  • Abstract
    Dark defects related to degradation in GaAlAs visible lasers were investigated by using an electron beam induced current mode of a SEM. Two new modes of defects, dark regions and <100> dark lines, were observed bordering the edge of the stripe regions. These defects are related to a device structure and the crystallization of epitaxial wafers.
