| Description | Journal: Journal of Physics: Conference Series InP quantum dot structures embedded between ternary AlInP, ternary GaInP or quaternary AlGaInP have been grown by metal organic vapour phase epitaxy on GaAs(001) at temperatures of 640 °C or 730 °C under different growth conditions and were investigated by scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM). We found quantum dots higher than 2nm only for samples grown at 640 °C and the sample grown at 730°C with the lowest growth rate and additional growth interrupts. For the higher growth temperature and high growth rates quantum dot sizes evolve differently: the dots either stay much smaller and remain embedded into the wetting layer, essentially forming quantum wells with lateral compositional variations, or occasionally they can form agglomerates of super-size islands that protrude to the surface. This demonstrates that quantum dot formation is favoured by slow growth, while fast kinetics promotes flat layer growth. |
