  • On the correlation between the self-organized Island pattern and substrate elastic anisotropy
    Journal of Applied Physics, 2006
    Co-Authors: Ernian Pan, Richard Zhu, Peter W. Chung
    Abstract:

    Self-organized quantum dots pattern depends strongly on the elastic strain energy of the substrate. It is well-known experimentally that for the elastic substrate with a high degree of anisotropy, the epitaxially Grown Island patterns are different for different growth orientations. In this paper, by incorporating the anisotropic strain energy field into a kinetic Monte Carlo algorithm for adatom diffusion, we show that the self-organized Island pattern on the surface of an anisotropic substrate is closely correlated to the elastic energy distribution on the surface. The anisotropic substrates studied are GaAs with different growth orientations (001), (111), and (113). An isotropic substrate Iso (001), reduced from GaAs, is also investigated for the purpose of comparison. The Island patterns on these substrates with and without elastic strain energy are presented. Besides the effect of substrate anisotropy, different growth parameters, including temperature, coverage, and interruption time, are further in...
