AbstractWe have studied the formation of InAs quantum dots (QDs) grown by molecular beam epitaxy on top of GaAs and 2 ML-thick AlAs layers in the temperature range from 350 to 500°C. In-situ reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) patterns were recorded in real time during the growth and analyzed to characterize the 2D-to-3D transition on the surface, including QD formation, and ripening process. The kinetics of QD formation was studied using the InAs growth rates ranging from 0.01 to 1 ML/s and different ratios of As2/In fluxes. RHEED patterns and ex-situ atomic force microscopy images were analyzed to reveal the development of sizes and shapes of the single-layer and stacked QD ensembles. The critical InAs coverage for QD formation was shown to be consistently higher for dots grown on the AlAs overlayer than for those grown on GaAs surface. Self-assembly of multilayer QD stacks revealed the reduction of the critical thickness for dots formed in the upper layers.

ABSTRACTWe have studied the first phases of post-growth evolution of InAs quantum dots (QDs) using in-situ Auger electron spectroscopy in conjunction with Reflection High Energy Electron Diffraction (RHEED). Direct evidence for InAs intermixing with about 6ML (monolayers) of the matrix material is found from Auger signal behavior during MBE overgrowth of InAs nanostructures. Re-establishment of 2D growth mode by overgrowth with GaAs or AlAs was monitored in single-layer and multi-layer QD structures using RHEED. Decay process of InAs QDs on the surface is found to have activation energy of about 1.1 eV that corresponds to In intermixing with the matrix rather than evaporation from the surface.
