Abstract
The interface of wet oxidized Al097Ga003As/GaAs in a distributed Bragg reflector DBR structure has been studied by means of transmission electron microscopy and Raman spectroscopy With the extension of oxidation time the oxide/GaAs interfaces are not abrupt any more There is an amorphous film near the oxide/GaAs interface which is Ga2O3 related to the prolonged heating In the samples oxidized for 10 and 20 min there are some fissures along the oxidized AlGaAs/GaAs interfaces In the samples oxidized or in situ annealed for long time no such fissures are present due to the complete removal of the volatile products
