Abstract

This paper reviews the principal processes involved in the enhanced interdiffusion of elements across interfaces between two III-V compound semiconductors. Implantation enhanced interdiffusion effects in GaAs-Gal−xAlxAs are compared for single Quantum Well structures and Superlattice structures. Measurements indicate a marked difference in the annealing and enhanced interdiffusion kinetics between these 2 types of structures.
