Abstract
Recent progress in the growth of ordered Ge/Si quantum dots (QDs) is reviewed. We focus on the detailed progresses of the Ge/Si multiple layers QDs and the preparation of Ge/Si QDs by ion beam irradiation. In addition, the growth of Ge/Si QDs on patterned substrate by using different preparation methods are also well discussed, such as nanosphere lithography technology, extreme ultra-violet interference lithography technology, nanoimprint lithography technology, etc.
