  2. Outline • Introduction • Fabrication methods • Recent achievements • Our achievements • Application in quantum devices

  3. Fabrication methods

  4. Typical QD structures • metal and metal oxide systems patterned by lithography. • (b) metallic dots out of chemical suspensions. • (c) lateral quantum dots through electrical gating of heterostructures. • (d) vertical quantum dots through wet etching of quantum well structures. • (e) pyramidal quantum dots through self-assembled growth. • (f) trench quantum wire. Damage on sides due to RIE Limited size Best Integration problem Non-isotropic etching Limited size

  5. Barrier Quantum dot Barrier Other techniques • Patterned substrate: V-grooves or • inverted pyramids. But • a. growth is complex, such as corrugation of facet surfaces • tilting of facets, non-uniform growth rate • b. understanding of complex surface, interfacet kinetics and • energetics is required • 2. Cleaved edge overgrowth • quantum dots form at the junction • of three orthogonal quantum wells • a. complicated process • b. difficult to control size and shape 001 GaAs AlGaAs AlGaAs Quantum wires
