The invention concerns a method for manufacturing sizeable quantum dots of Indium
Nitride in which a layer of Indium Nitride is grown onto a layer of crystalline
buffer. The crystalline buffer is chosen with a lattice structure similar to the
lattice structure of Indium Nitride and with the lattice mismatch between Indium
Nitride and the crystalline buffer being greater than 5%. During the growth of
Indium Nitride, surface strains are produced by the crystalline buffer, allowing
the Indium Nitride to self-organize onto the crystalline buffer so as to form a
plurality of sizeable quantum dots.
