摘要
Site-controlled growth of single and pairs of InAs quantum dots is demonstrated on ex situ electron-beam patterned (001) GaAs substrates using in situ Ga-assisted deoxidation prior to overgrowth. 6-8 ML of gallium deposited at a substrate temperature of 460 C in the absence of arsenic followed by a brief anneal under arsenic is used to remove the surface oxide without damaging a pattern consisting of similar to 100 nm wide, similar to 20 nm deep holes. Single dot luminescence is shown from a dilute array (10 mu m spacing) of such site-controlled dots, located only 8 nm from the regrowth interface. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
