Abstract
We report a fabrication and luminescence study of GaInAs-InP single quantum wells down to lateral dimensions of 15nm. The changes in the energy position of the spectrum of wires and dots is explored as a function of processing parameters. Blue energy shifts of up to 8meV observed are too small considering the lateral dimensions and therefore processing induced strain has to be invoked to understand the weaker confinement in these structures. Tests of wet etching and annealing are reported.
