Summary: | In this study, it is proposed to implanted nitrogen ions into the high Ga component tensile strain GaInP/AlGaInP quantum well material, resulting in the mixing of quantum well, so as to realize blue-shift of the emission wavelength in the active region. When the annealing temperature is 730 °C, the emission wavelength decreases with the increase of the annealing time. The test results show that the blue-shift is mainly related to ion implantation combined with rapid thermal annealing, and the introduced impurities have an adverse effect on the surface roughness and crystal quality of the material.
•First study of N ion implantation tensile strain GaInP/AlGaInP quantum well material induces quantum well intermixing.•It was found that the surface roughness of the material changed after ion implantation.•Impurity defects are the main cause of quantum well intermixing, and rapid thermal annealing has little effect. |
