Abstract

Devices grown by MBE include complex multilayer structures, besides layers of metals and dielectrics grown on single-crystal substrates. The technology of ion implantation even allows buried layer structures to be created. Two recently published more complicated structures are shown schematically in Fig. 5.1: (a) separate absorption grading and multiplication avalanche photodiode (SAGM APD) [5.1], (b) graded-index (GRIN) separate-confinement heterostructure (SCH) multi-quantum-well (MQW) laser [5.2].
