Deterministic Nanofabrication of Quantum Dot ‐ Circular Bragg Grating Resonators with High Process Yield Using In Situ Electron Beam Lithography

ABSTRACT The controlled integration of quantum dots (QDs) as single‐photon emitters into quantum light sources is essential for the implementation of large‐scale quantum networks. In this study, we employ the deterministic in situ electron‐beam lithography (iEBL) nanotechnology platform to integrate individual QDs with high accuracy and process yield into a circular Bragg grating (CBG) resonators. Notably, CBG devices comprising just 3 to 4 rings exhibit photon extraction efficiencies comparable to those of structures with more rings. This facilitates faster fabrication, reduces the device footprint, and enables compatibility with electrical contacting. To demonstrate the scalability of this process, we present results of 95 optically active QD‐CBG devices fabricated across two lithography sessions. These devices exhibit bright, narrow‐linewidth single‐photon emission with excellent optical quality. To evaluate QD placement accuracy, we apply a powerful characterization technique that combines cathodoluminescence (CL) mapping and scanning electron microscopy. Statistical analysis of these devices reveals that our iEBL approach enables high alignment accuracy and a process yield of over across various CBG geometries. Our findings highlight a reliable route toward the scalable fabrication of high‐performance QD‐based single‐photon sources for use in photonic quantum technology applications.
