Abstract
The fabrication of a quantum-dot light-emitting diode (QD-LED) obtained by epitaxial growth on pyramidal recess patterns was described. The photolithography and lift-off techniques were used to define contact regions of different sizes. The process enabled to control the number of emitters and the size of the metal contacts down to a single QD with submicron contacts. The room-temperature current-voltage characteristics of the fabricated QD LED were found to exhibit a standard rectifying behavior with a turn on voltage of about 1.5 V and a breakdown voltage of about 6 V.
