摘要:
A method for forming a modified semiconductor having a number of band gaps involves providing a semiconductor having a surface and a quantum region which emits photons in response to electrical or optical stimulation, the quantum region having an original band gap and being disposed under the surface and applying a number of layers of a number of materials to a number of selected regions of the surface, the materials being adapted to cause, upon thermal annealing, a number of different degrees of intermixing in a number of portions of the quantum region disposed immediately below each of the selected regions of the surface. The layers of materials can be applied in a dot or line pattern, or both, to increase the plurality of band gap tuning. The method includes thermally annealing the layers to the surface. The methods result in a modified semiconductor which exhibits a number of different band gaps in a number of portions of the quantum region depending upon the positioning of the layers of materials on the surface immediately above the respective portions of the quantum region.
