Abstract

III–V compound semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) photonic devices are very attractive because of their many advantages. We developed a defect-free top-down fabrication process for sub-20-nm-diameter GaAs quantum nanodisks (NDs)by using a bio-template and neutral beam etching (NBE). We successfully fabricated 100-nm-high nanopillars embedded in 8-nm-thick GaAs and 30-nm-thick Al0.3Ga0.7As barrier-stacked structures. The GaAs capping layer and Al0.3Ga0.7As barrier layer were regrown by metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). We measured the photoluminescence (PL) originating from the GaAs NDs at 6 K. To realize NDs laser diodes by top-down fabrication is a great challenge.
