P. Dua et al., A NOVEL TOOL FOR MAPPING COMPOSITION DISTRIBUTIONS IN SEMICONDUCTOR MICROSTRUCTURES-APPLICATION TO INXGA1-XP QUANTUM WIRES, Applied physics letters, 72(9), 1998, pp. 1072-1074
A technique is described which employs resonant Raman scattering for n
ondestructive, quantitative analysis of alloy composition distribution
s and their volume fractions in semiconductor microstructures. Use of
this technique is demonstrated via application to extract the wire and
barrier region compositions and the shape of the composition modulati
on profile of narrow (similar to 150 Angstrom) InxGa1-xP multiquantum
wire array grown via a strain-induced laterally ordered process. (C) 1
