Wallplug efficiencies as high as 12.7% have been achieved for top-emitting VCSELs (vertical cavity surface emitting lasers) by addressing the associated complication of peripheral contacts on proton-bombarded regions in addition to mirror resistance. The two major technical advances that have resulted in the improved wallplug efficiencies are low-resistance p-type DBRs (distributed Bragg reflectors) and low resistance contacts to implanted regions of the DBR. VCSELs designed for 980-nm wavelength have been fabricated from epitaxial material incorporating these advances. Typical device characteristics including 2 mW in the fundamental mode and 2 V thresholds are routinely accomplished. Initially, wallplug efficiencies of 10% were typical; however, subsequent rapid thermal anneals increased the typical efficiency of 11% due to slight decreases in threshold current and slight increases in the initial slope efficiency. The efficiency increased further after an 8 h burn-in at a current of 10 mA. The highest efficiency measured after burn-in was 12.7% and occurred at 1.5 mW in the fundamental mode. >","PeriodicalId":310841,"journal":{"name":"51st Annual Device Research Conference","volume":"90 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1993-06-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126241300","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

(HEMTs) have shown However, the power performance of the AlInAdGaInAs channel HEMT has yet to be exploited [2]. The reason is a combination of the lower breakdown voltage in the InGaAs channel and the weak Schottky-barrier height on A M s . On the other hand, the high current densities, due to the large sheet charge density available in the AlInAdGaInAs system make it attractive for millimeter-wave power. Therefore, to optimize the power performance of the AlInAdGaInAs HEMT, the gate barrier height and the breakdown voltage must be improved without sacrificing currcnt density. We present a technology to increase the gatedrain breakdown of AlInAs-GalnAs HEMTs tb record values without substantial impact on other parameters such as Idss and gm. The breakdown in these structures is dependent on the multiplication of electrons injected from the gate (gate leakage) and the source (source cumnt) into the channel. In addition holes are generated by high fields at the drain and arc swept back into the gate and source electrodes. These phenomena can be suppressed by increasing the gate barrier height and alleviating the fields at the drain. In our approach we have achieved both by incorporating a P+ 2DEG junction as the gate which modulates the 2DEG gas and by utilizing a selective regrowth of the some and drain regions by MOCVD. The l p gate-length devices fabricated show a full channel current of 340 “m, transconductance of 240 mS/mm and record high gate-drain breakdown voltage of 3OV (4;~ = l p ) at lmA/mm gate leakage.

The most successful example to-day is the quantum well infrared photodetector (QWIP). We present a novel concept of a multicolor QWIP by stacking the usual one-color QWIPs separated by thin (z 100 nm in our test structure) conducting layers. We rely on the highly non-linear and exponential nature of the device dark current-voltage characteristics. This implies that an applied voltage across the entire multistack would be distributed among the one-color QWIPs according to their values of dc resistances. Thus, when the applied voltage is increased from zero, most of the voltage will be dropped across the one-color QWIP with the highest resistance. As the voltage is further increased, an increasing fraction of the voltage will be dropped across the next highest resistance onecolor QWIP, and so on. Since the detector responsivity of a one-color QWIP gradually turns on with applied voltage, we therefore can achieve a multicolor QWIP with spectral response peaks that turn on sequentially with an applied voltage.

The optimal detector is a background limited photodetector (BLIP, i.e. JB >> JD). For practical applications, the total current density (= JB+JD) must be compatible with the charge handling capacity of the read-out circuit.' The desirable operating temperature of the detector for thermal imaging is 77K. We report a BLIP infrared hot-electron transistor (IHET) with current density compatible with the read-out circuit at 77K. To reduce JD, we have designed a new GaAs/Al,Gal_,As QWIP, in which the aluminum molar ratio of the barriers increases in three steps. This barrier is able to suppress the dark current due to thermally assisted tunneling by providing a thicker effective barrier when the structure is under bias. The remaining J D is also largely eliminated by designing a band pass filter placed adjacent to the QWIP. The IHET is grown by MBE in the following sequence: Emitter -6000-A n' GaAs ( 1 . 2 ~ 1 0 ' ~ ~ m ~ ) ; QWIP -30 periods of 50-A nf-GaAs quantum well (1 .2x101' ~ m ~ ) , and three-step Al,Gal_,As barrier (x=0.28, 0.305, and 0.33; thickness: 161 A, 167 A, and 173 A); Base -300-A n+ Ino.ljGao.8;As and 200-A n+ GaAs ( 1 . 0 ~ 1 0 ' ~ ~ m ~ ) ; Energy band pass filter -40-A Alo.3Gao.~As, 50-A GaAs, 40-8, Alo.3Gao.~As, and 1999-A Alo.25Gao.85As; Collector -1 . l-pm nf GaAs ( 1 . 2 ~ 1 0 ' ~ ~ m ~ ) . At 77K, with VBE up to 2V, the dark current afetr filtering is a t least 10' times smaller than that of the typical QWIP. At VBE = 2V, JD is approximately equal to JB and is within the current limit of the read-out circuit, and %BLIP (= noise current due to JB / total noise current) is 70% under a high photon flux background.
