Self-assembled InAs elongated nanostructures were fabricated by continuous processing steps, starting from self-assembling of quantum dots, thin capping over the quantum dots to induce an anisotropic strain field, and to anneal the quantum dots in the molecular-beam-epitaxy machine. In-situ RHEED observations at each processing step were studied and confirmed by ex-situ AFM images of the surface morphology. The elongated nanostructures were demonstrated tobe templates for chains of uniform quantum dots.

The cobalt disilicide/silicon system has potential applications as a metal-base and as a permeable-base transistor. Although thin, low defect density, films of CoSi2 on Si(111) have been successfully grown, there are reasons to believe that Si(100)/CoSi2 may be better suited to the transmission of electrons at the silicon/silicide interface than Si(111)/CoSi2. A TEM study of the formation of CoSi2 on Si(100) is therefore being conducted. We have previously reported TEM observations on Si(111)/CoSi2 grown both in situ, in an ultra high vacuum (UHV) TEM and ex situ, in a conventional Molecular Beam Epitaxy system.The procedures used for the MBE growth have been described elsewhere. In situ experiments were performed in a JEOL 200CX electron microscope, extensively modified to give a vacuum of better than 10-9 T in the specimen region and the capacity to do in situ sample heating and deposition. Cobalt was deposited onto clean Si(100) samples by thermal evaporation from cobalt-coated Ta filaments.

AbstractEnsembles of homogeneous self-assembled quantum dots (QDs) and nanoholes are fabricated using molecular beam epitaxy in combination with atomically precise in situ etching. Self-assembled InAs QDs with height fluctuations of ±5% were grown using a very low indium growth rate on GaAs (001) substrate. If these dots are capped with GaAs at low temperature, strong room temperature emission at 1.3 νm with a linewidth of 21 meV from the islands is observed. Subsequently, we fabricate homogeneous arrays of nanoholes by in situ etching the GaAs surface of the capped InAs QDs with AsBr3. The depths of the nanoholes can be tuned over a range of 1-6 nm depending on the nominal etching depth and the initial capping layer thickness. We appoint the formation of nanoholes to a pronounced selectivity of the AsBr3 to local strain fields. The holes can be filled with InAs again such that an atomically flat surface is recovered. QDs in the second layer preferentially form at those sites, where the holes were initially created. Growth conditions for the second InAs layer can be chosen in such a way that lateral QD molecules form on a flat surface.

ABSTRACTA simple kinetic model has been developed to explain the agreement between in situ and ex situ determination of phosphorus composition in GaAs1−xPx (x < 0.4) epilayers grown on GaAs (001) by gas-source molecular-beam epitaxy (GSMBE). The in situ determination is by monitoring the intensity oscillations of reflection high-energy-electron diffraction during group-V-limited growth, and the ex situ determination is by x-ray rocking curve measurement of GaAs1−xPx/GaAs strained-layer superlattices grown under group-III-limited growth condition.
