Abstract

A quantum semiconductor device including quantum dots formed by S-K growth process taking place in a heteroepitaxial system wherein the relationship between the energy level of light holes and the energy level of heavy holes in the valence band is changed by optimizing the in-plane strain and the vertical strain accumulated in a quantum dot.
