Abstract

STEM EDS X-ray mapping, TEM and HREM studies have been performed to investigate the chemical compositional abruptness and planarity of interfaces in MOCVD GaInAs/InP MQW structures grown using different gas switching procedures. The results obtained demonstrate that STEM EDS X-ray mapping is a powerful technique for revealing directly the abruptness of interfaces in MQW structures and that the use of different gas switching procedures can have a major effect on both the abruptness and planarity of interfaces in MOCVD GaInAs/InP MQW structures.
