In general, quantum structure uniformity and position control are very important factors in the fabrication of optoelectronic devices using quantum dots. However, the conventional mask and lithography methods have a disadvantage in that they are complex in process and have many surface defects.

Hereinafter, embodiments of the present invention will be described in detail with reference to the accompanying drawings. The configuration of the present invention and the operation and effect thereof will be clearly understood through the following detailed description.
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional view of a manufacturing process for explaining a quantum dot position control method using a direct lift-off according to the prior art. In order, MgF2 is deposited as an adhesion layer in step (a). (B) using a polymeric resist, such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), with a variable width between about 50 nm and 1 m and a half-width between about 250 nm and 5 m using electron beam lithography, pitch are arranged in a row. Here, PMMA is used as a mold for forming a quantum dot pattern. In the next step (c), the quantum dots are dispersed and deposited on the PMMA pattern. Thereafter, when the PMMA is removed through the lift-off process in step (d), only the quantum dot array is left.
However, in the case of the direct lift-off method, it is not easy to control the thickness and the width of the coated PMMA mold. Therefore, in order to trap a single quantum dot, it is necessary to make the size of a hole equal to or smaller than the size of the hole. This is not easy, and therefore, a structure in which a plurality of quantum dots are gathered rather than a single quantum dot is mostly generated . And, when it is made asymmetric structure like a long channel not a symmetric structure like a cylindrical shape, it is impossible to control the concentration between positions, that is, to control the number of quantum dots at each position.
FIG. 2 illustrates a quantum dot array structure generated using the direct lift-off method described with reference to FIG. In the case of the direct lift-off method, since the quantum dots can not be controlled one by one, a structure in which a plurality of quantum dots are aggregated occurs. Therefore, as shown in FIG. 2, the quantum dots do not have a uniform density depending on each position, that is, the number of quantum dots varies at each position, which causes brightness to vary.
FIG. 3 shows a cross-sectional view of a manufacturing process for explaining a quantum dot position control method using quantum dot doping according to another conventional technique. In order, a substrate is prepared for coating polymer resist such as PMMA in step (a), in which an adhesion layer is not essential. In step (b), the quantum dots are injected into the PMMA powder together with a solvent. Thereafter, in step (c), arrays having a predetermined width and interval are arranged in a line by using general electron beam lithography.
As shown in step (b) of FIG. 3, it can be seen that when the quantum dots are doped into the PMMA polymer, they are non-uniformly laid randomly. Therefore, when the desired structure is formed by patterning it, it is not easy to adjust the concentration at each position, and the number of the quantum dots varies at each position.
FIG. 4 illustrates a quantum dot array structure generated using the quantum dot injection method described with reference to FIG. The method of injecting a quantum dot shown in FIG. 3 also has a similar problem to that of the direct lift-off method of FIG. 1. Since uniform concentration control is difficult through quantum dot doping, the number of quantum dots varies at each position. The quantum dot injection method can be more uniform in its concentration control than the direct lift-off method, but it is still possible only to stochastically estimate the concentration from a certain range to a certain range, It is impossible to control it.
5A to 5F are cross-sectional views illustrating a method of controlling a quantum dot position according to an embodiment of the present invention. Hereinafter, experimental examples are provided to facilitate understanding of the present invention. It should be understood, however, that the following examples are for the purpose of promoting understanding of the present invention and are not intended to limit the scope of the present invention.

Since most of the process contents are similar to those of FIGS. 5A to 5F, duplicate descriptions will be omitted.

8 is a perspective view illustrating a single quantum dot pattern structure produced according to another embodiment of the present invention. 7A to 7F, and arranging a plurality of such single quantum dots at regular intervals, a wide range of uniform quantum dot arrays can be formed. In such a case, the align error can be controlled to less than 10 nm, which is considerably more sophisticated than the position control method in the prior art.
In the single quantum dot pattern structure shown in FIG. 8, it can be seen that unlike the uneven density quantum dot arrays in FIGS. 2 and 4, a uniform uniform brightness is exhibited according to a uniform position interval.
8, a single quantum dot can be positioned on one end or both ends of a metal layer, for example, a gold (Au) deposition layer. In this case, it can be used as an ultra-small metamaterial antenna. In such a gold antenna, asymmetrical signal emission is possible when a single quantum dot is located at only one end, and symmetrical signal emission is possible when a single quantum dot is located at both ends.
When the gold antenna has a wavelength of 600 nm as a specific resonance frequency and the wavelength of the emission frequency of the quantum dot is 800 nm, when the quantum dot is excited first and the energy is transmitted to the gold antenna, Lt; / RTI >
FIGS. 9A to 9C show a light emission of a single quantum dot array according to an embodiment of the present invention.
FIG. 9A shows a single quantum dot array having a pitch of 2 μm according to an embodiment of the present invention. It can be seen that each single quantum dot is distributed with a constant pitch interval. Such single quantum dots are located on a single metal bar, metal layer or metal antenna, each of gold, and by arranging such a single metal bar in an array, a single quantum dot array as shown in FIG. 9A can be obtained.
Figs. 9B and 9C are enlarged photographs showing the emission of single quantum dots of one of the single quantum dot arrays of Fig. 9A. Referring to Fig. 9C, the circular shape of the single quantum dot emits brighter light in the outer circular band portion.
FIGS. 10A through 10C show radiation patterns of a micro metamaterial antenna according to an embodiment of the present invention. FIG.
When the quantum dots are attached to both ends of the gold antenna, that is, both ends of the gold antenna, it is possible to determine whether or not the quantum dots are closely attached to both ends of the gold antenna. For example, if a single quantum dot is not attached to both ends of the gold antenna, there will be no signal change since there is no emission of light from the quantum dot.
10A shows a radiation pattern of an XY axis of a single quantum dot in an ultra-small meta-material antenna fabricated according to an embodiment of the present invention, FIG. 10B is a graph showing a radiation pattern in the X-axis of a metamaterial antenna, Fig. 6 is a graph showing a radiation pattern in the Y-axis of the metamaterial antenna. Fig.
Referring to FIGS. 10B and 10C, when a single quantum dot is attached to both ends of the gold antenna, the signal intensity at both ends increases sharply. 10B and 10C, it can be seen that both ends of the gold antenna are located at distances of 100 and 250 pixels, and that the distance between the two ends of the gold antenna where the single quantum dot is located It can be seen that the signal intensity of the pattern is rapidly increased symmetrically, and thus it can be seen that the single quantum dot is located at a desired position, that is, at both ends of the gold antenna.
In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to fabricate a micrometer-sized meta-material antenna in nm, and the antenna frequency band can be increased to several hundred THz units in units of several hundred MHz.
In addition, according to the present invention, it is possible to improve the transmission efficiency and adjust the position and the intensity of the emitted signal by adjusting the position of attaching the quantum dot, by manufacturing a microminiaturized metamaterial antenna in which single quantum dots are arranged.
