Abstract:Dielectric films of SiOP was deposited by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(PECVD).It is utilized as a new encapsulant layer in impurity-free vacancy disordering(IFVD) for InGaAsP/InP multiple quantum well(MQW) intermixing instead of conventional SiO_2 layer.X-ray photon spectroscopy(XPS) study indicates that the composition of the layer is SiOP.After rapid thermal annealing(RTA),the structure of SiOP is stable.The diffusion of P in SiOP film enhances the out-diffusion of In in InP MQW structure.However,it suppresses the out-diffusion of Ga.The characteristic of SiOP film is far from that of conventional SiO_2 films.
