Abstract:
We have successfully demonstrated the strain control of the self assembled Stranski - Krastanov (S-K) InAs quantum dots (QDs) using double-cap procedure. GaxIn1-xAs second cap layer was introduced to compensate the strain of InAs QDs, and obtained the Ga composition of GaxIn1-xAs second cap layer to increase the PL intensity and to minimize the fluctuation of QDs size.
