摘要:

采用动力学蒙特卡罗(kinetic Monte Carlo, KMC)模型模拟了GaAs应变弛豫图形衬底上InAs量子点生长的初始阶段.GaAs应变弛豫图形衬底是通过在其衬底中埋藏已制备的InAs量子点得到,并运用格林函数法计算在不同的埋藏深度下衬底表面的应变能,然后将计算结果运用到生长模拟过程中.模拟中分别考虑了温度、沉积速率和埋层深度对量子点生长的影响.模拟结果表明:通过控制生长温度和沉积速率能形成均匀、有序分布的2D岛;埋层深度越大, 越不利于沉积原子聚集.

关键词: 量子点, 蒙特卡罗模拟, 生长温度, 沉积速率, 应变能

Abstract:

The kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) model is used to simulate the initial phase of the growth of InAs quantum dots on GaAs strain relaxation substrate. The strain relaxation of GaAs substrate can be obtained by burying InAs quantum dot in the substrate. The Green's function method is used to calculate strain energy distributed in the substrate surface under different burial depths. The calculation results are applied to the growth process, in which the effects of temperature, deposition rate and buried depth on the growth are considered. Simulation results show that, by controlling the growth temperature and deposition rate, uniform and orderly distribution of 2D islands can be obtained. In addition, the greater the depth of burial, the more unfavorable to the atomic aggregation.

Key words: quantum dot, kinetic Monte Carlo (KMC) simulation, growth temperature, deposition rate, strain energy
