Ts. Yeoh et al., Epitaxy of InAs quantum dots on self-organized two-dimensional InAs islands by atmospheric pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition, APPL PHYS L, 79(2), 2001, pp. 221-223
Fully coherent InAs quantum dots and InAs quantum dots grown on self-organi
zed two-dimensional (2D) islands by atmospheric pressure metalorganic chemi
cal vapor deposition are investigated. The significantly lower critical thi
ckness window of between 1 and 2.0 monolayers for fully coherent dots is at
tributed to the suppression of a segregated indium floating layer. An InAs
quantum dot density of 4.7x10(10) cm(-2) was achieved on GaAs, and a highly
localized InAs quantum dot density of over 5x10(12) cm(-2) was achieved on
2D InAs islands. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
