Abstract
We report the use of an interrupted growth method in metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) to control the growth of InGaN layers and to grow nanoscale InGaN self-assembled quantum dots (QDs). With a 12-s growth interrupt, we successfully formed InGaN QDs with a typical lateral size of 25 nm and an average height of 4.1 nm. The QDs density is about 2 × 1010 cm -2. Strong photoluminescence (PL) emission of InGaN nanostructure was observed at a room temperature with a full-width-half-maximum (FWHM) of about 92 meV. These results suggest that such QDs are potentially useful in nitride-based optoelectronic devices.
