- We have developed a self-aligned L-g = 55 nm In-0.53 Ga-0.47 As MOSFET incorporating metal-organic chemical vapor deposition regrown n(++) In0.6Ga0.4As source and drain regions, which enables a record low on-resistance of 199 Omega mu m. The regrowth process includes an InP support layer, which is later removed selectively to the n(++) contact layer. This process forms a high-frequency compatible device using a low-complexity fabrication scheme. We report on high-frequency measurements showing f(max) of 292 GHz and f(t) of 244 GHz. These results are accompanied by modeling of the device, which accounts for the frequency response of gate oxide border traps and impact ionization phenomenon found in narrow band gap FETs. The device also shows a high drive current of 2.0 mA/mu m and a high extrinsic transconductance of 1.9 mS/mu m. These excellent properties are attributed to the use of a gate-last process, which does not include high temperature or dry-etch processes.

- In this paper we present a 55 nm gate length In0.53Ga0.47As MOSFET with extrinsic transconductance of 1.9 mS/mu m and on-resistance of 199 Omega mu m. T he self-aligned MOSFET is formed using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition regrowth of highly doped source and drain access regions. The fabricated 140 nm gate length devices shows a low subthreshold swing of 79 mV/decade, which is attributed to the described low temperature gate-last process scheme.

- Tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) are promising candidates that have demonstrated potential for and beyond the 3 nm technology node. One major challenge for the TFETs is to optimize the heterojunction for high drive currents while achieving steep switching. Thus far, such optimization has mainly been addressed theoretically. Here, we experimentally investigate the influence of the source segment composition on the performance for vertical nanowire InAs/InGaAsSb/GaSb TFETs. Compositional analysis using transmission electron microscopy is combined with simulations to interpret the results from electrical characterization data. The results show that subthreshold swing (S) and transconductance (gm) decrease with increasing arsenic composition until the strain due to lattice mismatch increases them both. The role of indium concentration at the junction is also examined. This systematic optimization has rendered sub-40 mV/dec operating TFETs with a record transconductance efficiency gm/ID = 100 V-1, and it shows that different source materials are preferred for various applications.

- Pathological calcification is common among for instance dialysis patients, and this causes an increase in mortality risk. An elevated serum phosphate concentration among those patients strongly correlates to this increase. In this work investigations of the conditions, composition, crystallinity and morphology of in vitro calcification are performed and related to results from in vivo studies. The study was performed under conditions mimicking physiological ones, i.e. a pH around 7.40, a temperature of 37A degrees C, an ionic strength of 150 mM and ion concentrations close to those in human serum including the effects of elevated phosphate concentrations. The course of precipitation involves an initial precipitate that subsequently re-dissolves to give another precipitate, in accordance with the well-known Ostwald ripening theory. The final bulk precipitate consists of a macroscopically amorphous carbonated apatite. The amorphous apatite is formed from assemblies of spherical particles in the mu m range, in turn composed of nano-crystalline needles of about 10 x 100 nm. Even the initially formed precipitate, as well as a small amount of precipitate that occurs on the liquid surface, consist of a carbonated calcium phosphate. The in vitro observed carbonated apatite bears strong resemblance to in vivo cardiovascular calcification known from literature.

- InAs has been grown on W-GaAs patterned substrates using metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. It is shown that the W pattern guides the nucleation of the InAs on the GaAs substrate and that the islands formed may be used to embed metal features in a hybrid InAs/GaAs structure. A lower resistance (factor of 2) was measured for the hybrid structures as compared to reference structures. The reduction in the resistance is attributed to an increased carrier concentration as observed from Hall measurements on devices with different tungsten densities. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscopy investigations reveal a void-free overgrowth above the metal despite the large mismatch of the InAs/GaAs system. (C) 2009 American Vacuum Society.

- We report on the synthesis of non-tapered wurtzite (WZ) GaP nanowires by use of in-situ etching and the structural and optical characterization thereof. HCl was evaluated as an in-situ etchant in order to impede the onset of radial growth since the WZ crystal phase in GaP nanowires preferentially grows at relatively high growth temperatures around 600 degrees C, at which strong radial growth typically occurs. Transmission electron microscopy measurements confirmed non-tapered WZ GaP nanowires after growth. Photoluminescence characterization revealed defect related red emission, possibly related to transitions within the bandgap. Raman measurements show that the phonon energies in WZ GaP are very close in energy to the phonon energies in zinc blende GaP. (C) 2013 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

- Uniform arrays of submicron hexagonal InGaN pyramids with high morphological and material homogeneity, reaching an indium composition of 20%, are presented in this work. The pyramids were grown by selective area metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy and nucleated from small openings in a SiN mask. The growth selectivity was accurately controlled with diffusion lengths of the gallium and indium species, more than 1 μm on the SiN surface. High material homogeneity of the pyramids was achieved by inserting a precisely formed GaN pyramidal seed prior to InGaN growth, leading to the growth of well-shaped InGaN pyramids delimited by six equivalent 10 1 ̄ 1 facets. Further analysis reveals a variation in the indium composition to be mediated by competing InGaN growth on two types of crystal planes, 10 1 ̄ 1 and (0001). Typically, the InGaN growth on 10 1 ̄ 1 planes is much slower than on the (0001) plane. The formation of the (0001) plane and the growth of InGaN on it were found to be dependent on the morphology of the GaN seeds. We propose growth of InGaN pyramids seeded by 10 1 ̄ 1-faceted GaN pyramids as a mean to avoid InGaN material grown on the otherwise formed (0001) plane, leading to a significant reduction of variations in the indium composition in the InGaN pyramids. The InGaN pyramids in this work can be used as a high-quality template for optoelectronic devices having indium-rich active layers, with a potential of reaching green, yellow, and red emissions for LEDs.

- In this work, we present a method to synthesize arrays of hexagonal InGaN submicrometer platelets with a top c-plane area having an extension of a few hundred nanometers by selective area metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy. The InGaN platelets were made by in situ annealing of InGaN pyramids, whereby InGaN from the pyramid apex was thermally etched away, leaving a c-plane surface, while the inclined {101Ì1} planes of the pyramids were intact. The as-formed c-planes, which are rough with islands of a few tens of nanometers, can be flattened with InGaN regrowth, showing single bilayer steps and high-quality optical properties (full width at half-maximum of photoluminescence at room temperature: 107 meV for In 0.09 Ga 0.91 N and 151 meV for In 0.18 Ga 0.82 N). Such platelets offer surfaces having relaxed lattice constants, thus enabling shifting the quantum well emission from blue (as when grown on GaN) to green and red. For single InGaN quantum wells grown on the c-plane of such InGaN platelets, a sharp interface between the quantum well and the barriers was observed. The emission energy from the quantum well, grown under the same conditions, was shifted from 2.17 eV on In 0.09 Ga 0.91 N platelets to 1.95 eV on In 0.18 Ga 0.82 N platelets as a result of a thicker quantum well and a reduced indium pulling effect on In 0.18 Ga 0.82 N platelets. On the basis of this method, prototype light-emitting diodes were demonstrated with green emission on In 0.09 Ga 0.91 N platelets and red emission on In 0.18 Ga 0.82 N platelets.
