摘要
We investigated the influence of the deposition parameters of SiOx and SiNx capping layers in the plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition on the band gap energy shift of the In0.2Ga0.8As/GaAs multiple quantum well (QW) structures induced by impurity-free vacancy disordering. The investigated deposition parameters were deposition pressure, deposition temperature, and rf power. A blueshift of photoluminescence (PL) peak energy up to 161 meV was observed after rapid thermal annealing at 950 degreesC for 50 s in the samples capped with SiOx deposited at 1.5 Torr. We observed that the blueshift of the PL peak energy increased greatly with the increase of deposition pressure and slightly with the decrease of deposition temperature. The influence of rf power was found to be negligible. All these dependences were related to the porosity in the dielectric capping layers in the QW intermixing.
