Molecular beam epitaxy growth of GaAs quantum dots through modified droplet epitaxy
Abstract
The growth of uncapped GaAs quantum structures with optical lumines- cence is demonstrated in this paper. Uncapped GaAs quantum dots were grown via modified droplet epitaxy on a semi-insulating GaAs substrate at a temperature of 200 ◦C using a Riber 32-P MBE facility. The QDs grown has a density of 3 × 1010cm−2 with base diameter of 27.1 ± 3.2 nm and height of 10.2 ± 2.4 nm. 10 K photoluminescence experiments show QD PL energy centered 1.660 eV.
