Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Characterization and device applications of II-VI compound semiconductor type-II hetero materials on InP substrates were proceeded. A method to evaluate conduction band discontinuities of ZnCdSe/BeZnTe hetero junctions using n-i-n diodes was proposed. Optical absorption characteristics of ZnCdSe/BeZnTe type-II superlattices were evaluated by photovoltage spectrum measurements, and compared with photoluminescence characteristics. Carrier injection efficiencies in laser structures were theoretically investigated to optimize the structures, which were experimentally confirmed. MgSe/ZnCdSe resonant tunneling diodes were fabricated, observing clear negative differential resistances in applied voltage versus injection current characteristics at room temperature.
