1. Direct energy gap of a ternary semiconductor (GaPx As1-x) with
x = 0.7, is given by 1.424 + 1.50 x + 0.176 x2, Evaluate the output spectral wavelength of the given semiconductor.
2. Calculate the wavelength of photons emitted from GaAs crystal as a result of
electron-hole recombination. Is this wavelength is visible? Will a silicon photodetector be sensitive to the radiation from a GaAs laser and why? [Consider Eg = 1.42eV for GaAs and 1.1 eV for Si].
3. A Quarternary alloy In1-xGaxAsyP1-y grown on InP substrate is suitable for
commercial LEDs and Lasers. The device requires InGaAsP layer is lattice matched with InP crystal substrate to avoid crystal defects in the layer which requires y=2.2x. Emprical relation for bandgap energy in eV is given by Eg=1.35-0.72y+0.12y2 ; 0 ≤ x ≤ 0.47.Calculate the composition of InGaAsP for a peak emission wavelength at 1.3µm.
