Abstract
This paper presented a detailed analysis and up-to-date performance
evaluation using the band parameters for the technologically important III–V
compound semiconductors heterostructures of InGaAs/GaAs and
AlGaAs/GaAs in terms of gain spectrum along with their wavelength variation
with respect to quantum well/barrier thickness, relaxation time and
concentration. Using the vast literature review of the consistent parameter sets
and energy transition is evaluated by applying model of solid theory for both
materials. Emphasizing the effect of strain over lattice structure band structure
calculations are performed using simulated mathematical model. The results
are evaluated by simulated model by considering the direct and indirect energy
gaps, crystal field splitting, bowing parameters, effective masses for electrons,
heavy, light, and split-off holes, Luttinger parameters, interband momentum
matrix elements, and lattice deformation at specific temperature and different
alloy-composition concentration.
INTRODUCTION
A compound semiconductor is composed of elements from two or more different
groups of the periodic table. GaN, GaAs, InP, InN, InGaN, AlGaN, AlGaAs etc.
referred as III-V semiconducting binary and ternary compounds. Many of these
compound semiconductors have electrical and optical properties. Extensive research
