Epitaxial layer-by-layer growth without rotation of the substrate creates a thickness gradient along the surface with alternating smooth and rough layer areas. InAs quantum dots (QDs) grown on top of a GaAs gradient layer exhibit a density modulation along this gradient, which is studied with macro photoluminescence spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The periodicity of the modulation can be varied from a few hundred microns to several millimeters, depending on the thickness of the underlying gradient layer. Automated AFM measurements, covering multiple modulation periods along the gradient allow the investigation of wetting layer roughness, QD density and density of a smaller species of QDs, termed pre dots. AFM data analysis and extraction of parameters such as QD and monolayer step density is presented.
