Abstract

InAs self-assembled quantum dots were grown on InGaAs lattice-matched on InP by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. The facet formation on the dot was investigated by atomic force microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The {136}-faceted InAs dots were elongated along either [13¯0] or [3¯10] to form parallelogram-shaped islands analogous to hut cluster formation in SiGe∕Si quantum dots. Some parallelogram dots also exhibited {110} faceting, presumably on undergoing a shape transition toward dots with facets of higher symmetry.
