Abstract:
Heterostructures formed from III-V semiconductors with the 6.1 lattice spacing InAs, GaSb, AlSb and related alloys have attracted significant interest because of their potential to define a new state of the art' in applications including 100 GHz high-speed logic circuits, terahertz transistors, sensitive infrared detectors and mid-infrared semiconductor lasers. In this paper, we describe the ongoing work at the Naval Research Laboratory to develop the materials growth and fabrication technology for a variety of 6.1 -based devices that have the potential to revolutionize infrared optoelectronics and low-power high-speed electronics.
