I. Hwang et al., PHOTOREFLECTANCE STUDY OF ETCHING AND ANNEALING EFFECT ON ALGAAS GAASHETEROSTRUCTURE/, Solid state communications, 103(1), 1997, pp. 1-3
We investigated the PR spectra of as-grown, annealed and etched modula
tion-doped AlGaAs/GaAs heterostructure samples. As annealing time incr
eases, the built-in electric fields are strengthened as a result of th
e diffusion of Si-Si pairs. As the etching time increases the broad si
gnal near GaAs band-gap energy and the single peak shape (SPS) signal
near AlGaAs band-gap energy change to the step-like signal and the dou
ble peak shape (DPS) signal, respectively. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science L
