Abstract

Self-assembled InAs quantum dots (QDs) on GaAs substrate encapsulated with In0.15Ga0.85As1−xNx (GINA) have been grown by solid source molecular beam epitaxy, using optimal growth temperatures and rates for each of the two layers. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity increases for annealed samples. The optimum annealing temperature depends on the nitrogen composition. InAs QDs overgrown with larger nitrogen mole fraction GINA show a smaller PL peak blue-shift after annealing. Intense and narrow PL emission in the 1.5 µm range is achieved for samples annealed at optimal temperature.
