Abstract

Provided is a method of forming quantum dots, including: forming a buffer layer on an InP substrate so as to be lattice-matched with the InP substrate; and sequentially alternately depositing In(Ga)As layers and InAl(Ga)As or In(Ga, Al, As)P layers that are greatly lattice-mismatched with each other on the buffer layer so as to form In(Ga, Al)As or In(Ga, Al, P)As quantum dots.
