▼ Photodiodes made of
III-
V materials are ubiquitous with applications for telecommunications, photonics, consumer electronics, and spectroscopy. The
III-
V solar cell, specifically, is a large-area photodiode that is used by the satellite industry for power conversion due to its unrivaled efficiency and wide range of available materials. As a device driven by its minority carrier diffusion length (MCDL), the performance of a photodiode is sensitive to crystallographic defects that create states in the forbidden energy gap. Defects commonly arise during growth of the crystal and during device fabrication, and they accumulate slowly over time when deployed into the damaging environment of space. Defect-assisted carrier recombination leads to lower MCDL, higher dark current, reduced sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio, and, in the case of solar cells, reduced power conversion efficiency. Consequently, the development of photodiode technology requires techniques for detection, characterization, and mitigation of defects and the inter-bandgap states they create. In this work,
III-
V material defects are addressed across a variety of materials and devices.
The first half of the work makes use of deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) to deduce the energy level, cross-section, and density of traps the InAlAs, InAlAsSb, and InGaAs lattice-matched to InP. An in situ DLTS system that can monitor defects immediately after irradiation was developed and applied to InGaAs photodiodes irradiated by protons. Evidence of trap annealing was found to occur as low as 150 K. The second half begins with development of GaSb solar cells grown by molecular beam epitaxy on GaAs substrate intended for use in lower-cost monolithic multi-junction cells. Defect analysis by microscopy, dark lock-in thermography, and dark current measurement, among others, was performed. The best GaSb-on-GaAs cell achieved state-of-the-art 4.5% efficiency under concentrated solar spectrum. Finally, light management in
III-
V photodiodes was explored as a possible route for defect mitigation. Textures, diffraction gratings, metallic mirrors, and Bragg reflectors were simulated by finite difference time domain for single- and multi-junction GaAs-based cells with the aim of reducing the amount of absorber
material required and to simultaneously reduce MCDL requirements by generating carriers closer to the junction. The results were inputted into a device simulator to predict efficiency. A backside reflective pyramidal-textured grating was simulated to allow a GaAs cell to be thinned by a factor of >30 compared to a conventional cell.

▼ Capture of the energy in sunlight relies mainly on the use of light-absorbing semiconductors, in solar cells and in water-splitting devices. While solar cell efficiency has increased dramatically since the first practical device was made in 1954, production costs for the most-efficient solar absorbers,
III-
V semiconductors, remain high. This is largely a result of use of expensive, slow growth methods which rely on hazardous gas-phase precursors. Alternative growth methods are necessary to lower the cost for
III-
V materials for use in solar cells and improve the practicality of water-splitting devices.
The research goal of this dissertation is two-fold: to expand the capabilities of close-spaced vapor transport, an alternative growth method for
III-Vs to demonstrate its compatibility with current technologies; and to explore the fundamental chemistry of close-spaced vapor transport as a growth method for these materials. This dissertation surveys plausibly lower-cost growth methods for
III-
V semiconductors (Chapter II) and presents in-depth studies on the growth chemistry of two ternary
III-Vs: GaAs1-xPx (Chapter
III) and Ga1-xInxP (Chapter IV). Finally, the growth of GaAs microstructures which could be utilized in a water-splitting device is studied (Chapter
V).
This dissertation includes previously published and unpublished co-authored
material.

▼ The semiconductor alloy indium gallium nitride (InxGa1-xN) offers substantial potential in the development of high-efficiency multi-junction photovoltaic devices due to its wide range of direct band gaps, strong absorption and other optoelectronic properties. This work uses a variety of characterization techniques to examine the properties of InxGa1-xN thin films deposited in a range of compositions by a novel plasma-enhanced evaporation deposition system. Due to the high vapour pressure and low dissociation temperature of indium, the indium incorporation and, ultimately, control of the InxGa1-xN composition was found to be influenced to a greater degree by deposition temperature than variations in the In:Ga source rates in the investigated region of deposition condition space. Under specific deposition conditions, crystalline films were grown in an advantageous nano-columnar microstructure with deposition temperature influencing column size and density. The InxGa1-xN films were determined to have very strong absorption coefficients with band gaps indirectly related to indium content. However, the films also suffer from compositional inhomogeneity and In-related defect complexes with strong phonon coupling that dominates the emission mechanism. This, in addition to the presence of metal impurities, harms the alloy’s electronic properties as no significant photoresponse was observed. This research has demonstrated the material properties that make the InxGa1-xN alloy attractive for multi-junction solar cells and the benefits/drawbacks of the plasma-enhanced evaporation deposition system. Future work is needed to overcome significant challenges relating to crystalline quality, compositional homogeneity and the optoelectronic properties of In-rich InxGa1-xN films in order to develop high-performance photovoltaic devices.

▼ Ce sujet de thèse s'inscrit dans la course à la miniaturisation des technologies CMOS, où l'apparition d'effets néfastes (canaux courts) sur le comportement électrique des dispositifs a poussé l'exploration, ces dernières années, d'architectures non planaires de transistors ainsi que d'autres innovations au niveau matériau. Cette thèse propose une architecture 3D à base de nanofils verticaux III-V pour la réalisation de transistors MOS, présentant ainsi des challenges tant architecturaux qu'au niveau du matériau de canal. La thèse débute par la réalisation de nanofils verticaux sur plateforme Si suivant deux approches différentes. Une première voie descendante a permis, en combinant lithographie électronique et gravure plasma, d'obtenir de manière reproductible des nanofils verticaux de GaAs dont les diamètres atteignent 30 nm. Des nanofils verticaux d'InAs ont également été obtenus par voie ascendante. Une structuration de surface a permis de faire croître ces nanofils par MBE de manière localisée, permettant de contrôler leur positionnement pour la réalisation d'un dispositif. Deux études détaillées ont été effectuées afin de traiter les verrous liés aux matériaux III-V. La première a pour sujet la qualité de l'interface oxyde de grille/semiconducteur. Celle-ci possède naturellement une forte densité d'état d'interface menant au verrouillage du niveau de Fermi. Pour diminuer cet effet, la combinaison d'une préparation de surface et du dépôt de l'Al2O3 par ALD a été mise en place. Les caractérisations structurelles et électriques démontrent une interface atomiquement abrupte associée à une densité de défauts du même ordre de grandeur que l'état de l'art (10 12 eV-1.cm-2). La seconde porte sur l'obtention de contacts Source-Drain faiblement résistifs compatibles avec les technologies CMOS. Ceux-ci ont été réalisés par la formation d'un alliage ternaire avec un métal par diffusion thermique. A l'aide de l'étude cristallographique et des caractérisations électriques, l'alliage ternaire à base de nickel a été retenu pour la réalisation de contacts optimaux. Enfin, l'implémentation de ces solutions sur les nanofils verticaux a été réalisée avec succès. Finalement, un procédé de fabrication respectant les approches technologiques industrielles a été mis en place. La réalisation des nanofils verticaux suivie par l'intégration de l'oxyde de grille et des contacts alliés démontré avec succès. Une technique de planarisation du matériau isolant permettant le positionnement vertical du niveau de grille a également été développée. Afin de terminer le procédé, une méthode de gravure de la grille ainsi que la prise des contacts aux 3 bornes du transistor restent à démontrer.
The purpose of this work is to pursue the miniaturization of MOS transistors since the emergence of harmful effects (short channel effects) over the electrical response of devices has motivated the research about non planar architecture as well as some innovative materials. This PhD introduces a 3D architecture based on III-V vertical nanowires for the…

▼ Abstract : Silicon-based devices dominate the
semiconductor industry because of the low cost of
this
material, its technology availability and maturity. However, silicon has physical
limitations, in terms of mobility and saturation velocity of the carriers, which limit its use in
the high frequency applications and low supply voltage i.e. power consumption, in CMOS
technology. Therefore,
III-
V materials like InGaAs and InAs are good candidates because of
the excellent electron mobility of bulk materials (from 5000 to 40.000 cm2
/
V.s) and the high
electron saturation velocity. We have fabricated ultra-thin body (UTB) InAs/InGaAs
MOSFET with gate length of 150 nm. The frequency response and ON-current of the
presented MOSFETs is measured and found to have comparable performances to the existing
state of the art MOSFETs as reported by the other research groups. The UTB MOSFETs were
fabricated by self-aligned method. Two thin body conduction channels were explored,
In0,75Ga0,25As and a composite InAs/In0,53Ga0,47As. A thin upper barrier layer consisting of
InP (3nm) is inserted between the channel and the oxide layers to realized a buried channel.
Finally, the Al2O3 (4 nm) was deposited by the atomic layer deposition (ALD) technique. It is
well known that the source and drain (S/D) contact resistances of InAs MOSFETs influence
the devices performances. Therefore, in our ultra-thin body (UTB) InAs MOSFETs design,
we have engineered the contacts to achieve good ohmic contact resistances. Indeed, for this
UTB architecture the use of ion implantation technique is incompatible with a low thermal
budget and cannot allow to obtain low resistive contacts. To overcome this limitation, an
adapted technological approach to define ohmic contacts is presented. To that end, we chose
low thermal budget (250°C) silicide-like technology based on Nickel metal. Finally, we have
studied and analyzed the resistance of the alloy between Nickel and
III-
V (Rsheet). MOSFET
with two different epilayer structures (In0,75Ga0,25As and a composite InAs/In0,53Ga0,47As)
were fabricated with a gate length (LG) of 150 nm. There were few difference of electrical
performance of these two devices. We obtained a maximum drain current (ION) of 730
mA/mm, and the extrinsic transconductance (GM, MAX) showed a peak value of 500 mS/mm.
The devices exhibited a current gain cutoff frequency fT of 100 GHz and maximum oscillation
frequency fmax of 60 GHz for drain to source voltage (VDS) of 0.7
V.

▼ The interband cascade (IC) family of devices has been extended beyond mid-infrared lasers to include photovoltaic (PV) and photodetector (PD) devices. These devices utilize the transition between conduction and valence bands for photon emission or absorption in the infrared region. The cascade structure recycles electrons to generate or collect multiple photons per electron. Epitaxial growths of the device structures are challenging because they consist of hundreds of quantum wells and require atomic layer precision in thickness control. Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) was used to grow these structures with InAs, GaSb, AlSb, and their alloys on InAs or GaSb substrates.
IC laser structures with InAs plasmon cladding layers were grown on InAs substrates for wavelengths greater than 3 μm. To provide a smooth initial surface for the cascade region, the optimal conditions for growth of homoepitaxial InAs layers were investigated over a wide range of substrate temperatures and As2/In flux ratios at a growth rate of 0.66 monolayer/s (ML/s).
Material quality was investigated using differential interference contrast microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The geometry of oval hillock defects on the InAs layers suggested that these defects originated at the substrate surface. The InAs-based IC lasers had emission wavelengths out to 11 μm, which is the longest wavelength among interband lasers based on III–
V materials. By introducing intermediate superlattice (SL) cladding layers to enhance optical confinement and reduce internal absorption loss, the first continuous wave operation of InAs-based IC lasers at room temperature was demonstrated. The threshold current density of 247 A/cm2 for emission near 4.6 μm is the lowest ever reported among
semiconductor mid-infrared lasers at similar wavelengths.
ICPV and ICPD devices were developed based on the architecture of IC lasers. They both consist of multiple discrete InAs/GaSb SL absorbers sandwiched between electron and hole barriers. ICPV devices can be used in thermophotovoltaic systems that convert radiant energy from a heat source into electricity. Strain-balanced InAs/GaSb SL structures were achieved by adjusting the group-
V overpressure during MBE growth. Two- and three-stage ICPV devices operated at room temperature with substantial open-circuit voltages at a cutoff wavelength of 5.3 μm, the longest ever reported for room-temperature PV devices.
The interfaces of InAs/GaSb SLs were studied with the goal of improving the PDs designed for the long-wavelength infrared region. Two ICPD structures with different SL interfaces were grown by MBE, one with a ~1.2 ML-thick InSb layer inserted intentionally only at the GaSb-on-InAs interfaces and another with a ~0.6 ML-thick InSb layer inserted at both InAs-on-GaSb and GaSb-on-InAs interfaces. The
material quality of the PD structures was similar according to differential interference contrast microscopy, atomic force microscopy, and x-ray diffraction measurements. The device performances were not…

▼ Due to the high electron mobility compard with Si, much attention has been focused on
III-
V compound semiconductors (gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium phosphide (InP)) high-speed devices. The high-k
material TiO2 not only has high dielectric constant (k =35-100) but has well lattice match with GaAs and InP substrate. Therefore, titanium oxide (TiO2) was chosen to be the gate oxide in this study
The major problem of
III-
V compound
semiconductor is known to have poor native oxide on it leading to the Fermi level pinning at the interface of oxide and
semiconductor. The C-
V stretch-out phenomenon can be observed and the leakage current is high. The higher dielectric constant of poly-crystalline SiO2 film grown on GaAs can be obtained by atomic layer deposition (ALD). But the high leakage current also occurred due to the grain boundary and defects in the poly-crystalline TiO2 film.
The surface passivation of GaAs with (NH4)2S treatment (S-GaAs) could prevent it from oxidizing after cleaning and improve the interface properties of MOSFET. The fluorine from liquid phase deposited SiO2 solution can passivate the grain boundary of poly-crystalline ALD-TiO2 film and interface state. The high dielectric constant and low leakage current of fluorine passive ALD-TiO2/S-GaAs can be obtained. The leakage current densities are 3.78 x 10-8 A/cm2 and 2.49 x 10-7 A/cm2 at ±1.5 MV/cm, respectively. The Dit is 4.6 x 1011 cm-2eV-1 at the midgap. The dielectric constant can reach 52.

▼ The research presented in this dissertation pioneered three novel nano-
material systems, including vertically aligned InAlAs nanowires (NWs) on two-dimensional (2-D) graphene, InAs NWs on 2-D MoS2, and GaAsP NWs on Si using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). Bottom up integratiton of NW structures enable heteroepitaxy of largely dissimilar
III-
V compounds on foreign substrates and provide a basis for design of high-performance devices that are otherwise inaccessible using thin- films or planar geometries. During conventional heteroepitaxy of planar geometries, strict constraints are imposed by the need to match lattice parameters, thermal expansion coefficients, and polar coherence between adjacent dissimilar materials.
Semiconductor III-
V NWs with small substrate footprints can permit relief of lattice mismatch-induced strain in heteroepitaxial systems. Thus, high crystalline quality
III-
V compound
semiconductor NWs can be monolithically integrated with foreign substrates for novel electronic and optoelectronic device designs. This dissertation presents wafer-scale production of vertically oriented InAsyP1-y and InxAl1-xAs NWs on single layer graphene (SLG) and MoS2 substrates, grown via pseudo-van der Waals epitaxy (vdWE). The morphology, areal density, and crystalstructure of InAsyP1-y NWs within the 1 ≤ y ≤ 0.8 range and InxAl1-xAs in the 1 ≤ x ≤ 0.5 range are quantitatively analyzed by mapping a wide growth parameter space as a function of growth temperature,
V/
III ratio, total precursor flow rate, and molar flow ratio of precursors. Furthermore, through manipulation of growth kinetics, selective-area vdWE of
III-
V NWs on 2-D MoS2 surfaces is demonstrated, and pattern-free positioning of single NWs on isolated MoS2 micro-plates with one-to-one NW-to-MoS2 placement is highlighted. Here, the highest axial growth rate of 840 nm/min and NW number density of ∼8.3 × 108 cm−2 for vdWE of high aspect ratio (>80) InAs NW arrays on graphitic surfaces is reported. Additionally, selective-area epitaxy (SAE) of GaAsP-GaP core-multi shell NW arrays on patterned Si(111) substrates is reported. The composition of GaAsyP1-y NWs is tuned toward a targeted value of y = 0.73 to achieve the bandgap of 1.75 eV. The effect of growth rate on morphology, total yield, and symmetric yield of GaAsP NWs is explored through modulation of the effective local supply of growth species. Under the optimized SAE growth condition, > 90% yield of hexagonally symmetric GaAsP NWs on Si is realized using a 100 μm × 100 μm field of nano-hole arrays in the center of a 400 μm × 400 μm mesa with border width of 100 μm.

▼ The use of group
III-
V semiconductor materials promise superior performance compared to silicon and can be considered a fundamental paradigm shift away from mature silicon technology. Group
III-
V semiconductors allow for high power operation, drastically high clock speeds, large breakdown fields, and higher Johnson’s Figure of Merit (JFoM). Due to higher electron drift velocity (vd) of the
material set, higher on-state current (Ion) is expected than the one in silicon with reduced supply voltage operation. Additionally, strong spontaneous and piezoelectric polarization properties in the
III-Nitrides support tighter carrier confinement with high carrier density in a quantum well channel at the heterointerface. By engineering the
III-nitride properties, designing a 3D architecture device includes important physical parameters that must be taken into account to analyze device performance. GaN-based devices are desirable for high RF and high power applications for reducing parasitics and improving efficiency. For this reason,
III-nitride
semiconductor materials provide the possibility of future integration of GaN fin-based 3D devices.
This dissertation describes the experimental realization and electrical analysis of
III-
V FinFET devices with an AlGaN/GaN heterostructure, called “Multi-Gate Heterostructure Fin Field Effect Transistor (MUG-HFinFET).” Process development begins with the experimental demonstration of a Si-compatible baseline AlGaN/GaN FinFET technology, and an exploration of the impact of physical device design parameters such as fin widths, heights, angles and gate lengths. The ohmic contact formation on AlGaN/GaN heterostructure is realized using different metal stacks while taking into account additional annealing effects and produces comparably low contact resistance to other literature reports. Different fabrication processes to distinguish the impact of the device architectures are demonstrated while simultaneously applying for the integration of high-k dielectric metal-gate stack including surface clean and passivation techniques developed for high quality interfaces and low-leakage performance. After MUG-HFinFET technology is implemented and characterized, the impacts of the device design parameters are benchmarked and shows the guidance to device design at the initial stage forward proper device application. The work concludes by assessing the novel characteristics of AlGaN/GaN heterostructure FinFET devices for 3D device design with distinguished performance. According to the distinguished performance across the device geometries and crystal directions, the benchmarks made in this dissertation will guide future device application development toward an AlGaN/GaN FinFET device design to ensure that a proper device design is achieved.

▼ Silicon photonics provides an environmentally sustainable pathway to a more robust data infrastructure. To compensate for optical power losses, methods of amplification are required; specifically, amplifiers that can fit in a small footprint for applications in data centres. Semiconductor optical amplifiers (SOA) provide such a solution, and can be fabricated using III-V ternary or quaternary materials to enhance optical signals through a device on the scale of most CMOS components.
This research sought to fabricate an InGaAsP multiple quantum well semiconductor optical amplifier using the facilities in McMaster University’s Centre for Emerging Device Technologies (CEDT). A ridge waveguide laser diode was first fabricated and validated, then altered by applying an anti-reflective coating to the waveguide facets to suppress reflections in the Fabry-Perot cavity in an attempt to create an SOA. The design process and fabrication methodology are explained, including an analysis of failed methodologies. Characterization measurement techniques are then detailed for the fabricated devices. Finally, the performance of the devices is presented, and future steps are suggested for improving the fabrication process to enhance device characteristics. The fabricated laser diodes produced an output power in excess of 20 mW at a peak wavelength near 1580 nm. The subsequently coated devices proved difficult to measure, displaying a maximum of 0 dB or 1 dB gain when checked for amplification, with suspicions that output loss (and therefore gain) was higher than measured. The coated devices exhibited gain saturation between -10 and 0 dBm of input power. Owing to the shapes of their characteristic curves, it was determined that SOA devices were successfully created.

▼ This doctoral dissertation focuses on fabrication processes for integrated photonic
devices based on III-V semiconductors. This work covers a range of III-V materials
and a variety of devices. Initially, design, fabrication and optical characterization of aluminum gallium arsenide (AlGaAs) waveguides for enhanced optical nonlinear
interactions was carried out. Based on our results, we proposed a new type of
waveguide for AlGaAs integrated nonlinear optics. Photonic crystal nanocavities
and waveguides are attractive components for integrated photonic devices, due to
their control over spatial, spectral and dispersion properties of light. Fabrication process for high-Q GaAs photonic crystal nanocavities was developed. Design, fabrication and optical characterization of strip-loaded indium gallium arsenide phosphide (InGaAsP) waveguides were then carried out to demonstrate the potential of Quaternary III-V semiconductors for integrated nonlinear optics. Self-phase modulation and four-wave mixing were demonstrated in InGaAsP waveguides and nonlinear absorption was determined experimentally. Gallium nitride (GaN), due to its wide band-gap, has plethora of photonics and optoelectronics applications. First demonstration of GaN waveguides grown on (-201) b-Ga2O3 (gallium oxide) was carried out leading to an experimentally determined propagation loss of 7.5 dB/cm. In summary, this doctoral work presents repeatable and reliable micro and nanofabrication processes for III-V integrated photonic devices.

▼ The electrical properties of nanowire-based n-InSb-n-InAs heterojunctions grown by
chemical beam epitaxy were investigated both theoretically and experimentally. This
heterostructure presented a type-III band alignment with the band bendings at 0.12 eV
for InAs side and 0.16 − 0.21 eV in InSb. Analysis of the temperature dependent current
voltage characteristics showed that the current through the heterojunction is caused
mostly by generation-recombination processes in the InSb and at the heterointerface. Due
to the partially overlapping valence band of InSb and the conduction band of InAs, the
second process was fast and activationless. Theoretical analysis showed that, depending
on the heterojunction parameters, the flux of non-equilibrium minority carriers may have
a different direction, explaining the experimentally observed non-monotonic coordinate
dependence of the electron beam induced current at the vicinity of heterointerface.

▼ Electronic and optical devices typically use bulk or quantum wells today, but nanowires are promising building blocks for future devices, due to their structural characterizations of larger aspect ratio and smaller volume. In situ growth of semiconductor devices is extremely attractive, as it doesn’t require expensive lithography treatment. Over the past ten years, a great deal of work has been done to explore NW, incorporation of group III-V materials and band engineering for the electronic and optoelectronic devices. Because pseudo one-dimensional heterostructures may be grown without involving lattice mismatch defects, NWs may give rise to superior electronic, photonic, and magnetic performances as compared to conventional bulk or planar structures.

▼ There are considerable interests in the use of infrared (IR) photodetectors, in particular mid- and long-wavelength IR detection, for diverse scientific, civil, and military applications. Devices based on the InAs/GaSb or InAs/InAsSb strained-layer-superlattices (SLSs) have gained special attention as the next generation IR photodetectors for replacing current technology based on mercury cadmium telluride. When in contact, InAs and GaSb (or InAs and InAsSb) forms the broken-band alignment (type-II), which gives rise to a narrow effective energy band gap in a short period superlattice, thereby making it suitable for detecting IR radiations of various wavelengths. The advances in epitaxial thin-film growth techniques, such as molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) or metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), have brought dramatic reductions in structural defects, such as misfit dislocations, that are strong carrier scatters and major device failure factors. However, despite the remarkable success in the growth of Type-II SLSs (T2SLs) in the form of dislocation-free thick layers, theoretical promises of high device performance of these structures have yet to be realized, primarily due to the Shockley-Read-Hall recombination process which shortens the minority carrier lifetime. The microscopic origin responsible for the short carrier lifetime is still unknown, which is a major impediment for the further improvements of SLS technologies. Thus, this thesis is motivated by the need of microscopic understanding of structure and defects in T2SLs.
A SLS is typically comprised of alternating lattice-mismatched layers, with thicknesses of the constituent layers on a few nanometer scale. Structural analysis at high spatial resolution is therefore mandatory in order to develop a detailed understanding of SLS structures. Here, scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) is used as a major tool for structural characterization of SLSs. In a STEM with a high angle annular dark field (HAADF) detector, the recorded real space image can be readily interpreted based on the peak intensities and peak positions as the intensity scales with the atomic density and atomic numbers to a good approximation. In particular, a probe forming spherical aberration corrector improves the spatial resolution of STEM to 1 Å or better, thus providing the resolving power for imaging individual atomic columns. Here, HAADF-STEM, together with the advancement in image processing methods, are employed for quantitative structural analysis of InAs/GaSb and InAs/InAsSb T2SLs.
Among the results obtained by this research, first of all, a newly developed pattern recognition method revealed asymmetric interfacial sharpness and chemical intermixing in InAs/GaSb T2SL. A correlative study with atom probe tomography (APT) demonstrates segregation of Ga, In, and Sb, which are crucial information for the optimization of interface design.

▼ Nanoparticles (NPs) have unique electronic, optical and chemical properties due to the extreme small size. Engineered nanoparticles (ENPs) are intentionally produced for desired applications, with specific properties related to shape, size, surface properties and chemistry. Nano-sized silica (SiO2), alumina (Al2O3) and ceria (CeO2) are three important ENPs with large production and wide applications. One of the principal uses of these ENPs is in chemical and mechanical planarization (CMP), a key process applied to polish wafers when fabricating integrated circuits in
semiconductor manufacturing, in which SiO2, Al2O3 and CeO2 NPs are used as abrasive particles in CMP slurries. CMP generates large amounts of waste effluents containing high levels of ENPs. Some ENPs have been proven to be able to cause toxicity to microorganisms and higher life forms, including humans. Therefore, there are concerns about the potential risks that ENPs may pose to the natural environment and human health. In addition,
III-
V materials like indium arsenide (InAs) and gallium arsenide (GaAs) are increasingly used in electronic and photovoltaic devices. Besides ENPs, the waste streams from
III-
V manufacturing also contain dissolved and particulate materials removed from
III-
V films during CMP. Arsenic is one of the most notorious contaminants that has been widely studied, while only very limited ecotoxicity information is available for gallium and indium. Finally, since ENPs have high surface area, it is very likely they will interact with the soluble species (such as arsenic ions) in CMP wastewater. Therefore, it is of great importance to understand whether the interactions between these materials could alter their fate and toxicity. The objective of this work is to investigate the potential environmental and health risks from the ENPs and
III-
V materials used in
semiconductor manufacturing. To this end, the physical, chemical and toxicological characterization of ENPs used in CMP was performed (Chapter 3). Furthermore, the fate and transport of the most used ENP, SiO2, in porous media was studied (Chapter 4). In addition, acute toxicity of As(
III), As(
V), In(
III) and Ga(
III) species was evaluated using different bioassays (Chapter 5). Finally, the cytotoxicity of ENPs used in CMP slurries to human lung bronchial epithelial cells was evaluated using an impedance based real time cell analysis (RTCA) assay (Chapter 6). In Chapter 3, four model slurries containing ENPs including colloidal silica (c-SiO2), fumed silica (f-SiO2) cerium oxide (CeO2) and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) were characterized for their physical, chemical and toxicological properties. Ecotoxicity of these slurries to the marine bacterium, Aliivibrio fischeri, was evaluated by measuring its bioluminescence activity as a function of the ENP concentration dosed. The results showed that f-SiO2 and CeO2 were not toxic at concentrations up to 700 and 1000 mg/L, respectively. On the other hand, c-SiO2 and Al2O3 were inhibitory only at very high concentrations (>600 mg/L). At about 1300…

▼ Hot carrier solar cell is an idea of third generation solar cells, which could boost the energy conversion efficiency greater than 60% at one sun condition through minimizing the carrier thermalization loss. These cells consist of one hot carrier absorber sandwiched by two energy selective contacts. The energy selective contacts are able to extract hot carriers at a certain energy level preventing energy dissipation. On the other hand, the hot carrier absorber plays a more important role, which aims to extend thermalization time to several nanoseconds at least. Some
III-
V semiconductor materials have advantages over the other materials such as small electronic bandgap and large phononic bandgap, which could dramatically reduce the carrier cooling rate through Klemens and/or Ridley decay mechanisms. Furthermore, some unknown mechanisms which might also affect the carrier dynamics are worth for investigation. Therefore it is essential to investigate these specific
III-
V semiconductor materials comprehensively. In this project, specific bulk and multiple quantum well
III-
V semiconductors have been studied in terms of their optical and crystal properties. Energetic neutral atom beam lithography and epitaxy-molecular beam epitaxy (ENABLE-MBE) and conventional molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) were employed to fabricate good quality materials with required parameters. Then a variety of characterization techniques are applied on these samples for their structural and optical properties measurement. Among these techniques, the time resolved photoluminescence (TRPL) in picosecond is the most important technique to indicate carrier cooling rate. On the other hand, several fitting methods on TRPL had been developed and applied on the optical results to figure out the carrier thermalization time. An extend thermalization time was observed in InGaN alloy and carrier lifetime in nanoseconds was achieved in GaAs/AlAs multiple quantum wells in different thicknesses due to bottleneck effect and carrier screening. In general, this project give a comprehensive understanding on the studied materials and concludes that the multiple quantum wells structure might be the most appropriate candidate as a hot carrier absorber for hot carrier solar cells.

▼ Depuis quelques années, les diodes électroluminescentes organiques (OLEDs) connaissent un véritable essor se traduisant par leur intégration progressive au sein d'appareils électroniques « grand public » : téléphones portables, téléviseurs, etc. En dépit d'avantages indéniables, des obstacles — notamment des coûts de fabrication élevés et des durées de vie insuffisantes — freinent encore l'adoption massive de cette technologie. Le remplacement de la couche émissive organique par des quantum dots pourrait résoudre tout ou partie de ces problèmes, tout en améliorant les performances des dispositifs « QD-LEDs » ainsi constitués.L'objectif de cette thèse consiste à élaborer, par voie colloïdale, des nanocristaux semi-conducteurs non toxiques et présentant toutes les caractéristiques requises pour leur intégration dans des QD-LEDs.Un protocole de synthèse de nanoparticules d'antimoniure d'indium (InSb) reposant sur l'injection du précurseur d'antimoine en phase gazeuse a tout d'abord été mis au point. Suite à l'optimisation des différents paramètres de réaction, les nanocristaux obtenus par cette voie présentent un certain nombre de qualités : bonne cristallinité, faible dispersion en taille et excellente stabilité en solution. En revanche, l'absence de photoluminescence — attribuée à la présence d'une coquille amorphe autour du cœur des particules — ne permet pas à l'heure actuelle d'exploiter pleinement ces nanocristaux dans des applications optiques.L'étude a ensuite été dirigée vers la production de quantum dots à base de phosphure d'indium (InP), afin de permettre la réalisation ultérieure d'un dispositif QD-LED fonctionnel. Grâce à l'élaboration de structures à gradient de composition, des nanocristaux dotés d'un fort rendement quantique de photoluminescence ainsi que d'une excellente stabilité en milieu oxydant ont pu être élaborés.Enfin, des essais préliminaires portant sur l'intégration des nanocristaux à base de phosphure d'indium dans des diodes électroluminescentes ont été menés. Le dépôt des quantum dots a été réalisé selon la technique dite de « LANGMUIR-SCHAEFFER stamping » tandis que les autres couches présentes dans l'empilement — à base de petites molécules — ont été élaborées par évaporation. En dépit de performances encore modestes, l'émission des QD-LEDs ainsi produites présente toutefois une nette contribution provenant de la couche de nanocristaux Ces résultats ouvrent ainsi la voie à de nouveaux développements très prometteurs.
During the past few years, organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) gradually appeared in consumer electronics such as smartphones and television sets. Unfortunately, the OLED market is still curbed by some drawbacks of this technology — namely high manufacturing costs and limited lifetime. By replacing the organic emitting layer by quantum dots, one could expect to partially solve these problems and further improve the performances of the so-called QD-LED devices.The aim of this study is to produce semiconductor nanocrystal quantum dots which are non-toxic and exhibit all…

▼ Abstract: Optomechanical and electromechanical systems based on
III-
V semiconductor materials have become a topic of high interest. Beyond the attractive
material properties, this attention is mainly due to the possibility of integrating an optomechanical resonator with a laser cavity in a single device. Theoretical and experimental investigation show that interaction in these hybrid systems can provide enhancement of the optomechanical cooling rate, control of the laser emission, among other effects. In this thesis, we present our work on active optomechanical resonators built on
semiconductor material. Under a semi-classical approach, a model based on the laser rate equations coupled to a harmonic oscillator was developed, with both optical resonance and loss modified by the cavity deformation. This model differs from usual Cavity Optomechanics since both the driving field and the detuning are absent, leading to a control done by current injection. A novel coupling model between mechanical vibration and laser relaxation oscillation is derived from the system dynamics, such that the amplification regime is achieved for certain value of overall optomechanical strength. Under this condition, photons and mechanical vibration present self-sustained oscillation – therefore, a self-pulsed laser is obtained. Instrumentation for the fabrication and measurement of an optomechanical laser was developed based on microdisk geometry with optical pump and purely dispersive optomechanical coupling. We then present an investigation of the relevant parameters for the design of an optomechanical laser cavity based on GaAs platform. Laser emission and optomechanical interaction are predicted and observed in microdisks with quantum well gain medium. We discuss the significant challenges involved in obtaining an optomechanical laser. Finally, we present the design of a realistic optomechanical laser with a strong enhancement of the optomechanical coupling employing both dispersive and dissipative mechanisms. Essentially an active optomechanical bullseye with very strong dispersive coupling is combined with a dissipative structure, an external metallic ring. The dispersive interaction is enhanced by the confinement of mechanical and optical modes near the disk edge and the dissipative coupling effect is provided by near field interaction with the metallic ring separated by a small gap. This novel dissipative optomechanical device is shown to potentially result in a realistic optomechanical laser

▼ L'objectif de cette thèse est d'étudier les propriétés physico-chimiques des surfaces et des interfaces des couches minces par spectroscopie de photoémission (XPS), diffraction des photoélectrons (XPD), et la photoémission résolue en temps (PTR). Les expériences sont réalisées en utilisant une source standard des rayons X AlKa à l'INL ou les rayons X mous auprès du synchrotron Soleil. La première étude sur le système Pt/ Gd203/ Si(111) a montré que le transfert de charge entre le Pt et 0 à l'interface Pt/Gd203 implique un déplacement chimique de niveau Pt4f sans modification des caractéristiques de la composante métallique des spectres XPS. L'étude XPD montre que Pt se cristallise partiellement en deux domaines : [110] Pt(111) // [110] Gd203 (111) et [101] Pt(111) / / [110] Gd203 (111). De plus, une autre phase ordonnée d'oxyde de platine Pt02 à l'interface a été observée. A travers la caractérisation de la morphologie déterminée par la technique AFM et XPD, nous avons discuté l'adhésion aux interfaces métal/oxyde. La deuxième étude traite l'évolution d'interface d'un système modèle : métal non réactive/ semi-conducteur, dépendent fortement des conditions thermodynamiques. Nous avons étudié la couche mince d'Au déposée sur le substrat Si(001) par photoémission résolue en temps (TEMPO- synchrotron Soleil). L'étude XPS, montre avant le recuit la formation de l'oxyde native Si02 sur l'heterostructure à température ambiante. La désorption de cet oxyde se produit à faible température et induit une décroissance de l'intensité des photoélectrons durant le temps de recuit. La désorption de l'oxyde Si02 et la formation de l'alliage AuSi sont responsables de la gravure et la formation des puits de forme cubique à la surface de Si due à l'activité catalytique de l'Au. La troisième étude concerne la croissance du graphène à partir de cristal de SiC(0001)- face Si par décomposition thermique. Le niveau de coeur C1s résolu en trois composantes principales sont associées au carbone de 6H-SiC, de graphène, et l'interface graphène/ 6H-SiC (0001). L'intensité de chaque composante est rapportée en fonction de l'angle polaire (azimutale) pour différents angles azimutales (polaire). Les mesures XPD fournissent des informations cristallographiques qui indiquent clairement que les feuillets de graphène sont organisés en structure graphite sur le substrat 6H-SiC (0001). Cette organisation résulte de l’effondrement de la maille de substrat. Enfin, le découplage à l'interface graphène/ 6H-SiC (0001) par l'oxygène a été étudié par XPS. La dernière étude concerne la croissance du film mince d'InP par MBE sur le substrat SrTi03 (001). L'intégration des semi-conducteurs
III-
V sur le Si, en utilisant la couche tampon d'oxyde SrTi03 est l'objet des intenses recherches, en raison des applications prometteuses dans le domaine de nano-optoélectronique. Les niveaux de coeur O1s, Sr3d, Ti2p, In3d, P2p ont été analysés et rapportés en fonction de l'angle azimutale à différents angles polaires. La comparaison des courbes XPD azimutales de Sr3d et In3d…

▼ IQE (Europe) Ltd. manufactures group III/V compound semiconductor material structures, using the Metal Organic Vapour Phase Epitaxy process. The manufactured ranges of semi-conducting materials are relative to discrete or multi-compound use of Gallium Arsenide or Indium Phosphide [III/V]. For MOVPE to compete in large-scale markets, the manufacturing process requires transformation into a reliable, repeatable production process. This need is identified within the process scrap percentage of the process when benchmarked against the more mature Si-CVD process. With this wide-ranging product base and different material systems, flexible processes and systems are essential. The negative impact however, of this demanded flexibility is a complex system, resulting in instability. Minor fluctuations in time, flow, pressure, temperature, or composition in the manufacturing process, will lead to characteristic differences in the produced material [product], when comparing the prescribed run to the actual run. The product profile changes very rapidly, correspondingly the failure profile of the process is equally as dynamic, it is essential therefore that the analysis and projected activities and actions can be identified and consolidated in a timely manner. This project evaluates the process used by IQEE to manufacture III/V compound semi-conducting material structures and uses the business performance to identify the process drivers. One year's [1997] business and process information is used for a single iteration of the improvement cycle. These drivers are then utilised as operators and offer the critical weaknesses in the process related to performance blockages. Some of the techniques utilised in the process evaluation and cause derivation; are original contributions specifically derived for use with a multi-platform complex process with multiple cause and effect operators. A double reporting FMEA contributes a differing rank for like machines running differing products, offering a machine specific failure profile. A novel composite of P-diagram and process flow techniques enables determination of activity influences confirming the key failure mechanism as previously identified by the business risk analysis. This project concludes by nominating the key failure mechanism accounting for 41% of the approximate 50% scrap figure identified again within the business risk analysis. The effects attributed to this failure mechanism are 2- dimensionally analysed utilising an original double operating FMEA, plotting effect to effect for the individual causes, offering a prioritised list of failure categories. The highest priority failure mode is addressed by an equipment design exercise, resulting in an overall 10% sales potential recontribution.

▼ Due to the high electron mobility compared with Si, much attention has been focused on
III-
V compound semiconductors (gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium phosphide (InP), indium gallium arsenide (InGaAs)) high-speed devices. The high-k
material TiO2 not only has high dielectric constant (k =35-100) but also has well lattice match with GaAs, InP and InGaAs substrate. Therefore, titanium oxide (TiO2) was chosen to be the gate oxide in this study, and aluminum oxide (Al2O3) has high bandgap (Eg~9eV) and self-cleaning capability, we use TiO2 and Al2O3 stack layers to decrease leakage currents and increase capacitance.
The major problem of

The surface passivation of

▼ Extensive research efforts have been devoted to the study and development of III-V compound semiconductor nanowires (NWs) and nanopillars (NPs) because of their unique physical properties and ability to form high quality, highly lattice-mismatched axial and radial heterostructures. These advantages lead to precise nano-bandgap engineering to achieve new device functionalities. One unique and powerful approach to realize these NPs is by catalyst-free, selective-area epitaxy (SAE) via metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, in which the NP location and diameter can be precisely controlled lithographically. Early demonstrations of electronic and optoelectronic devices based on these NPs, however, are often inferior compared to their planar counterparts due to a few factors: (1) interface/surface states, (2) inaccurate doping calibration, and (3) increased carrier scattering and trapping from stacking fault formation in the NPs. In this study, the detailed growth mechanisms of different III-As, III-Sb and III-P NPs and their heterostructures are investigated. These NPs are then fabricated into single-NP field-effect transistors (FETs) to probe their electrical properties. It is shown that these devices are highly diameter-dependent, mainly because of the effects of surface states. By growing a high band-gap shell around the NP cores to passivate the surface, the device performance can be significantly improved. Further fabrication and characterization of vertical surround-gate FETs using a high-mobility InAs/InP NP channel is also discussed. Aside from the radial NP heterostructures, different approaches to achieve purely axial heterostructures in InAs/In(As)P materials are also presented with excellent interface quality. Both single barrier and double barrier structures are realized and fabricated into devices that show carrier transport characteristics over a barrier and even resonant tunneling behavior. Antimonide-based NPs are also studied for their immense application in high-speed electronics and mid-IR optoelectronics. Different growth regimes are probed to achieve InSb NPs and InAsSb NPs.

▼ Single-event mechanisms in InAlSb/InAs/AlGaSb high electron mobility transistors (HEMTs) are identified and investigated. Single-event transients are characterized using broadbeam and microbeam experiments along with 2-D technology computer-aided design (TCAD) modeling. The experiments show that single-event transients can be generated not only in the channel region but also across the drain-source alloy and buffer interface. The prevalence of strong single-event transient sensitivity to gate bias is demonstrated through broadbeam experiments, where the integrated charge peaks at threshold bias and drops off at both depletion and accumulation biases. A type-II band alignment in the InAlSb/InAs/AlGaSb HEMT modulating charge transport and electric field in the channel is shown to be responsible for the observed single-event transient sensitivity to gate bias. The effects of processing-induced device threshold voltage variations on the corresponding single-event response are studied through 2-D TCAD modeling.

▼ An ammonium polysulfide (NH4)2Sx solution was optimized through a series of experiments to be used for surface passivation of III-V nanowires . The effectiveness of sulfur passivation was investigated by measuring the photoluminescence from p-InP nanowires before and after passivation. The optimized parameters included solvent type, molarity and passivation time. According to the experiments, passivation of nanowires in 0.5 M solution diluted in isopropyl alcohol for 5 min produced the maximum photoluminescence improvement. It was also demonstrated that the whole surface passivation of vertical nanowires in ensemble samples caused a 40 times increase in the photoluminescence intensity while top surface passivation of individual nanowires resulted in a 20 times increase of photoluminescence intensity. A model was developed to calculate the photoluminescence from single nanowires under different surface recombination and surface potential. The model showed that the 40 times increase in the photoluminescence is mainly due to the reduction of surface state density from 1012 cm-2 before passivation to 5×1010 cm-2 after passivation. The effect of sulfur passivation on core-shell p-n junction GaAs nanowire solar cells has been investigated. The relative cell efficiency increased by 19% after passivation.

▼ We employ cross–sectional scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) to examine
how an as–grown InAs/InAsSb superlattice differs from the intended one as regards
translational invariance in (001) planes perpendicular to the growth direction. This
requires atomic–resolution, lateral surveys paralleling the buffer/epilayer interface for up
to a micron in orthogonal (–1–10) or (1–10) cross sections, together with repeated lateral
surveys at representative vertical locations (i.e., spanned superlattice repeats) within the
multilayer stack.
We show that STM may be used to accurately map the period fluctuations
throughout this superlattice. The concept, analogous to Bragg's law in high–resolution
x–ray diffraction, relies on an analysis of the [001]–convolved reciprocal–space satellite
peaks obtained from discrete Fourier transforms of individual STM images. Properly
implemented, the technique enables local period measurements that reliably discriminate
lateral fluctuations localized to within ~ 40 nm along <110> directions in the growth
plane. While not as accurate as x–ray, the inherent, single–image measurement error
associated with the method may be made as small as 0.1%, allowing the lateral period
fluctuations contributing to inhomogeneous energy broadening and carrier localization in
these structures to be pinpointed and quantified. The direct visualization of
unexpectedly–large fluctuations on nanometer length scales is tied to a stochastic
description of correlated interface roughness.
We also introduce a new technique to automatically tabulate the crystalline
coordinates of previously–identified top–layer antimony atoms and construct the
antimony pair–correlation functions for orthogonal cross sections. Nearest–neighbor
correlations on opposing cleavage faces are inversely related, with the (–1–10) deficit at
nearest–neighbor sites balanced by a compensating (1–10) surplus. The logarithm of this
preference scales inversely with bulk antimony fraction. In more vivid physical terms,
the preferential [110]–incorporation of nearest–neighbor antimony atoms in the bulk is
traced to the inferred concentration of [110]–oriented antimony dimers at the growth
surface

(more)
▼ As a solution to solving energy consumption and
environment problems, photovoltaics has become one type of the
promising devices to convert solar energy into electricity
directly. In some special areas like in space, a kind of
photovoltaics with lightweight and reliable properties is needed to
supply power. Therefore, photovoltaics based on the group III-V
semiconductor nanowires has been emerged and developed nowadays.
However, a large surface-to-volume ratio in nanowires leads to
high-density surface traps and therefore could degrade the
performance of photovoltaics. In general, the properties of
applications are dominated by the behaviours of charge carriers in
semiconductors. Therefore, it is important to understand all
processes which are related to charge carriers in semiconductors.
In this thesis, a series of surface passivation methods are applied
to lower the density of trap states and consequently improve the
lifetime of photogenerated charge carriers in group III-V bulk and
nanowire materials. We show that the GaNAs and AlGaAs passivation
layers help to lower the trap density at the GaAs surface.
Similarly, we have investigated the AlyIn(1-y)P passivated
GaxIn(1-x)P nanowires with a great potential for multi-junction
photovoltaic applications. Concerning InP nanowires, we
investigated why optimal HCl etching provides less surface defects.
Although the density of surface defect in InP is lower than in
GaAs, an insulating layer is still needed to isolate the active InP
nanowires and the electrodes. In this respect, we demonstrated that
an appropriate POx/Al2O3 capped layer works as a passivation and
insulating layer. By means of several steady-state and
time-resolved spectroscopies, such as time-resolved
photoluminescence, transient absorption, and time-resolved
terahertz spectroscopy, prospective passivation layers or
conditions are screened for GaAs bulk, GaAs NW, InP NW, and GaInP
NW materials. On the fundamental side, we find that charge trapping
by several types of trap states dominates the primary steps of
charge carrier dynamics and results in predominantly non-radiative
recombination of photogenerated charges. Some trapping channels can
be saturated via high charge generation rate under irradiation of
the semiconductors by high intensity short optical pulses.
Meanwhile, the atomic composition in ternary semiconductors, like
Ga in GaxIn1−xP NWs plays a crucial role in the unexpected
formation of deep traps. With the increase of Ga fraction, the fast
electron trapping, hole trapping, and non-radiative recombination
become more efficient.These spectrum studies in this thesis not
only help us to select a potential passivation method for group
III-V bulk and nanowires materials, but also reveal the carrier
behaviour in these materials. Based on these understanding, several
methods of characterization of the optoelectronic materials
performance are derived.

To support the network, cost-efficient optical transceivers have become the technology of choice, since they provide the required bandwidth density, distance and power efficiency. However, optical transceivers require many components such as lasers, photodetectors, optical modulators and electrical circuits to be assembled. This assembly represents a substantial fraction of the total transceiver cost. Hence, a monolithic integration of these components is a well-known way to reduce this cost. Today, all building blocks of an optical transceiver can be fabricated in the monolithic Silicon Photonics platform – except the laser. Integrating
III-
V materials, required for building on-chip lasers on silicon is therefore key for further cost reduction. In this thesis, an integration technology is developed to embed
III-
V based light sources in a CMOS Silicon Photonics platform. This technology allows lasers, photonic components and electronic circuits to be fabricated on the same chip. With such tight integration, compact and cost-efficient optical transceivers can be realized, both key for future high-speed and high-volume optical interconnects.

▼ Seamless integration of embedded dielectric microstructures in
III-
V crystal growth is a continued area of research due to its numerous high-impact applications. Historically, investigations into embedded dielectric microstructures within existing crystal growth techniques were focused on blocking dislocations at the
III-
V/dielectric interface in the production of low defect relaxed high mismatched heteroepitaxy. However, recent efforts have broadened the use of embedded dielectric microstructures for enhancement of optoelectronic device functionality and development of monolithic growth schemes toward integrated photonic circuits.
The central challenge of embedding dielectric microstructures in
III-
V materials is achieving single-crystal high-quality planar coalescence within existing conventional
III-
V crystal growth techniques without defect. While prevalent in the field of
III-
V crystal growth, solid-source Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) has a well-known "coalescence problem," historically lacking approaches that achieve planar coalescence over dielectric microstructures. Limited coalescence is in large part due to low diffusion of
III-adatoms on dielectric surfaces, typically below 300nm, readily forming polycrystalline deposition on dielectric surfaces exceeding this diffusion length. Several solid-source MBE highly-selective growth and lateral epitaxial overgrowth (LEO) growth approaches have been reported; however, none demonstrating complete planar coalescence over dielectric microstructures.
In this dissertation, to overcome the "coalescence problem," we demonstrate for the first time a general methodology for an all-MBE growth of high-quality planar coalescence over a variety of embedded dielectric microstructures. Underpinning the approach, we developed a two-stage all-MBE growth approach for GaAs and InAs on (001) substrates, producing highly selective LEO and planarization, returning the growth front to the (001) surface. Characterization of the growth approach demonstrates for the first time an all-MBE approach to planar coalescence. In application of the two-stage all-MBE growth approach towards photonics, we demonstrate enhancement of quantum emitters using buried silica gratings arrays and develop several methodologies for embedded high-contrast photonic materials through self-formed air voids and molded air channel processes. Lastly, in application to high-quality relaxed high mismatch heteroepitaxy, we demonstrate for the first time an all-MBE approach to
III-
V metamorphic heteroepitaxy, demonstrating threading dislocation reduction in InAs/GaAs metamorphics with high fill factor embedded silica gratings. Thus, from the
material presented here, we provide several significant advances to the long-standing challenge of marrying high-quality
semiconductor crystal growth with dielectric microstructures, unlocking several high-impact applications, including high-quality
material pathways for enhanced quantum emitters and embedded metasurfaces as well as an all-MBE approach toward…

▼ We have studied the interaction of light with an
array of vertically oriented III-V semiconductor nanowires both
theoretically and experimentally. For the theoretical studies,
electromagnetic modeling has been employed. This modeling shows
that with proper tuning of the nanowire diameter, the absorption
per volume semiconductor material can be 20 times higher in the
nanowires than in a corresponding bulk semiconductor sample. This
enhancement occurs when nanophotonic resonances show up in the
nanowires. We have shown that the optical response of a nanowire
array can be described by electrostatics for small-diameter
nanowires and by geometrical optics for large-diameter nanowires.
None of these two limit cases showed resonances, motivating the
interest for the intermediate nanophotonic regime where the
diameter of the nanowires is comparable to the wavelength of the
incident light. Supported by theoretical analysis, we have shown
experimentally a resonant photodetection response in an InAsSb
nanowire array in the infrared region, which is of potential
interest for thermal imaging and chemical analysis. Furthermore, we
have demonstrated a solar cell based on InP nanowires. The
nanowire-array solar cell showed an efficiency of 13.8 % and
converted more than 70 % of the above-bandgap photons into
electron-hole pairs that contributed to the short-circuit current,
even though the nanowires covered only 12 % of the surface. By
combining the electromagnetic modeling with reflectance
measurements, we have developed an optical method for
simultaneously measuring both the diameter and the length of
nanowires in large-area arrays. The accuracy of the method is
comparable to that of scanning electron microscopy. Furthermore, we
have developed tools for studying the crystal-phase dependent
optical response of III-V materials. The studies showed that a
tuning of the crystal phase, which is possible in the nanowire
geometry, can be used for enabling and disabling strongly absorbing
nanophotonic resonances in nanowire arrays.
