AbstractWe report the results of a photoreflectance (PR) study of InGaAs/GaAs strained-layer quantum wells and superlattices (SLSs) grown by MBE on [111]B GaAs substrates. Under our measurement conditions, the PR spectra display features we can relate to the bandgaps of both materials and to optical transitions in the quantum structures. Using the photovoltaic effect to vary the surface electric field of our i-n+ and p+-i-n+ samples in a strictly contactless manner, we find optical transitions red-shifting with increasing intensity of illumination from a CW HeNe laser in [111]-grown structures, a well known effect which can be attributed to the straingenerated electric field (SGEF) present in these structures. We also find experimental support for the predicted effectiveness of free-carriers in screening the SGEF and thereby originating highly non-linear absorption.

ABSTRACTFor future CMOS GSI technology, Si/SiO2 interface micro-roughness becomes a non-negligible problem. Interface roughness causes fluctuations of the surface normal electric field, which, in turn, change the gate oxide Fowler-Nordheim tunneling behavior. In this research, we used a simple two-spheres model and a three-dimensional Laplace solver to simulate the electric field and the tunneling current in the oxide region. Our results show that both quantities are strong functions of roughness spatial wavelength, associated amplitude, and oxide thickness. We found that RMS roughness itself cannot fully characterize surface roughness and that roughness has a larger effect for thicker oxide in terms of surface electric field and tunneling behavior.
