Abstract
This paper reports the recent progress obtained by direct growth of III-V semiconductor quantum dots (QDs) on flat and prepatterned silicon substrates. For the flat surfaces, we discuss the basic growth studies addressing mainly morphological and structural properties of QD-like structures using transmission electron microscopy. For the growth on prepatterned substrates, we report on the optimization of the electron beam lithography process to fabricate sub-100 nm holes in silicon and the MBE growth on prepatterned Si (1 0 0) surfaces. Finally, we report the observation of bright photoluminescence emissions from single InAs/GaAs QDs grown directly on flat silicon substrates.
