Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book presents a comprehensive overview of state-of-the-art quantum dot photodetectors, including device fabrication technologies, optical engineering/manipulation strategies, and emerging photodetectors with building blocks of novel quantum dots (e.g. perovskite) as well as their hybrid structured (e.g. 0D/2D) materials. Semiconductor quantum dots have attracted much attention due to their unique quantum confinement effect, which allows for the facile tuning of optical properties that are promising for next-generation optoelectronic applications. Among these remarkable properties are large absorption coefficient, high photosensitivity, and tunable optical spectrum from ultraviolet/visible to infrared region, all of which are very attractive and favorable for photodetection applications. The book covers both fundamental and frontier research in order to stimulate readers' interests in developing novel ideas for semiconductor photodetectors at the center of future developments in materials science, nanofabrication technology and device commercialization. The book provides a knowledge sharing platform and can be used as a reference for researchers working in the fields of photonics, materials science, and nanodevices.

Book excerpt: This book introduces some alternative methods for enhancing the performance of In(Ga)As/GaAs-based quantum dot infrared photodetectors (QDIPs). In(Ga)As/GaAs-based QDIPs and focal plane array (FPA) cameras have wide application in fields such as military and space science. The core of the study uses a combination of quaternary In0.21Al0.21Ga0.58As and GaAs spacer as a capping layer on In(Ga)As/GaAs quantum dots in the active region of the detector structure. For the purposes of optimization, three types of samples growths are considered with different capping thicknesses. The results presented include TEM, XRD and photoluminescence studies that compare combination barrier thickness and its effect on structural and optical properties. Compressive strain within the heterostructure, thermal stability in high temperature annealing, spectral response, shifts in PL peaks peak,and responsivity and detectivity are all considered. The results also present a narrow spectral width that was obtained by using InAs QDs which is very useful for third generation FPA camera application. The book details effect of post-growth rapid thermal annealing on device characteristics and methods to enhance responsivity and peak detectivity. The contents of this book will be useful to researchers and professionals alike.

Book excerpt: This book addresses perovskite quantum dots, discussing their unique properties, synthesis, and applications in nanoscale optoelectronic and photonic devices, as well as the challenges and possible solutions in the context of device design and the prospects for commercial applications. It particularly focuses on the luminescent properties, which differ from those of the corresponding quantum dots materials, such as multicolor emission, fluorescence narrowing, and tunable and switchable emissions from doped nanostructures. The book first describes the characterization and fabrication of perovskite quantum dots. It also provides detailed methods for analyzing the electrical and optical properties, and demonstrates promising applications of perovskite quantum dots. Furthermore, it presents a series of optoelectronic and photonic devices based on functional perovskite quantum dots, and explains the incorporation of perovskite quantum dots in semiconductor devices and their effect of the performance. It also explores the challenges related to optoelectronic devices, as well as possible strategies to promote their commercialization. As such, this book is a valuable resource for graduate students and researchers in the field of solid-state materials and electronics wanting to gain a better understanding of the characteristics of quantum dots, and the fundamental optoelectronic properties and operation mechanisms of the latest perovskite quantum dot-based devices.

This book was released on 2011 with total page 112 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It is known that major restrictions of room-temperature semiconductor photodetectors and some other optoelectronic devices are caused by short photoelectron lifetime, which strongly reduces the photoresponse. Detectors based on nanostructures with potential barriers have the strong potential to overcome the limitations in quantum well photodetectors due to various possibilities for engineering of specific kinetic and transport properties. Here I review photocarrier kinetics in traditional quantum dot infrared photodetectors and present results of the investigations related to the quantum-dot (QD) structures with potential barriers created around dots and with collective barriers surrounding groups of quantum dots (planes, clusters etc). To optimize the photodetectors based on QD structures, I develop and exploit a model of the room-temperature QD photodetector. Using Monte-Carlo simulations, I investigate photoelectron capture and transit processes, as functions of selective doping of a QD structure, its geometry, and applied electric field. The simulation results demonstrate that the capture processes are substantially suppressed by the collective potential barriers around the groups of QDs. Detailed analysis shows that the effects of the electric field can be explained by electron heating, i.e. field effects become significant, when the shift of the electron temperature due to electron heating reaches the barrier height. Besides manageable photoelectron kinetics, which allows one to employ QDIP as an adaptive detector with changing parameters, the advanced QD structures will also provide high coupling to radiation, low generation-recombination noise, and high scalability.

Book excerpt: This book explores the effects of growth pause or ripening time on the properties of quantum dots(QDs). It covers the effects of post-growth rapid thermal annealing (RTA) treatment on properties of single layer QDs. The effects of post-growth rapid thermal annealing (RTA) treatment on properties of single layer QDs are discussed. The book offers insight into InAs/GaAs bilayer QD heterostructures with very thin spacer layers and discusses minimum spacer thickness required to grow electronically coupled bilayer QD heterostructures. These techniques make bilayer QD heterostructures a better choice over the single layer and uncoupled multilayer QD heterostructure. Finally, the book discusses sub-monolayer (SML) growth technique to grow QDs. This recent technique has been proven to improve the device performance significantly. The contents of this monograph will prove useful to researchers and professionals alike.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Our research on quantum-dot infrared photodetectors has been concentrated on increasing of photoconductive gain and responsivity. Innovative idea in design of sensitive quantum-dot infrared photodetector is to use a structure with quantum dots surrounded by repulsive potential barriers, which are created due to interdot doping. Spatial separation of the localized ground state and continuum conducting states of the electron increases significantly the photoelectron capture time and photoconductive gain. Large value of the gain results in high responsivity, which in turn improves detectivity and raises the device operating temperature.
