Abstract:
PURPOSE: A method for locally forming a different band gap in a quantum well by a dielectric-semiconductor composite cover layer is provided to regulate a degree of disorder of the quantum well. CONSTITUTION: The method begins with growing an InGaAs/InGaAsP quantum well substrate by a chemical beam epitaxy technique. Next, a dielectric thin layer made of such as SiO2 or SiNx is formed as a cover layer on the quantum well substrate by a plasma-enhanced chemical deposition technique. After a heat treatment step is carried out at a temperature of 600 - 800°C for 4 - 16 minutes, the dielectric thin layer is removed. In addition, InP, InGaAs or InGaAsP is used as a semiconductor cover layer.

PURPOSE: A method for controlling a band gap of a semiconductor optical device having the structure of a quantum well is provided to prevent a quantum well substrate damaging by using a silicon nitride film as a dielectric cover layer and by controlling a flow ratio of ammonia gas. CONSTITUTION: A substrate having the structure of a quantum well is grown(S100). A dielectric cover layer is deposited on the substrate by a plasma chemical vapor deposition process(S200). A thermal processing is performed on the dielectric cover layer at a predetermined time(S300). The dielectric cover layer is removed(S400). A fluorescence spectrum is measured(S500).
