Abstract

A method of self-assembling silicon quantum dots comprises the steps of providing a substrate, forming a thin amorphous Si film, and forming a plurality of Si quantum dots by controlling the energy and the shooting numbers of an excimer laser during an annealing process, wherein the excimer laser emits light on the thin amorphous Si film.
