摘 要:Quantum well intermixing techniques modify the geometric shape of quantum wells to allow postgrowth *** tuning effect on the optical response property of a GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well infrared photodetector(QWIP) induced by the interdifussion of Al atoms was studied *** assuming an improvement of the heterointerface quality and an enhanced Al interdiffusion caused by postgrowth intermixings,the photoluminescence spectrum shows a blue-shifted,narrower and enhanced photoluminescence *** infrared optical absorption spectrum also shows the expected redshift of the response ***,the variation in the absorption peak intensity depends on the boundary conditions of the photo generated *** high-quality QWIP samples,the mean free path of photocarriers is long so that the photocarriers are largely coherent when they transport across quantum *** this case,the enhanced Al interdiffusion can significantly degrade the infrared absorption property of the *** effects are therefore needed to maintain and/or improve the optical properties of the QWIP device during postgrowth treatments.
