    摘要: A method for improving the operating stability of compound semiconductor minority carrier devices and the devices created using this method are described. The method describes intentional introduction of impurities into the layers adjacent to the active region, which impurities act as a barrier to the degradation process, particularly undesired defect formation and propagation. A preferred embodiment of the present invention uses O doping of III-V optoelectronic devices during an epitaxial growth process to improve the operating reliability of the devices.
