  • Abstract
    We have proposed a new method to fabricate quantum dots by etching grain boundary of poly-Si recrystallized from very thin amorphous Si. Electrical characteristics such as I-V and C-V of MOS capacitor are introduced. We consider the proposed method is very simple and reasonable, but still needs process optimization of the nano-crystal formation.
