Built-in electric field is at the interface between dielectric layer and top layer of the structure. Subsequent rapid thermal annealing leads to different intermixing results due to different field directions on InP cap layers in different doping types. Experimental results also show different influences of the built-in field on the two sublattices largely due to different charge numbers of point defects.展开更多
