摘要:

III-V族氮化物中的大电子极化允许在其他半导体家族中不可能的新颖物理。本文利用极化诱导电场研究了宽禁带GAN异质结中的带间齐纳隧穿。由此产生的隧道二极管在反向偏置下更导电,其具有零偏置整流和毫米波成像的应用。由于带间隧穿在宽带隙半导体中传统上是禁止的,因此这些偏振诱导结构及其变体可以实现许多器件,例如可以在高温和高场下操作的多结太阳能电池。

英文摘要:

The large electronic polarization in III-V nitrides allow for novel physics not possible in other semiconductor families. In this work, interband Zener tunneling in wide-bandgap GaN heterojunctions is demonstrated by using polarization-induced electric fields. The resulting tunnel diodes are more conductive under reverse bias, which has applications for zero-bias rectification and mm-wave imaging. Since interband tunneling is traditionally prohibitive in wide-bandgap semiconductors, these polarization-induced structures and their variants can enable a number of devices such as multijunction solar cells that can operate under elevated temperatures and high fields.
