Abstract

The analysis of In surface segregation and its impact on the composition profile and light emission spectra of the InGaN single quantum well heterostructures grown by Metalorganic Vapor Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE) is carried out by coupled solution of the Poisson and Schrödinger equations. Effective methods of controlling the composition profile, indium predeposition and temperature ramping during the cap layer growth are considered in terms of surface segregation model. General trends in spectra transformation upon the forward bias variation and their correlations with the quantum well electronic structure are discussed.
