摘要
Post-growth in situ partial SiNx masking of GaN-based epitaxial layers grown in a molecular beam epitaxy reactor is used to get GaN selective area sublimation (SAS) by high temperature annealing. Using this top-down approach, nanowires (NWs) with nanometer scale diameter are obtained from GaN and In Ga1-xN/GaN quantum well epitaxial structures. After GaN regrowth on In Ga1-xN/GaN NWs resulting from SAS, In Ga1-xN quantum disks (QDisks) with nanometer sizes in the three dimensions are formed. Low temperature microphotoluminescence experiments demonstrate-QDisk multilines photon emission around 3 eV with individual line widths of 1-2 meV.
