The deterministic integration of quantum emitters into on-chip photonic elements is crucial for the implementation of scalable on-chip quantum circuits. Recent activities include multistep-lithography [1] as well as AFM tip transfer [2]. Here we report on the deterministic integration of single QDs into on-chip beam splitters using single step in-situ electron beam lithography [3]. In order to realize 50/50 coupling elements acting as central building blocks of on-chip quantum circuits we chose tapered multimode interference (MMI) splitters which feature relaxed fabrication tolerances and robust 50/50 splitting ratio. We demonstrate the functionality of the deterministic QD-waveguide structures by μPL spectroscopy and photon cross-correlation between the two MMI output ports. The latter confirms single-photon emission and on-chip splitting associated with g(2)(0) < 0.5 [4].
