GaN quantum dots (QDs) embedded in an AlN matrix enable single and entangled photon emitters operating at room temperature, which are key elements in quantum information science. Stranski-Krastanow (SK) growth of GaN QDs by metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) is subject to a multi-dimensional parameter space of which we have studied the effects of temperature, V/III ratio, and growth interruption (GRI). Desorption effects have a large impact on surface morphologies. Performing a GRI without ammonia supply transforms two dimensional GaN grown under a high V/III ratio into three dimensional islands with a few nm in height and 50-90 nm in diameter. Narrow emission lines of 10 meV from individual islands are observed in µ-PL experiments. Experiments with different V/III ratios during GaN deposition show that a SK-growth mode transition can be achieved for low V/III ratios during GaN deposition. Thereby, QDs with an average height of 4.5 nm and 26 nm in diameter are obtained at densities of 10¹⁰ cm⁻².
