Abstract

GaAs quantum dots were formed in a near surface quantum well (QW) by producing lateral confinement with self-organized InP stressors grown in situ by metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD). We report here the influence of growth conditions on InP island formation on AlGaAs/GaAs single QW structures and also the influence of the QW structure on the optical properties of the GaAs quantum dots. We observe strong photoluminescence up to room temperature from the strain-induced quantum dots with energy redshifts of 70 meV below the QW peak.
