Abstract

Ga$_2$O$_3$ and (Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$)$_2$O$_3$ alloys are promising materials for solar-blind UV photodetectors and high-power transistors. Basic key parameters in the device design, such as band gap variation with alloy composition and band offset between Ga$_2$O$_3$ and (Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$)$_2$O$_3$, are yet to be established. Using density functional theory with the HSE hybrid functional, we compute formation enthalpies, band gaps, and band edge positions of (Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$)$_2$O$_3$ alloys in the monoclinic ($\beta$) and corundum ($\alpha$) phases. We find the formation enthlapies of (Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$)$_2$O$_3$ alloys are significantly lower than of (In$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$)$_2$O$_3$, and that (Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$)$_2$O$_3$ with $x$=0.5 can be considered as an ordered compound AlGaO$_3$ in the monoclinic phase, with Al occupying the octahedral sites and Ga occupying the tetrahedral sites. The direct band gaps of the alloys range from 4.69 to 7.03 eV for $\beta$-(Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$)$_2$O$_3$ and from 5.26 to 8.56 eV for $\alpha$-(Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$)$_2$O$_3$. Most of the band offset of the (Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$)$_2$O$_3$ alloy arises from the discontinuity in the conduction band. Our results are used to explain the available experimental data, and consequences for designing modulation-doped field effect transistors (MODFETs) based on (Al$_x$Ga$_{1-x}$)$_2$O$_3$/Ga$_2$O$_3$ are discussed.

28. Microstructural Characteristics of Reaction-Bonded B4C/SiC Composite

Subjects

Abstract

A detailed microstructural investigation was performed to understand structural characteristics of a reaction-bonded B$_4$C/SiC ceramic composite. The state-of-the-art focused ion beam & scanning electron microscopy (FIB/SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that the as-fabricated product consisted of core-rim structures with {\alpha}-SiC and $B_4$C cores surrounded by \beta-SiC and $B_4$C, respectively. In addition, plate-like \beta-SiC was detected within the $B_4$C rim. A phase formation mechanism was proposed and the analytical elucidation is anticipated to shed light on potential fabrication optimization and the property improvement of ceramic composites., Comment: 8 pages, TMS2016

Abstract

Silicides are used extensively in nano- and microdevices due to their low electrical resistivity, low contact resistance to silicon, and their process compatibility. In this work, the thermal interface conductance of TiSi$_2$, CoSi$_2$, NiSi and PtSi are studied using time-domain thermoreflectance. Exploiting the fact that most silicides formed on Si(111) substrates grow epitaxially, while most silicides on Si(100) do not, we study the effect of epitaxy, and show that for a wide variety of interfaces there is no difference in the thermal interface conductance of epitaxial and non-epitaxial silicide/silicon interfaces. The effect of substrate carrier concentration is also investigated over a wide range of p- and n-type doping, and is found to be independent of carrier concentration, regardless of whether the interface is epitaxial and regardless of silicide type. In the case of epitaxial CoSi$_2$, a comparison of temperature dependant experimental data is made with two detailed computational models using (1) full-dispersion diffuse mismatch modeling (DMM) including the effect of near-interfacial strain and (2) an atomistic Green' function (AGF) approach that integrates near-interface changes in the interatomic force constants obtained through density functional perturbation theory. At temperatures above 100K, the AGF approach greatly underpredicts the CoSi$_2$ data, while the DMM prediction matches the data well. The full-dispersion DMM is also found to closely predict the experimentally observed temperature-dependent interface conductance for epitaxial NiSi/Si and non-epitaxial TiSi$_2$/Si interfaces. In the case of epitaxial PtSi/Si interfaces, full dispersion DMM significantly overpredicts the experimental data., Comment: 6 Figures, Accepted at Phys. Rev. B (Jan. 26, 2017)

Abstract

We have demonstrated what we believe to be the first waveguide photonic crystal cavity operating in the mid-infrared. The devices were fabricated from Ge23Sb7S70 chalcogenide glass on CaF2 substrates by combing photolithographic patterning and focus ion beam milling. The waveguide-coupled cavities were characterized using a fiber end fire coupling method at 5.2 {\mu}m wavelength, and a loaded quality factor of ~ 2,000 was measured near the critical coupling regime., Comment: 4 pages, 5 figures
