Atomic scale investigation of silicon nanowires and nanoclusters
In this study, we have performed nanoscale characterization of Si-clusters and Si-nanowires with a laser-assisted tomographic atom probe. Intrinsic and p-type silicon nanowires (SiNWs) are elaborated by chemical vapor deposition method using gold as catalyst, silane as silicon precursor, and diborane as dopant reactant. The concentration and distribution of impurity (gold) and dopant (boron) in...
متن کاملDopant measurements in semiconductors with atom probe tomography
The capability of atom probe tomography to make useful measurements of dopant distribution single device geometry is explored by characterizing the compositional accuracy of reconstructed data sets. The objective of this analysis is to evaluate whether atom probe can provide measurements to guide a predictive model development for diffusion in device geometry and strain conditions. Simple measu...
متن کاملSynthesis of Serrated GaN Nanowires for Hydrogen Gas Sensors Applications by Plasma-Assisted Vapor Phase Deposition Method
Nowadays, the semiconductor nanowires (NWs) typically used in hydrogen gas sensors. Gallium nitride (GaN) with a wide band gap of 3.4 eV, is one of the best semiconductors for this function. NWs surface roughness have important role in gas sensors performance. In this research, GaN NWs have been synthesized on Si substrate by plasma-assisted vapor phase deposition at different deposition time, ...
متن کاملAtom probe tomography in nanoelectronics
The role of laser assisted atom probe tomography (APT) in microelectronics is discussed on the basis of various illustrations related to SiGe epitaxial layers, bipolar transistors or MOS nano-devices including gate all around (GAA) devices that were carried out at the Groupe de Physique des Matériaux of Rouen (France). 3D maps as provided by APT reveal the atomic-scale distribution of dopants a...
متن کاملDirect Observation of Dopants Distribution and Diffusion in GaAs Planar Nanowires with Atom Probe Tomography.
Intentional and unintentional doping in semiconductor nanowires undoubtedly have significant impact on the device performance. However, spatially resolved precise determination of dopant concentration is challenging due to insufficient sensitivity and resolution of conventional techniques. In this paper, quantitative 3D distribution of Si and Zn dopants in planar GaAs nanowires and their interf...
