Graded band gap ohmic contact to p-ZnSe

Abstract: We describe a low-resistance quasi-ohmic contact to p-ZnSe which involves the injection of holes from heavily doped ZnTe into ZnSe via a Zn(Se,Te) pseudograded band gap region. The specific contact resistance is measured to be in the range of 2–8×10−3 Ω cm2. The graded heterostructure scheme is incorporated as an efficient injector of holes for laser diode and light emitting diode devices, demonstrating the usefulness of this new contact scheme at actual device current densities.

“…This constitutes a reduction of a E from the reported acceptor binding energy in ZnTe [38], which had already been observed in bulk ZnSe:N [39]. According to what has been discussed in the present work, this smaller value would arise as a conse- quence of many-body effects, which we introduce in the single particle states through the Hartree-Fock potential derived from TFD considerations, but supporting the conjecture of Fan et.…”

“…The devices are used in optical processing, detecting systems for environmental pollution, and color-displaying modules [1]. To enhance the performance of these optoelectronic devices structural quality [1], ohmic contacts [2], band offsets [3] and device degradation [4] pose serious problems. There is a hunt for credible alternatives to improve performance of optoelectronic devices by minimizing the contact potentials and reducing the lattice mismatch in II-VI compounds.…”

“…Les semi-conducteurs II-VI sont des matériaux qui promettent énormément du point de vue des applications optoélectroniques [1], précisément dans la réalisation des dispositifs émetteurs de lumière et des détecteurs de lumière [2,3]. Principalement, issu de la famille des semi-conducteurs à gap direct avec une largeur de bande interdite de 2,26 eV (549 nm) à 300K et un paramètre de maille a = 6,10132 Å, le ZnTe est considéré comme la structure appropriée pour la réalisation de diodes émettrices de lumière verte, des photodétecteurs UV-verts et des cellules solaires multi-jonctions [4,5,6,7,8,9,10].…”
