Arrays of quantum dots and hybrid arrays of semiconducting quantum dots and metallic nanoparticles have wide range of potential applications from nanophotonics to quantum information processing. Creating such arrays with well-defined morphology and order over a large area is a challenge. We present a reliable method for constructing such arrays using simple self assembly technique. The reliability of the method is verified using AFM. The emission properties of such system are studied using high resolution imaging techniques and we have given the possible explanation for the observed phenomena.
