Abstract

In this paper, semiconductor quantum dot structures for mid-infrared emission were self-assembled on InP substrate by using metal–organic vapor phase epitaxy growth. The InAs quantum dots grown at different conditions have been investigated. To improve the grown quantum dot's shape, the dot density and the dot size uniformity, a two-step growth method has been used and investigated. By changing the composition of the In x Ga 1-x As matrix layer of the InAs / In x Ga 1-x As / InP quantum dot structure, emission wavelength of the InAs quantum dot structure has been extended to the longest > 2.35 μm measured at 77 K. For the narrower bandgap semiconductor InAsSb quantum dots, the emission wavelength was measured at > 2.8 μm.
