摘要: We have systematically investigated the influence of MOCVD growth parameters on structural and optical properties InxGa]_xAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) formed in Stranski-Krastanow mode. The interruption time, V/III ratio, In/Ga flux ratio temperature was examined by photoluminescence (PL), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) atomic force (AFM). For samples with high dot densities (up to 8 × 10 I° cm -2) surprisingly show a preferential alignment along (110) orientations differing from predictions strain relaxation equilibrium theory results for MBE grown InAs/GaAs dots. square base shape is oriented (100) agreement theoretical predictions.
