Photoluminescence (PL) of self-organized InAs quantum dots (QDs) grown by conventional solid source molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) on a GaAs substrate was studied as a function of the deposition temperature. We have found that decreasing the growth temperature below the 480-500 degrees C range leads to the appearance and increase in intensity of a long wavelength band in addition to the usual 1 mu m line in a low-temperature PL spectrum. At the deposition temperature of 300 degrees C this line dominates in the room temperature (RT) PL spectrum and its peak position is 1.75 m m. TEM studies have shown that the origin of this line are agglomerates of QDs which are formed in two preferential chain- and cluster-like shapes. (C) 1999 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
