p型半导体中简并少数载流子的扩散

Diffusion of degenerate minority carriers in a p-type semiconductor

C. P. Weber, Eric A. Kittlaus

摘要:

我们报道了15 K下重p型InP的超快瞬态光栅实验。我们的测量揭示了光激发电子和空穴的动力学和扩散作为其密度n的函数在2 E16至6 E17 cm-3的范围内。在最初的几皮秒之后,光栅主要由于双极扩散而衰减。虽然在低密度下,我们观察到一个制度,其中双极扩散是电子占主导地位,并迅速增加与n,在高n,它似乎饱和在34平方厘米/秒。我们提出了一个简单的计算,再现我们的测量以及以前发表的测量,显示扩散是一个平坦的或递减的函数n的主要结果。通过考虑密度对电荷敏感性的影响,我们发现,在p型半导体中,我们观察到的增加双极扩散的制度是重掺杂和低温下所特有的,其中空穴和电子都是简并的;在这种制度下,电子和双极扩散几乎相等。的饱和被确定为交叉双极扩散占主导地位的多数载流子,空穴。在短时间内,瞬态光栅信号逐渐上升。这种上升揭示了冷却的热电子,并在高的光生载流子密度,使我们能够测量双极扩散110平方厘米/秒的热载流子制度。

英文摘要:

We report ultrafast transient-grating experiments on heavily p-type InP at 15 K. Our measurement reveals the dynamics and diffusion of photoexcited electrons and holes as a function of their density n in the range 2E16 to 6E17 cm-3. After the first few picoseconds the grating decays primarily due to ambipolar diffusion. While at low density we observe a regime in which the ambipolar diffusion is electron-dominated and increases rapidly with n, at high n it appears to saturate at 34 cm2/s. We present a simple calculation that reproduces the main results of our measurements as well as of previously published measurements that had shown diffusion to be a flat or decreasing function of n. By accounting for effect of density on charge susceptibility we show that, in p-type semiconductors, the regime we observe of increasing ambipolar diffusion is unique to heavy doping and low temperature, where both the holes and electrons are degenerate; in this regime the electronic and ambipolar diffusion are nearly equal. The saturation is identified as a crossover to ambipolar diffusion dominated by the majority carriers, the holes. At short times the transient-grating signal rises gradually. This rise reveals cooling of hot electrons and, at high photocarrier density, allows us to measure ambipolar diffusion of 110 cm2/s in the hot-carrier regime.
