In this study a quantum well/quantum wire (QW/QWR) structure grown on a grating of V-grooves has been characterized by a technique related to chemical lattice imaging. This technique makes it possible to extract quantitative information from high resolution images.The QW/QWR structure was grown on a GaAs substrate patterned with a grating of V-grooves. The growth rate was approximately three monolayers per second without growth interruption at the interfaces. On this substrate a barrier of nominally Al0.35 Ga0.65 As was deposited to a thickness of approximately 300 nm using metalorganic vapour phase epitaxy . On top of the Al0.35Ga0.65As barrier a 3.5 nm GaAs quantum well was deposited and to conclude the structure an additional approximate 300 nm Al0.35Ga0.65 As was deposited. The GaAs QW deposited in this manner turns out to be significantly thicker at the bottom of the grooves giving a QWR running along the grooves. During the growth of the barriers an approximately 30 nm wide Ga-rich region is formed at the bottom of the grooves giving a Ga-rich stripe extending from the bottom of each groove to the surface.

AbstractIn this paper we shall discuss techniques for accurate, non-destructive, optical characterisation of structures fabricated using quantum well intermixing (QWI). Spatially resolved photoluminescence and Raman spectroscopy were used to characterise the lateral bandgap profiles produced by impurity free vacancy disordering (IFVD) technology. Different features were used to examine the spatial resolution of the intermixing process. Features include 1:1 gratings as well as isolated stripes. From the measurements, the spatial selectivity of IFVD could be identified, and was found to be ∼4.5 μm, in contrast with the spatial resolution of the process of sputtering induced intermixing, which was found to be ∼2.5 μm. In addition, PL measurements on 1:1 gratings fabricated using IFVD show almost complete suppression of intermixing dielectric cap gratings with periods less than 10 microns. Finally, some insight into the limitations and merits of PL and Raman for the precision characterisation of QWI will be presented.
