The partial disordering of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well (QW) material has
been obtained by rapid thermal annealing with SiO2 dielectric capping
film. In this case, the absorption edge of QW material was shifted app
arently. A laser and a modulator were integrated on a same chip by par
tial disordering process on the selected area of QW wafer which was gr
own by molecular beam epitaxy.
