Description

MBE-grown multilayer structures with InAs quantum dots embedded in a crystalline silicon matrix were studied by high resolution transmission electron microscopy. The properties of the grown structures depend critically on the substrate temperature, growth cycle sequence, and layer thicknesses. It is shown that the silicon matrix can 'accommodate' only a limited volume of InAs in the form of coherent clusters about 3 nm in size. With an increasing amount of deposited InAs, large dislocated InAs clusters are formed during Si overgrowth, accumulating excess InAs
