Abstract
Ammonium sulfide [(NH4)2S x ] treatment has been applied to a metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) regrowth process for GaAlAs/GaAs buried heterostructure (BH) lasers to reduce the nonradiative interface recombination. A mirrorlike Ga0.9Al0.1As layer was successfully grown on Ga0.7Al0.3As by introducing sulfur treatment before regrowth. The interface recombination velocity along the side wall of the active region was significantly reduced. This fabrication technology is expected to be effective in the realization of ultralow-threshold microcavity lasers.Keywords
