Thermal annealing effect on self-assembled GaInNAs/GaAs quantum dots grown by chemical beam epitaxy

Description

The self-assembled GaInNAs quantum dot (QD) has proposed as a novel material system for long wavelength lasers on GaAs substrate. In this paper, we have investigated the thermal annealing effect on GaInNAs QDs. The increase of the PL intensity and blue shift of peak wavelength was observed by thermal annealing. For 600/spl deg/C annealing, the PL intensity was increased with the increase of annealing time and maximum intensity was obtained at 2 hours. On the other hand, PL intensity was increased after 30s annealing, then decreased at longer time for 700/spl deg/C annealing. A larger blue shift of peak wavelength compared to GaInNAs quantum well was observed. It is considered that the interdiffusion was enhanced in QD system due to its large strain and interface area between GaAs capping layer.
