Description

AlyInxGa1-x-yN quantum dots have been grown by MOVPE on (0001) sapphire substrates. We investigated the dependence of the self-assembled quantum dot density and height on the growth conditions: the growth temperature, the amount of deposited material, and the growth rate interruption. A maximum dot density of 4 x 1010 cm-2 was achieved. The optical properties were studied after overgrowing of the QDs with a GaN cap layer. We observed very intense luminescence in the region between 2.4 and 2.8 eV and decay times of 1.8 ns under resonant excitation. (copyright 2006 WILEY-VCH Verlag GmbH and Co. KGaA, Weinheim) (orig.)
