چکیده

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 interface with AlGaAs film underneath are obtained by using a unique atom probe tomography technique, providing critical insights for the growth and potential applications of these nanowires.

Atom probe tomography of a-axis GaN nanowires: analysis of nonstoichiometric evaporation behavior.

GaN nanowires oriented along the nonpolar a-axis were analyzed using pulsed laser atom probe tomography (APT). Stoichiometric mass spectra were achieved by optimizing the temperature, applied dc voltage, and laser pulse energy. Local variations in the measured stoichiometry were observed and correlated with facet polarity using scanning electron microscopy. Fewer N atoms were detected from nonp...
