Each has its own advantages and disadvantages. While DRAM is fast but volatile, Flash is non-volatile but slow. A memory system based on self-organized quantum dots (QDs) as storage node could combine the advantages of modern DRAM and Flash, thus merging the latter?s non-volatility with very fast write times.   This thesis investigates the electronic properties of and carrier dynamics in self-organized quantum dots by means of time-resolved capacitance spectroscopy and time-resolved current measurements. The first aim is to study the localization energy of various QD systems in order to assess the potential of increasing the storage time in QDs to non-volatility. Surprisingly, it is found that the major impact of carrier capture cross-sections of QDs is to influence, and at times counterbalance, carrier storage in addition to the localization energy. The second aim is to study the coupling between a layer of self-organized QDs and a two-dimensional hole gas (2DHG), which is relevant for the read-out process in memory systems. The investigation yields the discovery of the many-particle ground states in the QD ensemble. In addition to its technological relevance, the thesis also offers new insights into the fascinating field of nanostructure physics. 410 0$aSpringer Theses, Recognizing Outstanding Ph.D. Research,$x2190-5053 606 $aSemiconductors 606 $aNanotechnology 606 $aElectronic circuits 606 $aComputer storage devices 606 $aSemiconductors$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P25150 606 $aNanotechnology$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/Z14000 606 $aElectronic Circuits and Devices$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P31010 606 $aNanotechnology and Microengineering$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/T18000 606 $aMemory Structures$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/I12034 615 0$aSemiconductors. 615 0$aNanotechnology. 615 0$aElectronic circuits. 615 0$aComputer storage devices. 615 14$aSemiconductors. 615 24$aNanotechnology. 615 24$aElectronic Circuits and Devices. 615 24$aNanotechnology and Microengineering. 615 24$aMemory Structures. 676 $a004.53 700 $aNowozin$b Tobias$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0791377 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910300371903321 996 $aSelf-Organized Quantum Dots for Memories$91768762 997 $aUNINA
