By the selective local removal of the InP top barrier layer wire patterns in which the top material varies between InP and InGaAs are formed from an InGaAs/InP quantum well. In a subsequent annealing step the top InGaAs layer shows substantially stronger interdiffusion than the InP covered regions (wires). By using luminescence spectroscopy we show that this defectfree enhanced interdiffusion can be used to obtain a lateral energy barrier.}, subject = {Indiumarsenid}, language = {en} }
