Abstract(in English) Germanium-tin (Ge1−xSnx) quantum dots (QDs) are promising materials as a light-emitting device for optical wiring technology of LSI (1.55-μm waveband) because of those variable bandgaps by the Sn content and the dot size, and the transformability to the direct transition semiconductor for the Sn content over 10%. In this study, to realize the multilayer QDs structure, we examined the self-formation of Ge1−xSnx QDs on insulators by the control of surface migration of Sn atoms. The results revealed the control of the introduced Sn content and the deposition temperature of Ge1−xSnx enables the self-formation of the Ge1−xSnx microcrystals (grains) with Sn content over 10%. Importantly, for the 5-nm-thick deposition case, by controlling the deposition temperature, we can form the isolated nanocrystals but coexisting amorphous layer and the island structure with nanocrystals in contact with each other. This suggests the thinner Ge1−xSnx deposition under a further controlled condition will realize the isolated Ge1−xSnx QDs structure.
