A Complete Physical Germanium-on-Silicon Quantum Dot Self-Assembly Process
Achieving quantum dot self-assembly at precise pre-defined locations is of vital interest. In this work, a novel physical method for producing germanium quantum dots on silicon using nanoindentation to pre-define nucleation sites is described. Self-assembly of ordered ~10 nm height germanium quantum dot arrays on silicon substrates is achieved. Due to the inherent simplicity and elegance of the...
متن کاملRoom-temperature self-organised In0.5Ga0.5As quantum dot laser on silicon
Introduction: Future high-speed systems will, in all probability, require the monolithic integration of electronic circuits and optoelectronic components on silicon substrates. An urgent need in such technology is the development of high performance and reliable electrically-injected light sources that can be integrated on silicon in a CMOS-compatible process. Self-organised quantum dot (QD) la...
متن کاملQuantum Dot (QD) gate Si-FETs with Self-Assembled GeOX Cladded Germanium Quantum Dots
This paper presents preliminary data on the transfer and output characteristics of a GeOXcladded Ge quantum dot (QD) gate Si MOSFET. The MOSFET is formed by depositing cladded QDs above the SiO2 gate insulator formed on pSi region, sandwiched between n-type source and drain. Ge (~ 2 to 8 nm) nanoparticles, cladded with GeOX (~1nm) layers, are deposited using site-specific self-assembly. In addi...
متن کاملQuantum dot self-assembly in liquid crystal media
In recent years the dispersion and directed assembly of nano-particles in liquid crystal media has proved an interesting field for investigation and one that may yield new hybrid materials for optical applications and fundamental research. In this paper, we investigate the dispersion of quantum dots in different liquid crystal phases, looking at aggregation and pattern formation. Quantum dot se...
متن کاملQuantum confinement in silicon–germanium electron waveguides
Abstract We have simulated the electronic properties of silicon–germanium electron waveguides defined by selective etching on a SiGe heterostructure. In particular, we have investigated the dependence of quantum confinement and of one-dimensional subband separation on the waveguide width. Indeed, a larger subband separation means a larger dephasing length and larger electron mobility in the wav...
