  • Publication number: 20180233610
    Abstract: An optoelectronic device including three-dimensional semiconductor elements predominantly made of a first compound selected from among the group consisting of Compounds III-V, Compounds II-VI, and Compounds IV. Each semiconductor element defines, optionally with insulating portions partially covering said semiconductor element, at least one first surface including contiguous facets angled relative to each other. The optoelectronic device includes quantum dots at least some of the seams between the facets. The quantum dots are predominantly made of a mixture of the first compound and an additional element and are suitable for emitting or receiving a first electromagnetic radiation at a first wavelength.

  • Publication number: 20180211829
    Abstract: The invention relates to a method for manufacturing an optoelectronic device (50) including wire-like, conical, or frustoconical semiconductor elements (20) predominantly comprising a III-V compound. Each semiconductor element extends along an axis and includes a portion (54), the side surfaces (55) of which are covered with a shell (56) including at least one active region (31), wherein the portions are created by continuous growth in a reactor, and wherein the temperature in the reactor varies in an uninterrupted manner from a first temperature value that favors growth of first crystallographic planes perpendicular to said axis, to a second temperature value that is strictly lower than the first temperature value and favors growth of second crystallographic planes parallel to said axis.
