Claim Text:
1. A method of fabricating a photoactive device, comprising: forming GaInN on a substrate within a chamber; after forming the GaInN on the substrate, heating the GaInN in the chamber in the presence of an arsenic-containing gas or vapor and substituting As atoms for some N atoms within the GaInN to transform at least a portion of the GaInN into a homogeneous layer of GaInNAs; repeating the actions of forming GaInN on the substrate within a chamber and heating the GaInN in the chamber in the presence of an arsenic-containing gas or vapor and substituting As atoms for some N atoms within the GaInN to transform at least a portion of the GaInN into homogeneous GaInNAs, so as to increase a thickness of the layer of the homogeneous GaInNAs; and forming a pn-junction in the layer of the homogeneous GaInNAs.
