Abstract

Self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) grown on an InP(311)B substrate were embedded using lattice-matched InAlAs/InGaAs superlattice with the digital embedding method. The thickness of quantum wells and barriers of the superlattice varied from 2 to 16 monolayers. The six layer stacking structures were successfully grown without any degradation of the QD and superlattice structure. The cross-sections of QDs embedded within the superlattice were visualized by scanning transmission microscope. The emission wavelength of the QDs was measured by photoluminescence and could be changed by changing the thickness of the superlattice.
