Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Direct-band-gap electroluminescence (EL) spectra was clearly observed by using asymmetric lateral metal/Ge/metal structure, which enables a highly-efficient injection of minority carriers. The main target of this research was obtained by employing a PtGe/Ge contact with extremely low barrier height for holes, and a SiO2/GeO2 bilayer passivation. As the result, EL efficiency was enhanced by 10 times and the dark current density was decreased by 1 order. An on/off ratio of 10,000 and a responsivity of 0.7 A/W were also achieved, which is superior to the research target of 0.4 A/W. The electron density of Ge substrates was successfully controlled in a wide region by Sb doping. By using a highly-doped n-type Ge substrate, the EL efficiency was furtherly enhanced by 3 times.
