Methods for fabricating Ohmic contacts to nanowires and nanotubes

A comparison of methods to create Ohmic contacts to semiconductor nanowires NWs and carbon nanotubes CNTs is presented. A Ni/Au lift-off metallization was used to contact GaN and In2O3 NWs and CNTs using electron-beam e-beam or optical lithography. In order to render the metal-semiconductor contacts Ohmic, e-beam-processed devices are found to require a postfabrication, high-temperature anneal,...

Monday Jan 15, 8:30am Spins in Quantum Dots

The material systems include GaAs/AlGaAs semiconductor heterostructures, semiconducting nanowires and carbon nanotubes. These materials have their own advantages that can be employed to engineer a spin-friendly environment. These include fabrication and electrical-control issues as well as the strength of the hyperfine interaction (i.e. presence or absence of nuclear spins) and the spinorbit in...
