摘要
The use of multiple layers of self-organised InAs quantum dots as a very effective dislocation filter is demonstrated. In0.5Ga0.5As/GaAs quantum dot lasers grown directly on silicon substrates with the InAs quantum dot buffer layer exhibit substantially reduced threshold currents (J(th) similar to 900 A/cm(2)), compared to devices grown on silicon without the dot buffer layer (J(th) >= 1500 A/cm(2)).
