Towards controlled Doping in III-V Semiconductor Nanowires
Nanowires are quasi-one-dimensional single crystals with lateral dimensions that can be scaled-down to only a few nanometers. They can simultaneously act as active components and interconnects and therefore fulfill the two basic functions of any active device. However, controlled doping of III-V nanowires is challenging due to strong Fermi-level pinning as well as the kinetic and thermodynamic ...
متن کاملEffects of quantum confinement on the doping limit of semiconductor nanowires.
We have calculated the effects of quantum confinement on maximum achievable free carrier concentrations in semiconductor nanowires. Our calculations are based on the amphoteric defect model, which describes the thermodynamic doping limit in semiconductors in terms of the compensation of external dopants by native defects. We find that the generation of amphoteric native defects strongly limits ...
متن کاملMetal-catalyzed semiconductor nanowires
Semiconductor nanowires have become an important building block for nanotechnology. The growth of semiconductor nanowires using a metal catalyst via the vapor–liquid–solid (VLS) or vapor–solid–solid (VSS) mechanism has yielded growth directions in 〈1 1 1〉, 〈1 0 0〉 and 〈1 1 0〉 etc. In this paper, we summarize and discuss a broad range of factors that affect the growth direction of VLS or VSS gro...
متن کاملTOPICAL REVIEW Semiconductor nanowires
Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) represent a unique system for exploring phenomena at the nanoscale and are also expected to play a critical role in future electronic and optoelectronic devices. Here we review recent advances in growth, characterization, assembly and integration of chemically synthesized, atomic scale semiconductor NWs. We first introduce a general scheme based on a metal-cluster ...
متن کاملEpitaxy of semiconductor-superconductor nanowires.
Controlling the properties of semiconductor/metal interfaces is a powerful method for designing functionality and improving the performance of electrical devices. Recently semiconductor/superconductor hybrids have appeared as an important example where the atomic scale uniformity of the interface plays a key role in determining the quality of the induced superconducting gap. Here we present epi...
