Abstract

ABSTRACTWe have grown InN quantum dots (QDs) on nitrogen-polarity (N-polarity) GaN under-layer by the radio-frequency plasma-assisted molecular beam epitaxy (RF-MBE), and systematically investigated growth mechanism of the InN dots. The InN QDs with the N-polarity could be grown at about 500°C, which was much higher than that of previous reports on InN dots grown by MBE. When the nominal coverage of InN became more than 1 mono-layer (ML), lattice relaxation of InN occurred and high density InN dots were uniformly formed. These results indicated that InN dots were formed by Stranski-Krastanov (S-K) growth mode. For the InN deposition above about 8ML, InN dots tended to coalesce and resulted in remarakable decrease of the dots density.
