In this Letter, we report the site-controlled growth of InP nanolasers on a silicon substrate with patterned SiO nanomasks by low-temperature metal-organic chemical vapor deposition, compatible with silicon complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS) post-processing. A two-step growth procedure is presented to achieve smooth wurtzite faceting of vertical nanopillars. By incorporating InGaAs multiquantum wells, the nanopillar emission can be tuned over a wide spectral range. Enhanced quality factors of the intrinsic InP nanopillar cavities promote lasing at 0.87 and 1.21 μm, located within two important optical telecommunication bands. This is the first demonstration of a site-controlled III-V nanolaser monolithically integrated on silicon with a silicon-transparent emission wavelength, paving the way for energy-efficient on-chip optical links at typical telecommunication wavelengths.

In(Ga)As quantum dot (QD) with uniform size and controlled sites have great potential in optical communications and quantum computing. In this review, we focus on the site-controlled preparation of In(Ga)As quantum dot arrays based on patterned substrates, including the improvements made by the researchers to enhance the quantum dot site-control capability and optical quality. Based on the current research on site-controlled In(Ga)As QDs, it has been possible to grow uniformly ordered In(Ga)As QD arrays, in which the size, morphology, and nucleus location of each quantum dot can be precisely controlled.

Semiconductor quantum dots (QDs)/microdisks promise a unique system for comprehensive studies on cavity quantum electrodynamics and great potential for on-chip integrated light sources. Here, we report on a strategy for precisely site-controlled Ge QDs in SiGe microdisks via self-assembly growth of QDs on a micropillar with deterministic pits and subsequent etching. The competitive growth of QDs in pits and at the periphery of the micropillar is disclosed.

Ge/Si nanowires are predicted to be a promising platform for spin and even topological qubits. While for large-scale integration of these devices, nanowires with fully controlled positions and arrangements are a prerequisite. Here, we have reported ordered Ge hut wires by multilayer heteroepitaxy on patterned Si (001) substrates.

In this study, a novel pressure-induced supercritical phase nucleation method is proposed to synthesize monolayer MoS films, which is promoter free and can avoid contamination of films derived from these heterogeneous promoters in most of the existing techniques. The low-crystallinity and size-controlled MoO(acac) particles are recrystallized on the substrate via the pressure-sensitive solvent capacity of supercritical CO and these particles are used as growth sites. The size of single-crystal MoS on the substrate is found to be dependent on the wetting area of the pyrolyzed precursor droplets (MoO) on the surface, and the formation of continuous films with high coverage is mainly controlled by the coalescence of MoO droplets.

Site-controlled Ga droplets on AlGaAs substrates are fabricated using area-selective deposition of Ga through apertures in a mask during molecular beam epitaxy (MBE). The Ga droplets can be crystallized into GaAs quantum dots using a crystallization step under As flux. In order to model the complex process, including the masked deposition of the droplets and a reduction of their number during a thermal annealing step, a multiscale kinetic Monte Carlo (mkMC) simulation of self-assembled Ga droplet formation on AlGaAs is expanded for area-selective deposition.
