Charge Transport Study of InGaAs Two-Color QWIPs

Abstract

In this thesis, a series of experiments were performed to characterize the material properties of InGaAs/GaAs for use in a two-color quantum-well IR photodetector (QWIP) design. Results from room temperature studies using cathodoluminescence and photoluminescence indicated light emission at 858 nm and 1019 nm from GaAs and In-GaAs, respectively. Using a direct transport imaging technique, an edge dislocation pattern was observed and shown to be confined to the InGaAs layer of the material. A dislocation density measurement was performed and was shown to be less than 2000 lines/cm.
