研究目的
Investigating the single photon emission properties of III-nitride quantum dots fabricated by electrochemical etching method.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrates single photon emission from top-down etched III-nitride quantum dots, with properties comparable to those of epitaxially grown QDs. The findings suggest that electrochemical etching is a viable method for fabricating single photon emitters, with potential for further optimization to improve performance.
研究不足
The study does not explore the optimization of etching conditions to enhance the yield of optical active QDs. Additionally, the single photon emission is only observed up to 130 K, indicating a limitation in high-temperature operation.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The study employs electrochemical etching to fabricate III-nitride quantum dots from an epitaxial wafer. The optical properties of these QDs are then characterized using photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy and second-order correlation measurements.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
The InGaN/GaN single quantum well wafer was grown on a c-plane sapphire substrate by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
A Keithley 2400 source-meter for external bias, a 75 W Xe lamp for etching assistance, and a scanning electron microscope (SEM) for morphology observation.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
The sample surface was treated with KOH solution before etching. Electrochemical etching was conducted in 0.5M HNO3 solution under a bias of 25 V. The etching process was monitored over time, and the resulting QDs were characterized for their optical properties.
