Radiation Hard AlGaN Detectors and Imager

Description: Radiation hardness of AlGaN photodiodes was tested using a 65 MeV proton beam with a total proton fluence of 3x10{sup 12} protons/cm{sup 2}. AlGaN Deep UV Photodiode have extremely high radiation hardness. These new devices have mission critical applications in high energy density physics (HEDP) and space explorations. These new devices satisfy radiation hardness requirements by NIF. NSTec is developing next generation AlGaN optoelectronics and imagers.

The Structural Quality of AlxGa1-xN Epitaxial Layers Grown by Digitally-AlloyedModulated Precursor Epitaxy Determined by Transmission Electron Microscopy

Description: Al(x)Ga(1-x)N layers of varying composition (0.5<x(Al)<1.0) grown in the digitally-alloyed modulated precursor epitaxial regime employing AlN and GaN binary sub-layers by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on AlN templates were characterized by transmission electron microscopy techniques. Fine lamellae were observed in bright field images that indicate a possible variation in composition due to the modulated nature of growth. In higher Ga content samples (x(Al)<0.75), a composition… more

Simulation of Npn and Pnp AlGaN/GaN heterojunction bipolar transistors performances: Limiting factors and optimum design

Description: The performance capabilities of Npn and Pnp AlGaN/GaN heterojunction bipolar transistors have been investigated by using a drift-diffusion transport model. Numerical results have been employed to study the effect of the p-type Mg doping and its incomplete ionization on device performance. The high base resistance induced by the deep acceptor level is found to be the cause of limited current gain values for Npn devices. Several computation approaches have been considered to improve their perform… more

AlGaN Materials Engineering for Integrated Multi-Function Systems

Description: This LDRD is aimed to place Sandia at the forefront of GaN-based technologies. Two important themes of this LDRD are: (1) The demonstration of novel GaN-based devices which have not yet been much explored and yet are coherent with Sandia's and DOE's mission objectives. UV optoelectronic and piezoelectric devices are just two examples. (2) To demonstrate front-end monolithic integration of GaN with Si-based microelectronics. Key issues pertinent to the successful completion of this LDRD have bee… more
