Abstract

The effect of interface modification by insertion of Se layer on the formation of InAs dots on GaAs(001) is investigated by means of reflection high energy electron diffraction (RHEED) and atomic force microscope. The incorporation of a Se single layer into the interface is found to give rise to an extended critical thickness, presumably due to reduction of interface energy by the formation of Se-Ga/Se-In bonds. The reorganization of InAs supercritical 2D layers to form InAs dots on Se-treated GaAs(001) surface is reviewed by AFM images.
