The optical properties of GaAs-based cylindrical mesa-structures were studied before and after passivation using hydrogen plasma treatment followed by atomic layer deposition of an Al2O3 layer. The In0.2Ga0.8As/GaAs quantum well and the GaAs/AlAs superlattice were used as the light-emitting region of the mesa structures. The diameter of the mesas varied from 3 to 20 μm. The result of passivation was an 8-fold increase in the photoluminescence intensity of 9 μm-diameter mesa at room temperature, and time-resolved photoluminescence studies of such mesa structures demonstrated an increase in charge carrier lifetime from 0.13 to 0.9 ns. Keywords: InGaAs, quantum well, surface passivation, atomic layer deposition.
