Self-assembled III-V quantum dots: potential for silicon optoelectronics

摘要

The basic optoelectronic properties of self-forming InGaAs/InAlAs QDs are examined in parallel with their device implementation. Recent results showing remarkably good tolerance to radiation induced point defects and good luminescence emission from InAs/InGaAs QDs grown on dislocationarrays are discussed in terms of an enabling technology which will allow optelectronics integration with silicon technology.
