Strain in semiconductor structures and devices

Abstract: We review the use of large strains both in the design and in the study of semiconductor structures and devices. Large hydrostatic pressures may be applied to samples and devices. This changes the band structure qualitatively without changing the crystal symmetry. We present some results obtained studying lasers by this technique, which reveal the loss mechanism dominating the threshold current. A new high-pressure determination of the InGaAs/GaAs band offset ratio will be discussed. Axial strain may be applied… Show more

“…The WKB transmission probability depends not only on the incident energy but also on the potential band profile which in our case is self-consistently provided by the Monte Carlo simulation. It must also be remarked that the potential profile is modified by the image charge effect, slightly reducing the effective barrier height at the region near the contact, according to the following expression [26]:…”

“…where N c and N d are, respectively, the effective density of states in the conduction band and the donor density. N c is defined as 2(2m * kT / h 2 ) 3/2 with m * being the majority carrier effective mass, m * = 0.077 m e for n-InP [4,36]. The experimental carrier concentrations depending on the temperature are calculated from the reverse bias C −2 -V characteristics in figure 3.…”
