Abstract
In this paper the vertical stacks of semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) without dislocations, incorporated in the other
semiconductor substrate, for the epitaxial growth in the crystal direction (001) were considered. Analytical expressions for
the strain in the both semiconductors were derived for the case when the thicknesses of QDs and the substrate spacers are
small enough in comparision with the stack lateral dimensions. In the particular case when the stack consists of InAs QDs in
the GaAs substrate, the obtained results were calculated and shown graphically..
