ABSTRACT:
The present disclosure generally relates to techniques for controlled quantum dot growth as well as a quantum dot structures. In some examples, a method is described that includes one or more of providing a substrate, forming a defect on the substrate, depositing a layer on the substrate and forming quantum dots along the defect.
