10.4.2019 Alice Hospodková (FzÚ AVČR Praha): Problems of thick heterostructures (morphology and luminescence consequences) Abstrakt: The technology of preparation of thick multiple quantum well (MQW) structures on sapphire substrates and problems which limit the thickness of the active region will be introduced. Increased V-pit size and strain will be discussed together with unexpected consequences to PL properties of such structures. Our conclusions will be supported by comparison of PL measurements with cathodoluminescence and SEM results. The influence of the structure thickness on homogeneity of PL across the wafer will be demonstrated in place and explained.
