Growth and Patterning of ZnO Nanowires on Silicon and LiNbO3 Substrates

چکیده
ZnO nanowires provide enormous advantages such as high aspect ratio, good field electron emission property and excellent molecular absorption and desorption characteristics in catalyst applications. Fabrication technologies with nanometer resolution will enable us to realize complex solid state devices with novel mechanical, electronic or optical functions. In this paper, two most popular substrates, silicon and LiNbO3, are chosen for the study on such integration issues. The influences from substrate, process procedures and etching solutions on the growth and patterning of ZnO nanowires are discussed. The results are quite promising.

Morphological, structural and photoresponse characterization of ZnO nanostructure films deposited on plasma etched silicon substrates
ZnO nanostructure films were deposited by radio frequency (RF) magnetron sputtering on etched silicon (100) substrates using dry Ar/SF6 plasma, at two etching times of 5 min and 30 min, and on non etched silicon surface. Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) technique was employed to investigate the elements contents for etched substrates as well as ZnO films, where it is found to be stoichiometric. Su...

متن کاملOrientation-enhanced growth and optical properties of ZnO nanowires grown on porous silicon substrates.
ZnO nanowires have been synthesized on porous silicon substrates with different porosities via the vapour-liquid-solid method. The texture coefficient analysed from the XRD spectra indicates that the nanowires are more highly orientated on the appropriate porosity of porous silicon substrate than on the smooth surface of silicon. The Raman spectrum reveals the high quality of the ZnO nanowires....

This paper shows that the reflectance in silicon nanowires (SiNWs) can be optimized as a function of the area of silicon substrate where the nanostructure growth. SiNWs were fabricated over four different areas of silicon substrates to study the size effects using electroless etching technique. Three different etching solution concentrations of silver nitrate (AgNO3) and hydroflu...
متن کاملCo-Synthesis and Characterization of In2O3 and ZnO Nanowires
Co-synthesis of In2O3 and ZnO nanowires (NWs) were grown on silicon and alumina substrates using vapour transport deposition method. Their morphological structures showed that the NWs were rather aligned on silicon substrate and randomly oriented on alumina substrate. The formation of NWs on silicon substrate was found to be dominated by the growth of ZnO NWs while that on alumina substrate was...
