Silicon nanowire devices

چکیده
Transport measurements were carried out on 15–35 nm diameter silicon nanowires grown using SiH4 chemical vapor deposition via Au or Zn particle-nucleated vapor-liquid-solid growth at 440 °C. Both Al and Ti/Au contacts to the wires were investigated. The wires, as produced, were essentially intrinsic, although Au nucleated wires exhibited a slightly higher conductance. Thermal treatment of the fabricated devices resulted in better electrical contacts, as well as diffusion of dopant atoms into the nanowires, and increased the nanowire conductance by as much as 10. Three terminal devices indicate that the doping of the wires is p type. © 2000 American Institute of Physics. @S0003-6951~00!00715-4#

Silicon nanowire (SiNW) arrays were produced by electroless method on polycrystalline Si substrate, in HF/ AgNO3 solution. Although the monocrystalline silicon wafer is commonly utilized as a perfect substrate, polycrystalline silicon as a low cost substrate was used in this work for photovoltaic applications. In order to study the influence of etching time (which affects the SiNWs length) on d...

Semiconductor nanowires show promise for application in nanoscale electronics, but the difficulty of forming low-resistance ohmic contacts provides a challenge to their implementation. To improve the electrical performance of lithographically defined nickel contacts, nickel-silicide/ silicon axial nanowire heterostructures were formed by controlled partial silicidation. Prior to annealing, two-...
متن کاملJoule-assisted silicidation for short-channel silicon nanowire devices.
We report on a technique enabling electrical control of the contact silicidation process in silicon nanowire devices. Undoped silicon nanowires were contacted by pairs of nickel electrodes, and each contact was selectively silicided by means of the Joule effect. By a real-time monitoring of the nanowire electrical resistance during the contact silicidation process we were able to fabricate nick...

متن کاملVertical Silicon Nanowire Arrays for Gas Sensing
The goal of this research was to fabricate and characterize vertically aligned silicon nanowire gas sensors. Silicon nanowires are very attractive for gas sensing applications and vertically aligned silicon nanowires are preferred over horizontal nanowires for gas sensing due to the high density of nanowire arrays and the increased nanowire surface area per substrate area. However, the developm...
