ABSTRACT:
A method of fabricating a quantum wire structure includes forming a first insulating film on a surface of a substrate of a first semiconductor, the insulating film including a pattern of spaced apart mask elements having a width not exceeding 100 nm; selectively growing a layer of a second semiconductor on the surface of the substrate employing the insulating film as a growth mask, the layer including spaced apart second semiconductor elements, each second semiconductor element having a trapezoidal cross-section transverse to the surface of the substrate and including an upper surface generally parallel to the surface of the substrate and sloped surfaces oriented so that a third semiconductor does not grow on the sloped surfaces; growing a layer of a third semiconductor having a smaller band gap energy than the band gap energies of the first and second semiconductors on the upper surfaces of the second semiconductor elements and on the surface of the substrate between adjacent second semiconductor elements but not on the sloped surfaces of the second semiconductor elements, the third semiconductor forming quantum wires; and growing a layer of a fourth semiconductor having a band gap energy larger than the band gap energy of the third semiconductor on and burying the layers of the second and third semiconductors.
