Abstract

The effect of post-growth rapid thermal annealing on structural and optical properties of InP1-xBix thin films was investigated. InPBi shows good thermal stability up to 500 degrees C and a modest improvement in photoluminescence (PL) intensity with an unchanged PL spectral feature. Bismuth outdiffusion from InPBi and strain relaxation are observed at about 600 degrees C. The InPBi sample annealed at 800 degrees C shows an unexpected PL spectrum with different energy transitions.
