A method of fabricating individually contacted quantum dots of dimensi
ons down to 0.14 mum is presented. The dots are defined by electron-be
am lithography and electron cyclotron resonance etching. The GaAs/AlGa
As heterostructures include additional layers beneath the defined dots
to serve as a spectrometer to analyze the level structure in the dots
. The conductance of the dots scales well with area over six orders of
magnitude.
