Abstract

The influences of the low V/III ratio on the surface morphologies and temperature-dependent photoluminescence spectrum of InAs-GaAs quantum dots (QDs) prepared by organometallic vapor phase epitaxy are investigated. Due to the accumulation of In adatoms at the multiatomic step edge on (001) 2° off toward an (111) n-type GaAs substrate, InAs island growth with ∼1 ML coverage takes place prior to the InAs QD formation. With increasing InAs coverage, self-assembled InAs QDs are observed near the InAs islands, which is attributed to the recapture of desorbed In atoms nucleating with supplied As atoms on the edge along [110]-orientation of the GaAs substrate.
