Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) are attractive building blocks for scalable quantum information processing systems. In the last years, there has been an increasing need for the investigation of site-controlled QDs, which can be used as active elements in quantum devices such as single-photon sources. In this work, we present the growth of site-controlled InAs QDs on pre-patterned GaAs substrates using electron beam lithography, wet-chemical etching and molecular beam epitaxy. Large QD arrays with periodicities ranging from 0.5 µm to 8 µm were achieved. The single QDs obtained in this study present a high optical quality, which have been evaluated by micro-photoluminescence.
