Patterned growth of silicon oxide nanowires from iron ion implanted SiO2 substrates.

چکیده
We demonstrate experimentally a simple and efficient approach for silicon oxide nanowire growth, by implanting Fe(+) ions into thermally grown SiO(2) layers on Si wafers and subsequently annealing in argon and hydrogen to nucleate the nanowires. We study the effect of implantation dose and energy, growth temperature, H(2) gas flow, and growth time on the silicon oxide nanowire growth. We find that sufficiently high implant dose, high growth temperature, and the presence of H(2) gas flow are crucial parameters for silicon oxide nanowire growth. We also demonstrate the patterned growth of silicon oxide nanowires in localized areas by lithographic patterning and etching of the implanted SiO(2) substrates before growth. We propose a simple physical model to explain the growth results. This works opens up the possibility of growing silicon oxide nanowires directly from solid substrates, controlling the location of nanowires at the submicron scale, and integrating them into nonplanar three-dimensional nanoscale device structures.

متن کاملpH driven addressing of silicon nanowires onto Si3N4/SiO2 micro-patterned surfaces.
pH was used as the main driving parameter for specifically immobilizing silicon nanowires onto Si3N4 microsquares at the surface of a SiO2 substrate. Different pH values of the coating aqueous solution enabled to experimentally distribute nanowires between silicon nitride and silicon dioxide: at pH 3 nanowires were mainly anchored on Si3N4; they were evenly distributed between SiO2 and Si3N4 at...
متن کاملLow-Temperature Selective Growth of Tungsten Oxide Nanowires by Controlled Nanoscale Stress Induction
We report a unique approach for the patterned growth of single-crystalline tungsten oxide (WOx) nanowires based on localized stress-induction. Ions implanted into the desired growth area of WOx thin films lead to a local increase in the compressive stress, leading to the growth of nanowire at lower temperatures (600 °C vs. 750-900 °C) than for equivalent non-implanted samples. Nanowires were su...

Nickel silicide (NiSi) nanowires with different linewidth (from 1000 to 32 nm) are formed in pre-patterned SiO2 trenches on a silicon substrate. SiO2 trenches are milled by focused ion beam (FIB) etching, and an electrical endpoint detection technique is used to control the FIB milling depth to just reveal the silicon surface. The formation is based on Ni thin film deposition and the subsequent...
