In this letter we report on the growth of high quality InSb by molecular beam epitaxy that has been optimized using reflection high energy electron diffraction. A 4.8 μm InSb layer grown on GaAs at a growth temperature of 395 °C and a III/V incorporation ratio of 1:1.2 had an x‐ray rocking curve of 158 arcsec and a Hall mobility of 92 300 cm2 V−1 at 77 K. This is the best material quality obtained for InSb nucleated directly onto GaAs reported to date.

Molecular beam epitaxy growth of inp/ingaas structures for short wavelength infrared photodetectors
Temel, Oğuzhan; Beşikci, Cengiz; Parlak, Mehmet; Department of Micro and Nanotechnology (2014)
Indium Gallium Arsenide (In0.53Ga0.47As) is a suitable compound semiconductor for photodetector applications in the Short Wavelength Infrared (SWIR) band with its ~1.7 µm cut-off wavelength. In this work, lattice-matched InxGa1-xAs compounds (x~0.53) were grown on InP (001) substrates by the molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) method. Unintentional doping level as low as 1.96E15 cm-3 was obtained in the In0.53Ga0.47As epilayers. The X-ray diffraction full width at half maximum values were as low as 45 arc-sec disp...
Molecular beam epitaxial growth and characterization of extended short wavelength infrared mercury cadmium telluride detectors
Şaşmaz, Emrah; Beşikci, Cengiz; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2017)
This thesis reports the growth, fabrication and characterization of extended short wavelength infrared (SWIR) mercury cadmium telluride (Hg1-xCdxTe) photodiodes with a cut off wavelength of 2.17 µm at room temperature. HgCdTe layers were grown on home-polished cadmium zinc telluride, CdZnTe, substrates by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). Test arrays were fabricated in order to evaluate the electrical and optical characteristics of the photodiodes. Test array consists of mesa type pixels with 30 µm pitch. The t...
Chemical Interactions of Nano Islandic Graphene Grown on Titanium Dioxide Substrates by Chemical Vapor Deposition
Karamat, S.; Khalique, U.; Usman, Arslan; Javaid, Asad; Oral, Ahmet (2022-03-01)
In this work, direct growth of graphene is carried out on TiO2 (110) substrates by chemical vapor deposition. For few device applications, it is convenient to grow graphene directly on the dielectric substrates rather than metal foil to minimize transfer and surface interface defects. Raman spectrum support graphene growth on TiO2 substrate by exhibiting D and G peaks. Graphene covered the whole TiO2 substrate with few areas where higher growth of carbon atoms occurs. The contrast of SEM images clearly show...
Single layer microbolometer detector pixel using ZnO material
TANRIKULU, MAHMUD YUSUF; Yildizak, Cigdem; Okyay, Ali K.; Akar, Orhan; Sarac, Adem; Akın, Tayfun (2018-04-19)
This paper presents the development of a single layer microbolometer pixel fabricated using only ZnO material coated with atomic layer deposition. Due to the stress-free nature and high temperature coefficient of resistance of the ALD coated ZnO material, it can be used both as structural and active layers in microbolometer detectors. The design, simulations, and the fabrication optimization of 35. m single layer ZnO microbolometers are shown in this study. The designed pixel has a thermal conductance of 3....
Enhanced Performance of Nanowire-Based All-TiO2 Solar Cells using Subnanometer-Thick Atomic Layer Deposited ZnO Embedded Layer
Ghobadi, Amir; Yavuz, Halil I.; Ulusoy, T. Gamze; Icli, K. Cagatay; Ozenbas, Macit; OKYAY, Ali Kemal (2015-03-01)
In this paper, the effect of angstrom-thick atomic layer deposited (ALD) ZnO embedded layer on photovoltaic (PV) performance of Nanowire-Based All-TiO2 solar cells has been systematically investigated. Our results indicate that by varying the thickness of ZnO layer the efficiency of the solar cell can be significantly changed. It is shown that the efficiency has its maximum for optimal thickness of 1 ALD cycle in which this ultrathin ZnO layer improves device performance through passivation of surface traps...
