GaAs buffer layers were patterned with Ga+ ions via a focused ion beam and then overgrown with InAs. Atomic force microscopy reveals a strong influence of the ion dose upon subsequent formation of InAs quantum dots. Uniformly dosed areas show an apparent reduction in the critical thickness for quantum dot formation and the area density of the dots increases with increasing ion dose, which is related to ion beam induced roughening of the surface. ©2007 American Institute of Physics
