Abstract

We demonstrate the growth, device fabrication, and characterization on indium gallium arsenide In_xGa_1−xAs thin films grown at 175°C (350°C) and in-situ annealed at 600°C. X-ray diffraction measurements reveal that the indium mole fraction (band gap) of the grown In_xGa_1−xAs films are 0.465 (0.788 eV) and 0.364 (0.905 eV) for the 175°C and 350°C grown thin films, respectively. The terahertz (THz) emission from the fabricated PCAs reveals that the film grown at 175°C is consistently stronger than the THz emission of the film grown at 350°C for excitation powers ranging between 9 and 90 mW. We compare the characterization results of the thin films and relate the results to material properties like carrier mobility and band gap.
