Abstract

We report on a scalable fabrication technology for devices based on single quantum dots (QDs) which combines site-controlled growth of QDs with an accurate alignment procedure. Placement of individual QDs and corresponding device structures with a standard deviation of around 50 nm from the target position was achieved. The potential of the technology is demonstrated by fabricating arrays of mesas, each containing one QD at a defined position. The presence of single, optically active QDs in the mesas was probed by scanning microphotoluminescence of the mesa arrays. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
