摘要: The feasibility of normal GaAs, low-temperature-grown GaAs (LT-GaAs) and InGaAs (LT-InGaAs) as the capping layers for impurity-free vacancy disordering (IFVD) In0.2Ga0.8As/GaAs multiquantum-well (MQW) structure has been studied. LT-GaAs LT-InGaAs were tested outermost layer intermediate cap underneath SiO2 or Si3N4 layer. degree quantum-well intermixing (QWI) induced by rapid thermal annealing was estimated shift photoluminescence (PL) peak energy. It found that IFVD MQW using much smaller (larger) than a (Si3N4) also observed insertion below reduces QWI PL intensity after QWI. A plausible explanation influence InGaAs/GaAs is discussed.
