Controllable Growth Of Semiconductor Quantum Dots For Future Nanoelectronic And Optoelectronic Devices (2006–2008)

Abstract:
Epitaxially grown semiconductor quantum dots have received enormous attention in the past decade as key building blocks for future nanoelectronic and optoelectronic devices. The obstacles currently preventing them from being used in future devices are the random nature of their self-assembly process and a lack of complete knowledge of how they evolve during manufacturing. The aim of this project is to clarify the evolution of the growth of quantum dots by coupling their fabrication with detailed nanostructural and nanochemical characterisation. The new knowledge and innovative concepts developed in this project will significantly impact on the design, development and manufacturing of device-applicable quantum dots.
