Abstract
Silvaco simulation software was used to study the influence of applied bias on the energy band of field-assisted GaSb/GaAs photocathode under different thicknesses and p-type doping concentrations of GaAs emission layer. The simulation results demonstrated that only 2V applied bias voltage can perfectly eliminate the barrier at the heterojunction interface and will not cause a large dark current when the GaSb layer was p-type with the doping concentration of 1×1019 cm-3 and the GaAs emission layer was gradient doping. The GaAs emitting layer with gradient doping consists of a GaAs layer with a thickness of 0.2 μm and a doping concentration of 1×1016 cm-3, GaAs layer with a thickness of 0.2 μm and a doping concentration of 1×1017 cm-3, and GaAs layer with a thickness of 0.2 μm and a doping concentration of 1×1018 cm-3. This simulation study provides theoretical guidance for the preparation of field-assisted GaSb/GaAs photocathode.
