摘要:弱光触发下高倍增砷化镓光电导开关(GaAsPCSS)内以丝状电流为表现形式的载流子输运机制对其瞬态工作特性和寿命研究有重要意义.该文基于有限元方法构建了GaAsPCSS的物理模型,结合丝状电流的生热机制对1.5μJ弱光触发下开关的瞬态输出电流和晶格温度进行了仿真分析,考察了偏置电场对GaAsPCSS输出特性的影响.通过不同时刻开关内部的瞬态电场、电子浓度和晶格温度等方面研究了高倍增模式下GaAsPCSS的光生载流子输运过程和损伤机理.结果表明,高密度丝状电流的存在伴随于高场畴的产生和发展.开关内部电场越高,负微分效应引起的载流子聚束现象越明显,相应的电子浓度和晶格温度值也越高;在浓度达1017cm-3数量级的等离子体通道中,阳极附近电场强度和晶格温度最大值分别为220kV/cm和821.92K.
