Abstract

We demonstrate the feasibility of a new approach of Nano Selective Area Growth (Nano-SAG) to precisely localize InAs/InP QDs, by low-pressure Metalorganic Vapour Phase Epitaxy (MOVPE). This approach is based on a partial patterning with a dielectric mask containing nano-openings. The two main advantages of MOVPE are: the important diffusion length of the active species and the inhibition of growth on the dielectric mask. We demonstrate the synthesis of localized nanostructures with high structural properties and the precise control of their dimensions at the nanometer scale. This allows in principle the precise control of the tunability of the emission length.
