Spatial control over the position of a single quantum dot is important for the realization of quantum optical and quantum electronic devices. We integrated site-controlled InAs quantum dots (SCQDs) in an electrically driven p-i-n diode by performing molecular beam epitaxial (MBE) growth on a pre-patterned substrate. The SCQDs are grown on a line of nanoholes fabricated with electron beam lithography and wet etching. We employed a low quality factor single-sided micropillar cavity design with diameters smaller than 2 µm that allows for directed and highly efficient light emission. The bottom (top) distributed Bragg reflector (DBR) consist of 24 p-doped (5 n-doped) pairs of quarter-wavelength thick layers of AlAs and GaAs. The SCQDs are centered in the intrinsic GaAs λ-cavity. Microelectroluminescence measurements of electrically driven SCQDs reveal emission from single SCQDs with narrow linewidths down to 170 µeV.
