title: The engineering of quantum-dot devices.
abstract: Insofar as quantum-dot structures represent the extrapolation of today's microstructures used for electronic and optoelectronic device applications, their low-cost manufacture presents many challenges which will take some time to overcome if tunnel and quantum-well devices are any guide.
