    Abstract

    We have used photoluminescence, deep level transient spectroscopy and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy to investigate the mechanisms of impurity-free disordering in GaAs-based structures using doped spin-on silica layers. We demonstrate that VGa is efficiently converted into arsenic-antisite, AsGa, related defects (EL2-type defects) when the GaAs layer is under compressive stress. We propose that the efficient formation of EL2-type defects reduces the efficiency of impurity-free interdiffusion of GaAs/AlGaAs quantum wells.
