This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Depuis le début des années 2000, une vaste classe de nanofils de nitrures d'éléments III et de ZnO peut être synthétisée avec un excellent contrôle des propriétés de dopage et de composition. La géométrie spécifique de ces nanofils permet de faire croître des hétérostructures radiales et axiales qui ont des propriétés optiques et de transport très avantageuses par rapport aux couches minces. Ces propriétés en font des candidats prometteurs pour la réalisation d'une nouvelle génération de dispositifs plus efficaces (LEDs, photodétecteurs,...). Pour cela, il est indispensable de comprendre les nouveaux effets induits par la géométrie particulière de ces nanostructures : c'est l'objet de cette thèse. Dans une première partie, je présente une étude des propriétés optiques de nanofils de semiconducteurs à grande énergie de bande interdite. J'analyse d'abord l'effet de la contrainte sur les propriétés d'émission des nanofils cœur-coquille GaN/AlGaN. En particulier, je mets en évidence le croisement des bandes de valence et son influence sur les propriétés optiques des nanofils. Ensuite, je me focalise sur l'effet du confinement quantique et les propriétés de polarisation dans les nanofils hétérostructurés de nitrures d'éléments III. Dans une seconde partie, je m'intéresse à la réalisation et à la caractérisation de dispositifs à base de nanofils de nitrures d'éléments III et de ZnO. J'expose tout d'abord la modélisation et l'étude expérimentale de photodétecteurs à ensemble de nanofils en mettant en avant l'influence des états de surface sur leur réponse. Je m'intéresse ensuite aux propriétés de transport dans des nanofils uniques de nitrures d'éléments III hétérostructurés. Je montre, en particulier, que ces hétérostructures sont le siège d'une résistance différentielle négative. Enfin, je présente la réalisation et la caractérisation de photodétecteurs et de LEDs utilisant des nanofils uniques InGaN/GaN cœur-coquille. Un modèle électrique équivalent permet de rendre compte du comportement observé.

Download or read book Molecular Beam Epitaxy written by John Wilfred Orton and published by . This book was released on 2015 with total page 529 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The book is a history of Molecular Beam Epitaxy (MBE) as applied to the growth of semiconductor thin films (note that it does not cover the subject of metal thin films). It begins by examining the origins of MBE, first of all looking at the nature of molecular beams and considering their application to fundamental physics, to the development of nuclear magnetic resonance and to the invention of the microwave MASER. It shows how molecular beams of silane (SiH4) were used to study the nucleation of silicon films on a silicon substrate and how such studies were extended to compound semiconductors such as GaAs. From such surface studies in ultra-high vacuum the technique developed into a method of growing high quality single crystal films of a wide range of semiconductors. Comparing this with earlier evaporation methods of deposition and with other epitaxial deposition methods such as liquid phase and vapour phase epitaxy (LPE and VPE). The text describes the development of MBE machines from the early 'home-made' variety to that of commercial equipment and show how MBE was gradually refined to produce high quality films with atomic dimensions. This was much aided by the use of various in-situ surface analysis techniques, such as reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and mass spectrometry, a feature unique to MBE. It looks at various modified versions of the basic MBE process, then proceed to describe their application to the growth of so-called 'low-dimensional structures' (LDS) based on ultra-thin heterostructure films with thickness of order a few molecular monolayers. Further chapters cover the growth of a wide range of different compounds and describe their application to fundamental physics and to the fabrication of electronic and opto-electronic devices. The authors study the historical development of all these aspects and emphasise both the (often unexpected) manner of their discovery and development and the unique features which MBE brings to the growth of extremely complex structures with monolayer accuracy.

Download or read book III Nitride Semiconductors written by M.O. Manasreh and published by Elsevier. This book was released on 2000-12-06 with total page 463 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research advances in III-nitride semiconductor materials and device have led to an exponential increase in activity directed towards electronic and optoelectronic applications. There is also great scientific interest in this class of materials because they appear to form the first semiconductor system in which extended defects do not severely affect the optical properties of devices. The volume consists of chapters written by a number of leading researchers in nitride materials and device technology with the emphasis on the dopants incorporations, impurities identifications, defects engineering, defects characterization, ion implantation, irradiation-induced defects, residual stress, structural defects and phonon confinement. This unique volume provides a comprehensive review and introduction of defects and structural properties of GaN and related compounds for newcomers to the field and stimulus to further advances for experienced researchers. Given the current level of interest and research activity directed towards nitride materials and devices, the publication of the volume is particularly timely. Early pioneering work by Pankove and co-workers in the 1970s yielded a metal-insulator-semiconductor GaN light-emitting diode (LED), but the difficulty of producing p-type GaN precluded much further effort. The current level of activity in nitride semiconductors was inspired largely by the results of Akasaki and co-workers and of Nakamura and co-workers in the late 1980s and early 1990s in the development of p-type doping in GaN and the demonstration of nitride-based LEDs at visible wavelengths. These advances were followed by the successful fabrication and commercialization of nitride blue laser diodes by Nakamura et al at Nichia. The chapters contained in this volume constitutes a mere sampling of the broad range of research on nitride semiconductor materials and defect issues currently being pursued in academic, government, and industrial laboratories worldwide.
