Popis: We have studied the influence of difference growth conditions on the two-dimensional to three-dimensional growth mode transition for a specific class of InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) optimized for applications to optical devices operating around 1.3 mum (In content x approximate to0.5). The dots are grown by low-pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition on GaAs substrates. We demonstrate that the critical layer thickness corresponding to optimized single-QD layer structures (i.e., with reduced wetting layer thickness and high uniformity) can be controlled by kinetic effects. The optimized growth conditions allow us to grow six-layers stacked QD structures as active material for the fabrication of a light emitting devices operating around 1.3 mum at room temperature.
