    摘要: An active semiconductor device that performs in a substantially polarization independent manner. A quantum well waveguide is intermixed by intermixing atoms across an interface between well and barrier layers. The atoms include at least 2 groups wherein intermixing of one group is at a substantially greater rate than another group. Cations are interdiffused at a greater rate than said anions across interfaces between well and barrier layers. The intermixing must be sufficient to provide strain within layers of the waveguide and sufficient to at least partially degenerate light hole and heavy hole bands of the structure. Preferably intermixing is sufficient to completely degenerate light hole and heavy hold bands to essentially produce a device that is completely polarization independent.

    摘要: A method of selectively tuning the bandedge of a semiconductor heterostructure includes repeatedly forming a disordered region that is spatially separated from a quantum well active region and subsequently annealing the heterostructure each time after the disordered region is formed, so that vacancies/defects in the disordered region diffuse into the quantum well region and enhance interdiffusion at the well-barrier heterojunctions. Repeating, the disordering followed by annealing allows for a greater range in bandgap tuning. The heterostuctures of interest are IH-V material systems, such as AlGaAs/GaAs, where the active region includes structures such as a single quantum well, a multiple quantum well, or a superlattice.
