초록

Effect of high-temperature annealing on morphology of fully coherent self-assembled InAs quantum dots' grown on Si (100) substrates at $450^{\circ}C$ by atmospheric pressure metalorganic chemical vapor deposition(APMOCVD) was investigated by atomic force microscopy(AFM). When the dots were annealed at 500 - 600$^{\circ}C$ for 15 sec - 60 min, there was no appreciable change in the dot density but the heights of the dots increased along with the reduction in the diameters. In segregation from the InAs quantum dots and/or from the 2-dimensional InAs wetting layer which was not transformed into quantum dots looked responsible for this change in the dot size. However the change rates remained almost same regardless of annealing time and temperature, which may indicate that the morphological change due to thermal annealing is done instantly when the dots are exposed to high temperature annealing.
