Abstract
We discuss a technique that allows us to grow high-density GaSb and InGaSb quantum dots (QDs) on (0 0 1)-oriented GaAs substrates. We study the use of Si atom irradiation on the substrate surface as an anti-surfactant before the QDs fabrication. It is clear that the densities of GaSb and InGaSb QDs are drastically enhanced with the Si atom irradiation. Photoluminescence intensities from these QDs are also increased with the Si atom irradiation. These results indicate that the Si atom irradiation technique is useful to improve the properties of the Sb-based QDs.
