DIFFUSION BLOCKING LAYER FOR A COMPOUND SEMICONDUCTOR STRUCTURE

A method of fabricating a gain medium includes growing a p-type layer doped with zinc on a substrate, growing an undoped layer including one or both of InP or InGaAsP on the p-type layer, growing a region that includes multiple quantum wells (MQWs) on the undoped layer, and growing an n-type layer o...

Zusammenfassung:A method of fabricating a gain medium includes growing a p-type layer doped with zinc on a substrate, growing an undoped layer including one or both of InP or InGaAsP on the p-type layer, growing a region that includes multiple quantum wells (MQWs) on the undoped layer, and growing an n-type layer on the region. The undoped layer has a thickness that is sufficient to prevent Zn diffusion from the p-type layer into the region during subsequent growth or wafer fabrication steps.
