Abstract
The authors report a spatial control of the band gap in InGaAs/GaAs quantum dots (QDs) using the combined effects of pulsed excimer laser irradiation and impurity-free dielectric cap induced intermixing technique. A large band gap shift of up to 180 meV has been obtained under laser irradiation of 480 mJ/cm 2 and 150 pulses to the SiO 2 capped shallow QD structure, while the nonirradiated SiO 2 and Si xN y capped QDs only exhibit band gap shifts of 18 and 91 meV, respectively.
