M. Kitamura et al., FORMATION OF INGAAS QUANTUM DOTS ON GAAS MULTI-ATOMIC STEPS BY METALORGANIC CHEMICAL-VAPOR-DEPOSITION GROWTH, JPN J A P 1, 34(8B), 1995, pp. 4376-4379
Aligned InGaAs quantum dots as small as 20 nm were naturally formed at
multi-atomic step edges by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition gro
wth. In addition, it was found that anisotropic structure of InGaAs al
ong the step edges toward the [110]A direction appears with the increa
se of growth time of InGaAs. This phenomenon may be useful in the form
ation of quantum wires.
