Impurity induced disordering of an InGaAs/InGaAlAs quantum well structure has been investigated using boron and fluorine. The impurities were introduced by ion implantation and followed by thermal annealing. Small blue shifts in the exciton peak were observed in the boron implanted material. Much larger blue shifts, over 40 meV, were observed in the fluorine implanted material. At annealing temperatures greater than 650°C, red shifts in the exciton peak of unimplanted material were measured.
