B. Koley et al., A method of highly efficient hydrolyzation oxidation of III-V semiconductor lattice matched to indium phosphide, APPL PHYS L, 75(9), 1999, pp. 1264-1266
We have demonstrated a method of efficient wet oxidation process for device
s grown on indium phosphide. It was found that oxidation of a strain compen
sated InAs/AlAs short-period superlattice grown on InP proceeds at a rate o
f 0.28 mu m/min. An edge-emitting laser using current confinement provided
by the oxide has been fabricated. This method might be also well suited for
long wavelength vertical cavity surface emitting laser application. (C) 19
