Light Emission from Quantum-Box Structure by Current Injection

Abstract

Light emitting from quantum-box structure by current injection was observed for the first time. GaInAsP/InP quantum-box structures were fabricated from one-dimensional quantum-well (quantum-film) structures grown by OMVPE. Holographic lithography, wet etching, and LPE regrowth techniques were employed. Three-dimensional quantum size effect was suggested by the wavelength shift of the light emission.
