D. Labrie et al., QUANTUM-WELL INTERMIXING IN SI1-XGEX SI STRAINED-LAYER HETEROSTRUCTURES USING ION-IMPLANTATION/, Applied physics letters, 69(7), 1996, pp. 993-995
A demonstration of quantum well intermixing using ion implantation in
S1-xGex/Si strained-layer heterostructures is presented. The quantum w
ell related photoluminescence lines of implanted and annealed samples
are blue shifted by up to 40 meV relative to those measured in anneale
d-only samples. Optical and structural qualities of the heterostructur
e remain high after implantation and annealing treatments. (C) 1996 Am
