In this work we use the in-situ accumulated stress monitoring technique to evaluate the evolution of the stress during the strain balancing of InAs/GaAs quantum dots and quantum posts. The comparison of these results with simulations and other strain balanced criteria commonly used indicate that it is necessary to consider the kinematics of the process, not only the nominal values for the deposited materials. We find that the substrate temperature plays a major role on the compensation process and it is necessary to take it into account in order to achieve the optimum compensation conditions. The application of the technique to quantum posts has allowed us to fabricate nanostructures of exceptional length (120 nm). In situ accumulated measurements show that, even in shorter nanostrcutures, relaxation processes can be inhibited with the resulting increase in the material quality.
