Manipulating InAs nanowires with submicrometer precision.
نویسندگان
چکیده
InAs nanowires are grown epitaxially by catalyst-free metal organic vapor phase epitaxy and are subsequently positioned with a lateral accuracy of less than 1 μm using simple adhesion forces between the nanowires and an indium tip. The technique, requiring only an optical microscope, is used to place individual nanowires onto the corner of a cleaved-edge wafer as well as across predefined holes in Si(3)N(4) membranes. The precision of the method is limited by the stability of the micromanipulators and the precision of the optical microscope.

Bridging dimensions: demultiplexing ultrahigh-density nanowire circuits.
A demultiplexer is an electronic circuit designed to separate two or more combined signals. We report on a demultiplexer architecture for bridging from the submicrometer dimensions of lithographic patterning to the nanometer-scale dimensions that can be achieved through nanofabrication methods for the selective addressing of ultrahigh-density nanowire circuits. Order log2(N) large wires are req...
متن کاملBand-inverted gaps in InAs/GaSb and GaSb/InAs core-shell nanowires
The [111]-oriented InAs/GaSb and GaSb/InAs core-shell nanowires have been studied by the 8 × 8 Luttinger-Kohn Hamiltonian to search for non-vanishing fundamental gaps between inverted electron and hole bands. We focus on the variations of the band-inverted fundamental gap, the hybridization gap, and the effective gap with the core radius and shell thickness of the nanowires. The evolutions of a...
متن کاملSelf-induced growth of vertical free-standing InAs nanowires on Si(111) by molecular beam epitaxy.
We report self-induced growth of vertically aligned (i.e. along the [111] direction), free-standing InAs nanowires on Si(111) substrates by solid-source molecular beam epitaxy. Implementation of an ultrathin amorphous SiO(x) mask on Si(111) facilitated epitaxial InAs nanowire growth, as confirmed by high-resolution x-ray diffraction 2theta-omega scans and transmission electron microscopy. Depen...
متن کاملSynthesis, Contact Printing, and Device Characterization of Ni-Catalyzed, Crystalline InAs Nanowires
Address correspondence to [email protected] ABSTRACT InAs nanowires have been actively explored as the channel material for high performance transistors owing to their high electron mobility and ease of ohmic metal contact formation. The catalytic growth of nonepitaxial InAs nanowires, however, has often relied on the use of Au colloids which is non-CMOS compatible. Here, we demonstrate ...
متن کاملControlled synthesis of phase-pure InAs nanowires on Si(111) by diminishing the diameter to 10 nm.
Here we report the growth of phase-pure InAs nanowires on Si (111) substrates by molecular-beam epitaxy using Ag catalysts. A conventional one-step catalyst annealing process is found to give rise to InAs nanowires with diameters ranging from 4.5 to 81 nm due to the varying sizes of the Ag droplets, which reveal strong diameter dependence of the crystal structure. In contrast, a novel two-step ...
