| Abstract: | We employed the selective-area-epitaxy technique using metalorganic chemical vapor deposition to fabricate and study samples of semiconductor heterostructures that incorporate highly strained InGaAs quantum wells (980–990 nm emission wavelength). Selective area epitaxy of InGaAs quantum wells was performed on templates that had a patterned periodic structure consisting of a window (where epitaxial growth occurred) and a passive mask (where epitaxial growth was suppressed), each with a width of 100 µm for every element. Additionally, a selectively grown potential barrier layer was included, which was characterized by an almost parabolic curvature profile of the surface. We conducted a study on the influence of the curvature profile of the growth surface on the optical properties of InGaAs quantum wells and the spatial distribution of composition in an ultrawide window. Our results showed that, under fixed selective-area-epitaxy conditions, the composition of the InxGa1−xAs and the wavelength of the quantum-well emission changed across the width of the window. Our study demonstrates that increasing the curvature profile of the growth surface of highly strained quantum wells leads to a transition in the photoluminescence wavelength distribution profile across the window, from quasi-parabolic to inverted parabolic.
