally spaced lines by beating it with a reference Fabry-Pérot comb confirms the THz comb operation. This type of THz comb provides a new solution to chip-based high-speed high-resolution THz spectroscopy with compact size at room temperature. [reprint (PDF)]
18.	Planar monolithic integrated photoreceiver for 1.3–1.55 μm wavelength applications using GaInAs‐GaAs heteroepitaxies M. Razeghi; J. Ramdani; H. Verriele; D. Decoster; M. Constant; J. Vanbremeersch Appl. Phys. Lett. 49, 215–217 (1986)-- July 28, 1986 ...[Visit Journal] We report the first fabrication of a monolithic integrated circuit consisting of a G1lo47 IIlo53 As planar photoconductive detector (suitable for 1.3-1.55 f.lm wavelength optical communication systems) associated with a GaAs field-effect transistor. The gain, response times, and noise properties of the photoconductive detector and the integrated photo receiver have been investigated, taking into account particular aspects of the material and integrated circuit structure.

18.	InGaAlAs/InP Quantum Well Infrared Photodetectors for 8-20 μm Wavelengths C. Jelen, S. Slivken, V. Guzman, M. Razeghi, and G. Brown IEEE Journal of Quantum Electronics 34 (10)-- October 1, 1998 ...[Visit Journal] 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 mu m, respectively. A 45 degrees facet coupled illumination. responsivity of R = 0.37 A/W and detectivity of D-lambda* = 3 x 10(8) cm .root Hz . W-1 at T = K, for a cutoff wavelength lambda(c) = 13.3 mu m have been achieved. Based on the measured intersubband photoresponse wavelength, a null conduction band offset is expected for In0.52Ga0.21Al0.27As-InP heterojunctions. [reprint (PDF)]
18.	Scale-up of the Chemical Lift-off of (In)GaN-based p-i-n Junctions from Sapphire Substrates Using Sacrificial ZnO Template Layers D. J. Rogers, S. Sundaram, Y. El Gmili, F. Hosseini Teherani, P. Bove, V. Sandana, P. L. Voss, A. Ougazzaden, A. Rajan, K.A. Prior, R. McClintock, & M. Razeghi Proc. SPIE 9364, Oxide-based Materials and Devices VI, 936424 -- March 24, 2015 ...[Visit Journal] (In)GaN p-i-n structures were grown by MOVPE on both GaN- and ZnO-coated c-sapphire substrates. XRD studies of the as-grown layers revealed that a strongly c-axis oriented wurtzite crystal structure was obtained on both templates and that there was a slight compressive strain in the ZnO underlayer which increased after GaN overgrowth. The InGaN peak position gave an estimate of 13.6at% for the indium content in the active layer. SEM and AFM revealed that the top surface morphologies were similar for both substrates, with an RMS roughness (5 μm x 5 μm) of about 10 nm. Granularity appeared slightly coarser (40nm for the device grown on ZnO vs 30nm for the device grown on the GaN template) however. CL revealed a weaker GaN near band edge UV emission peak and a stronger broad defect-related visible emission band for the structure grown on the GaN template. Only a strong ZnO NBE UV emission was observed for the sample grown on the ZnO template. Quarter-wafer chemical lift-off (CLO) of the InGaN-based p-i-n structures from the sapphire substrate was achieved by temporary-bonding the GaN surface to rigid glass support with wax and then selectively dissolving the ZnO in 0.1M HCl. XRD studies revealed that the epitaxial nature and strong preferential c-axis orientation of the layers had been maintained after lift-off. This demonstration of CLO scale-up, without compromising the crystallographic integrity of the (In)GaN p-i-n structure opens up the perspective of transferring GaN based devices off of sapphire substrates industrially.

Razeghi IEEE Photonics Technology Letters, 16 (3)-- March 1, 2004 ...[Visit Journal] We report continuous-wave (CW) operation of quantum-cascade lasers (λ=6 μm) up to a temperature of 313 K (40°C). The maximum CW optical output powers range from 212 mW at 288 K to 22 mW at 313 K and are achieved with threshold current densities of 2.21 and 3.11 kA/cm2, respectively, for a high-reflectivity-coated 12-μm-wide and 2-mm-long laser. At room temperature (298 K), the power output is 145 mW at 0.87 A, corresponding to a power conversion efficiency of 1.68%. The maximum CW operating temperature of double-channel ridge waveguide lasers mounted epilayer-up on copper heatsinks is analyzed in terms of the ridge width, which is varied between 12 and 40 μm. A clear trend of improved performance is observed as the ridge narrows. [reprint (PDF)]
18.	Highly selective two-color mid-wave and long-wave infrared detector hybrid based on Type-II superlattices E.K. Huang, M.A. Hoang, G. Chen, S.R. Darvish, A. Haddadi, and M. Razeghi Optics Letters, Vol. 37, No. 22, p. 4744-4746-- November 15, 2012 ...[Visit Journal] We report a two-color mid-wave infrared (MWIR) and long-wave infrared (LWIR) co-located detector with 3 μm active region thickness per channel that is highly selective and can perform under high operating temperatures for the MWIR band. Under back-side illumination, a temperature evolution study of the MWIR detector’s electro-optical performance found the 300 K background-limit with 2π field-of-view to be achieved below operating temperatures of 160 K, at which the temperature’s 50% cutoff wavelength was 5.2 μm. The measured current reached the system limit of 0.1 pA at 110 K for 30 μm pixel-sized diodes. At 77 K, where the LWIR channel operated with a 50% cutoff wavelength at 11.2 μm, an LWIR selectivity of ∼17% was achieved in the MWIR wave band between 3 and 4.7 μm, making the detector highly selective.

18.	Substrate removal for high quantum efficiency back side illuminated type-II InAs/GaSb photodetectors P.Y. Delaunay, B.M. Nguyen, D. Hoffman and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 91, No. 23, p. 231106-- December 3, 2007 ...[Visit Journal] A substrate removal technique using an InAsSb etch stop layer improves by a factor of 2 the quantum efficiency of back side illuminated type-II InAs/GaSb superlattice photodetectors. After etching of the GaSb substrate with a CrO₃ based solution, the quantum efficiency of the diodes presents Fabry-Pérot oscillations averaging at 56%. Due to the confinement of the infrared light inside the devices, the quantum efficiency for certain devices reaches 75% at 8.5 µm. The implementation of this new technique to a focal plane array resulted in a decrease of the integration time from 0.23 to 0.08 ms. [reprint (PDF)]
18.	High operating temperature 320 x 256 middle-wavelength infrared focal plane array imaging based on an InAs/InGaAs/InAlAs/InP quantum dot infrared photodetector S. Tsao, H. Lim, W. Zhang, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters, Vol. 90, No. 20, p. 201109-- May 14, 2007 ...[Visit Journal] This letter reports a 320×256 middle-wavelength infrared focal plane array operating at temperatures up to 200 K based on an InAs quantum dot/InGaAs quantum well/InAlAs barrier detector grown on InP substrate by low pressure metal organic chemical vapor deposition. The device's low dark current density and the persistence of the photocurrent up to room temperature enabled the high temperature imaging. The focal plane array had a peak detection wavelength of 4 µm, a responsivity of 34 mA/W, a conversion efficiency of 1.1%, and a noise equivalent temperature difference of 344 mK at an operating temperature of 120 K.

18.	Persistent photoconductivity in Ga0.49In0.51P/GaAs heterojunctions S. Ben Amor; L. Dmowski; J. C. Portal; N. J. Pulsford; R. J. Nicholas; J. Singleton; M. Razeghi J. Appl. Phys. 65, 2756–2760 (1989-- November 18, 1988 ...[Visit Journal] We have studied the persistent photoconductivity (PPC) effect in Ga0.49 Ino. sl P IGaAs heterostructures. Through time- and temperature-dependent Hall effect, we observe very small relaxation rates and the PPC remains observable at room temperature. Optical experiments show an optical energy threshold of 1.15 e V and an infrared quenching of the ppc. Thermal cycling of the samples strongly affects the PPC and the quenching temperature. The center responsible for the observed PPC, therefore, appears related to defects, Most of our observations are qualitatively understood in a large lattice relaxation DX-like center approach. However, the origin of the high quenching temperature remains to be explained. [reprint (PDF)]

18.	Dark current reduction in microjunction-based compound electron barrier type-II InAs/InAs1-xSbx superlattice-based long-wavelength infrared photodetectors Romain Chevallier, Abbas Haddadi, Manijeh Razeghi Proc. SPIE 10540, Quantum Sensing and Nano Electronics and Photonics XV Page. 1054007-1-- January 26, 2018 ...[Visit Journal] Reduction of dark current density in microjunction-based InAs/InAs_1-xSb_x type-II superlattice long-wavelength infrared photodetectors was demonstrated. A double electron barrier design was used to suppress both generation-recombination and surface dark currents. The photodetectors exhibited high surface resistivity after passivation with SiO₂, which permits the use of small size features without having strong surface leakage current degrading the electrical performance. Fabricating a microjunction structure (25×25 μm² mesas with 10×10 μm² microjunctions) with this photodetector double barrier design results in a dark current density of 6.3×10^-6 A/cm² at 77 K. The device has an 8 μm cut-off wavelength at 77 K and exhibits a quantum efficiency of 31% for a 2 μm-thick absorption region, which results in a specific detectivity value of 1.2×10¹² cm·Hz^1/2/W at 77 K.

18.	Al_xGa_1-xN-based back-illuminated solar-blind photodetectors with external quantum efficiency of 89% E. Cicek, R. McClintock, C. Y. Cho, B. Rahnema, and M. Razeghi Appl. Phys. Lett. 103, 191108 (2013)-- November 5, 2013 ...[Visit Journal] We report on high performance Al_xGa_1−xN-based solar-blind ultraviolet photodetector (PD) array grown on sapphire substrate. First, high quality, crack-free AlN template layer is grown via metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Then, we systematically optimized the device design and material doping through the growth and processing of multiple devices. After optimization, uniform and solar-blind operation is observed throughout the array; at the peak detection wavelength of 275 nm, 729 μm² area PD showed unbiased peak external quantum efficiency and responsivity of ∼80% and ∼176 mA/W, respectively, increasing to 89% under 5 V of reverse bias. Taking the reflection loses into consideration, the internal quantum efficiency of these optimized PD can be estimated to be as high as ∼98%. The visible rejection ratio measured to be more than six orders of magnitude. Electrical measurements yielded a low-dark current density: <2 × 10⁻⁹ A/cm², at 10 V of reverse bias. [reprint (PDF)]

Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 107 , 141104-- October 5, 2015 ...[Visit Journal] A high-performance short-wavelength infrared n-i-p photodiode based on InAs/InAs1-xSbx/AlAs1-xSbx type-II superlattices on GaSb substrate has been demonstrated. The device is designed to have a 50% cut-off wavelength of ~1.8μm at 300K. The photodetector exhibited a room-temperature (300 K) peak responsivity of 0.47 A/W at 1.6μm, corresponding to a quantum efficiency of 37% at zero bias under front-side illumination, without any anti-reflection coating. With an R×A of 285 Ω·cm² and a dark current density of 9.6×10^-5 A/cm² under −50mV applied bias at 300 K, the photodiode exhibited a specific detectivity of 6.45×10¹⁰ cm·Hz^½/W. At 200 K, the photodiode exhibited a dark current density of 1.3×10^-8 A/cm² and a quantum efficiency of 36%, resulting in a detectivity of 5.66×10¹² cm·Hz^½/W. [reprint (PDF)]
18.	Room-temperature continuous-wave operation of quantum-cascade lasers at λ ~ 4 µm J.S. Yu, S.R. Darvish, A. Evans, J. Nguyen, S. Slivken, and M. Razeghi Applied Physics Letters 88 (4)-- January 23, 2006 ...[Visit Journal] High-power cw λ~4 μm quantum-cascade lasers (QCLs) are demonstrated. The effect of different cavity length and laser die bonding is also investigated.

18.	LEO of III-Nitride on Al₂O₃ and Si Substrates M. Razeghi, P. Kung, P. Sandvik, K. Mi, X. Zhang, V.P. Dravid, J. Freitas, and A. Saxler SPIE Conference, San Jose, CA, -- January 26, 2000 ...[Visit Journal] Lateral epitaxial overgrowth (LEO) has recently become the method of choice to reduce the density of dislocations in heteroepitaxial GaN thin films, and is thus expected to lead to enhanced performance devices. We present here the LEO growth and characterization of GaN films by low pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Various substrates were used, including basal plane sapphire and oriented Si substrates. The steps in the LEO growth technology will be briefly reviewed. The characterization results will be discussed in detail. The structural, electrical and optical properties of the films were assessed through scanning, atomic and transmission electron microscopy, x-ray diffraction, capacitance-voltage, deep level transient spectroscopy, photoluminescence, and scanning cathodoluminenscence measurements. Single-step and double- step LEO GaN was achieved on sapphire. Similarly high quality LEO grown GaN films were obtained on sapphire and silicon substrates. Clear and dramatic reduction in the density of defects are observed in LEO grown materials using the various characterization techniques mentioned previously. [reprint (PDF)]
18.	Engineering Multi-Section Quantum Cascade Lasers for Broadband Tuning Steven Slivken and Manijeh Razeghi Photonics 3, 41-- June 27, 2016 ...[Visit Journal] In an effort to overcome current limitations to electrical tuning of quantum cascade lasers, a strategy is proposed which combines heterogeneous quantum cascade laser gain engineering with sampled grating architectures. This approach seeks to not only widen the accessible spectral range for an individual emitter, but also compensate for functional non-uniformity of reflectivity and gain lineshapes. A trial laser with a dual wavelength core is presented which exhibits electroluminescence over a 750 cm⁻¹ range and discrete single mode laser emission over a 700 cm⁻¹ range. Electrical tuning over 180 cm⁻¹ is demonstrated with a simple sampled grating design. A path forward to even wider tuning is also described using more sophisticated gain and grating design principles. [reprint (PDF)]
18.	Aluminum nitride films on different orientations of sapphire and silicon K. Dovidenko, S. Oktyabrsky, J. Narayan, and M. Razeghi Journal of Applied Physics79 (5)-- March 1, 1996 ...[Visit Journal] The details of epitaxial growth and microstrictural characteristics of AlN films grown on sapphire (0001), (1012) and Si (100), (111) substrates were investigated using plan‐view and cross‐sectional high‐resolution transmission electron microscopy and x‐ray diffraction techniques. The films were grown by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition using TMA1+NH3+N2 gas mixtures. Different degrees of epitaxy were observed for the films grown on α‐Al₂O₃ and Si substrates in different orientations. The epitaxial relationship for (0001) sapphire was found to be (0001)AlN∥(0001)sap with in‐plane orientation relationship of [0110]AlN∥[1210]sap. This is equivalent to a 30° rotation in the basal (0001) plane. For (1012) sapphire substrates, the epitaxial relationship was determined to be (1120)AlN∥(1012)sap with the in‐plane alignment of [0001]AlN∥[1011]sap. The AlN films on (0001) α‐Al₂O₃ were found to contain inverted domain boundaries and a/3〈1120〉 threading dislocations with the estimated density of 10¹⁰ cm⁻². The density of planar defects (stacking faults) found in AlN films was considerably higher in the case of (1012) compared to (0001) substrates. Films on Si substrates were found to be highly textured c axis oriented when grown on (111) Si, and c axis textured with random in‐plane orientation on (100) Si. The role of thin‐film defects and interfaces on device fabrication is discussed. [reprint (PDF)]
18.	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)]

Mesa devices were fabricated and subjected to a series of tests to illuminate experimentally some of the detection capabilities of the lattice matched quaternary InxGa1-xAsyP1-y system with (0 ≤ x ≤ 0.52) and (0 ≤ y ≤ 1). The observed photoresponse cut-off wavelengths are in good agreement with the activation energies observed in the temperature dependence of the dark currents. Kronig-Penney calculations were used to model the intersubband transition energies. [reprint (PDF)]

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.
