摘要
The influence of gallium arsenide surface modification induced by irradiation with a KrF excimer laser on the magnitude of the quantum well (QW) intermixing effect has been investigated in InAlGaAs/AlGaAs/GaAs QW heterostructures. The irradiation in an air environment with laser pulses of fluences between 60 and 100 mJ/cm2 has resulted in the formation of a gallium oxide-rich film at the surface. Following the annealing at 900 °C, up to 35 nm suppression of the band gap blue shift was observed in all the laser irradiated samples when compared to the non-irradiated samples. The origin of suppression has been discussed in terms of stress controlled diffusion.
