  • Abstract
    Self assembled InAs QDs on cross-hatch virtual substrate (VS) consisting of 50-nm-thick InxGa1-xAs/GaAs(001) are grown. The periodicity of cross-hatch patterns are collapsed due to the formation of substrate mounds and pits during pre-heat GaAs substrate. The subsequent growth of QDs on the deformed cross-hatch surface is studied by atomic force microscopy (AFM).
