Spatially selective disordering of InGaAs/GaAs quantum wells using an AlAs native oxide and thermal annealing technique
نویسندگان
چکیده
An InGaAs/GaAs quantum well ~QW! disordering technique using AlAs native oxide and thermal annealing is presented. Unlike dielectric cap disordering, the AlAs native oxide can be placed close to quantum wells allowing for a spatially selective disordering deep within multilayer structures. The QW energy shifts and spatial control of the disordering were studied with photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence. The QW energy shift of thermally disordered regions containing buried oxide layer is ;45 meV greater than that of regions not containing buried oxide layers. The disordering transition width is estimated to be ;1 mm. © 1997 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~97!03047-7#

Cathodoluminescence study of disordering of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells using an AlAs native oxide and thermal annealing technique
GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells ~QWs!, selectively disordered using an AlAs native oxide and thermal annealing technique, were studied using spectrally, spatially, and temporally resolved cathodoluminescence ~CL!. The spectral shift of the QW luminescence was determined as a function of annealing temperature in the oxide and nonoxide regions. Time-resolved CL was used to assess the impact of defects ...
متن کاملInGaAs/GaAs quantum-dot intermixing using arsenic and phosphorus ion implantation-induced disordering
The intermixing of InGaAs/GaAs quantum dot using isoelectric ion implantation followed by rapid thermal annealing is presented. The implantation was carried out at 200 1C with arsenic (As) and phosphorus (P) ions, at various doses, where the ions were accelerated at 360 keV with the ion angle tilted by 71. Compared with impurity-free induced intermixing, the intermixing degree is significantly ...

InGaAsP/InP multiple quantum wells with quantum well intermixing (QWI) have been prepared by Impurity-Free Vacancy Disordering (IFVD). The luminescent characteristics were investigated using photoluminescence (PL) and photoreflectance (PR), from which the band gap blueshift was observed. Si3N4, SiO2 and SOG (spin on glass) were used for the dielectric layer to enhance intermixing from the outdi...
