Abstract

Evidence is presented for phase separation in In0.27Ga0.73N/GaN multiple quantum wells (MQW's). After annealing for 4 min at a temperature of 1100 °C, the absorption threshold at 2.95 eV is replaced by a broad peak at 2.65 eV. This peak is attributed to the formation of Inrich InGaN phases in the active region. X-ray diffraction measurements show a shift in the diffraction peaks toward GaN, consistent with the formation of an In-poor phase.
