ABSTRACT:
Atomic hydrogen flux impinging on the surface of a growing layer of III-V compounds during VCSEL processing can prevent three-dimensional growth and related misfit dislocations. Use of hydrogen during semiconductor processing can allow, for example, more indium in InGaAs quantum wells grown on GaAs. Atomic hydrogen use can also promote good quality growth at lower temperatures, which makes nitrogen incorporated in a non-segregated fashion producing better material. Quantum wells and associated barriers layers can be grown to include nitrogen (N), aluminum (Al), antimony (Sb), and/or indium (In) placed within or about a typical GaAs substrate to achieve long wavelength VCSEL performance, e.g., within the 1260 to 1650 nm range.
