Abstract

We have studied interdiffusion processes occurring in a metal organic chemical vapour deposition (MOCVD) grown InP/In0.33Ga0.67As/InP/In0.33Ga0.67As/InP double quantum well structure through secondary ion mass spectrometry and high-resolution x-ray diffraction measurements along with a simulation programme. Results show an interdiffusion of phosphorus into the quantum wells and the presence of a 10 nm thick intermixed zone of In, As and P formed in-between the cap layer and the subsequent quantum well. Combination of these two techniques along with the simulation is a novel approach towards the understanding and quantification of in-depth compositional variation in thin films, in general.
