We report on a novel method of fabricating 10-nm-scale GaAs dot structures using molecular beam epitaxy and in situ gas etching. Self-assembled nanometer-scale InAs dots are formed first and are used as masks for the subsequent etching of GaAs by Cl 2 gas. In this approach, we also make use of HCl g...
