摘要:

本文对超宽带隙铝镓氧化物((AlxGa 1-x)2 O3)/镓氧化物(Ga 2 O3)量子阱系统的子带间跃迁进行了理论研究。传统的材料系统已经成熟为成功的子带间器件应用,例如用于可再现成像系统的大面积量子阱红外光电探测器(QWIR)焦平面阵列,但是从根本上受限于中波长和长波长红外应用的最大导带偏移。短红外和近红外器件对于光通信系统和生物医学成像应用具有重要的技术意义,但由于这个原因,在子带间设计中难以实现。本文采用第一性原理方法,对单斜$β$(AlxGa 1x)2 O3/Ga 2 O3材料系统的设计空间进行了估算,其设计范围从短波红外(1 ~ 3μm)到远红外(大于30μm)。我们估计了两个QWIPs在长波长和短波长范围内的性能指标,包括在光通信波长λp 1.55μm处的高室温探测率(约10^11 Jones)的估计。我们的研究结果表明,快速成熟的(AlxGa 1-x)2 O3/Ga 2 O3材料系统的潜力,打开子带间器件应用的大门。

英文摘要:

We provide theoretical consideration of intersubband transitions designed in the ultrawide bandgap Aluminum Gallium Oxide ((AlxGa1-x)2O3)/Gallium Oxide (Ga2O3)) quantum well system. Conventional material systems have matured into successful intersubband device applications such as large area quantum well infrared photodetector(QWIP) focal plane arrays for reproducible imaging systems but are fundamentally limited via maximum conduction band offsets to mid and long wavelength infrared applications. Short and near infrared devices are technologically important to optical communications systems and biomedical imaging applications, but are difficult to realize in intersubband designs for this reason. In this work, we use a first principles approach to estimate the expansive design space of monoclinic $β$(AlxGa1x)2O3/Ga2O3 material system, which reaches from short wavelength infrared (1 to 3μm) to far infrared (greater than 30μm) transition wavelengths. We estimate the performance metrics of two QWIPs operating in the long and short wavelength regimes, including an estimation of high room temperature detectivity (about 10^11 Jones) at the optical communication wavelength λp 1.55μm. Our findings demonstrate the potential of the rapidly maturing (AlxGa1-x)2O3/Ga2O3 material system to open the door for intersubband device applications.
