Post growth annealing of Ga1-xInxNyAs1-y/GaAs double quantum well structures grown on (100), (311)A, and (311)B GaAs substrates
The effect of thermal annealing on the optical properties of In0.36Ga0.64As1-yNy/GaAs double quantum wells (QWs) grown on different GaAs planes was investigated for two sets of samples having y = 0 % and 1 % nitrogen. It was found that annealing at 700 °C for 30 seconds is the optimum annealing temperature which improves the photoluminesces (PL) efficiency for all QWs. The PL enhancement is larger in samples with 1 % nitrogen than 0 %. This PL improvement, which may be explained by the annihilation of defects introduced by the incorporation of nitrogen, is accompanied by a blue shift. Secondary ion mass spectroscopy (SIMS) shows that In/Ga intermixing, which occurs at the interface between QW and barrier, could account for the origin of this energy shift in QWs grown on (311)A and (100) planes. The amount of diffusion of In out of the QW depends on the growth plane. It is larger for QWs grown on (311)B plane as compared to the other planes. However, in contrast to the (311)B QWs the nitrogen content in the (100) and (311)A QWs doesn't change upon annealing.
