Self-Assembled InAs Quantum Dots on Patterned InP Substrates
نویسنده
چکیده
The size distribution of self-assembled InAs quantum dots grown on (001) InP under the StranskiKrastanow growth mode is controlled using selective area/chemical beam epitaxy, which allows the formation of quantum dots at specific locations. As the dimensions of the patterned areas are decreased from 1000 nm down to 50 nm or less, scanning electron microscopy reveals a gradual increase in the spatial correlation between quantum dots, which leads to the formation of ordered arrays for dimensions below 200 nm.

Self-assembled InAs quantum dots grown on InP (3 1 1)B substrates: Role of buffer layer and amount of InAs deposited
The formation of InAs quantum dots by Stransky-Krastanow method on (311)B InP substrates has been studied. On Al0.48In0.52As alloy lattice matched on InP, large changes of the quantum dot structural characteristics were observed as a function of the amount of InAs deposited and of the As pressure during the InAs quantum dots formation. Small quantum dots (minimum diameter = 20 nm) in very high ...
متن کاملTransformation of self-assembled InAs/InP quantum dots into quantum rings without capping.
Transformation of self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) on InP(100) into quantum rings (QRs) is studied. In contrast to the typical approach to III--V semiconductor QR growth, the QDs are not capped to form rings. Atomic force micrographs reveal a drastic change from InAs QDs into rings after a growth interruption in tertiarybutylphosphine ambient. Strain energy relief in the InAs QD is discus...

Ordering phenomena related to the self-assembly of InAs quantum dots (QD) grown on GaAs(001) substrates are experimentally investigated on different length scales. On the shortest length-scale studied here, we examine the QD morphology and observe two types of QD shapes, i.e., pyramids and domes. Pyramids are elongated along the [1–10] directions and are bounded by {137} facets, while domes hav...
