  • Abstract
    Using buried wet-oxidised AlxOj layers to enhance impurity free vacancy diffusion, the intermixing of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells has been achieved. A 70 Å thick GaAs quantum well shows a blueshift of 59 meV when the sample is annealed at 950°C for 120s. By cathodoluminescence measurements, it is confirmed that the bandgap transition region is localised laterally within 1 μm of the oxide/nonoxide interface
