Background:

Self-assembly of quantum dots (QDs) is crucial for applications requiring ordered arrays.
Current self-assembly methods produce short-range order with large-scale defects like grain boundaries and dislocations.
Rotational invariance in film growth contributes to defect formation in QD arrays.

Purpose of the Study:

To investigate an anisotropic model for quantum dot formation to mitigate defects.
To propose a novel method for fabricating perfectly ordered quantum dot arrays.
To provide general principles for designing masks for controlled QD deposition.

Main Methods:

Studied an anisotropic model of quantum dot formation.
Employed nonlinear stability analysis to assess array stability.
Developed and applied a masked deposition technique.
Performed numerical integration of the QD formation model.

Main Results:

Anisotropic models, even at extreme limits, did not eliminate defects in QD arrays.
Masked deposition effectively controls QD placement.
Perfectly ordered square arrays of quantum dots were successfully created using the proposed masked deposition method.

Conclusions:

Masked deposition offers a viable strategy to overcome inherent limitations of QD self-assembly.
This method enables the fabrication of defect-free, long-range ordered quantum dot arrays.
The findings pave the way for advanced applications requiring highly ordered nanostructures.
