โฆ Synopsis
Photoluminescence (PL) intensity and carrier lifetime of TiN coated InGaAs/GaAs NSQW structures are used to indicate the passivation efficiency. Passivation film properties like thickness, mass density and interface roughness are studied by X-ray reflectivity measurements. It is shown that TiN not only passivates but also protects the sample surface in the long run.
