Abstract

This paper examines the reduction of threading dislocation by a thin strained interlayer (SIL), and long-wavelength lasers fabricated on a GaAs substrate with SILs. Cross-sectional transmission electron microscope (TEM) is used to observe the dislocation blocking ability of a InGaP SIL inserted in an InP layer grown on a GaAs substrate. The characteristics of the lasers are improved due to dislocation reduction. Their threshold current is reduced to 70% on average and is also distributed more uniformly.
