摘要：

We have systematically investigated the influence of MOCVD growth parameters on structural and optical properties of InxGa1-xAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) formed in the Stranski-Krastanow growth mode. The influence of growth interruption time, V/III ratio, In/Ga flux ratio and growth temperature was examined by photoluminescence (PL), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). For samples with high dot densities (up to 8 x 10(10) cm(-2)) the dots surprisingly show a preferential alignment along the [110] orientations differing from predictions of strain relaxation equilibrium theory and results for MBE grown InAs/GaAs dots. The square base shape of the quantum dots is oriented along (100) in agreement with MBE results and theoretical predictions.
