Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One dimensional electronic materials are expected to be key components owing to their potential applications in nanoscale electronics, optics, energy storage, and biology. Besides, compound semiconductors have been greatly developed as epitaxial growth crystal materials. Molecular beam and metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy approaches are representative techniques achieving 0D–2D quantum well, wire, and dot semiconductor III-V heterostructures with precise structural accuracy with atomic resolution. Based on the background of those epitaxial techniques, high-quality, single-crystalline III-V heterostructures have been achieved. III-V Nanowires have been proposed for the next generation of nanoscale optical and electrical devices such as nanowire light emitting diodes, lasers, photovoltaics, and transistors. Key issues for the realization of those devices involve the superior mobility and optical properties of III-V materials (i.e., nitride-, phosphide-, and arsenide-related heterostructure systems). Further, the developed epitaxial growth technique enables electronic carrier control through the formation of quantum structures and precise doping, which can be introduced into the nanowire system. The growth can extend the functions of the material systems through the introduction of elements with large miscibility gap, or, alternatively, by the formation of hybrid heterostructures between semiconductors and another material systems. This book reviews recent progresses of such novel III-V semiconductor nanowires, covering a wide range of aspects from the epitaxial growth to the device applications. Prospects of such advanced 1D structures for nanoscience and nanotechnology are also discussed.

Download or read book Fundamental Properties of Semiconductor Nanowires written by Naoki Fukata and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-11-16 with total page 454 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book covers virtually all aspects of semiconductor nanowires, from growth to related applications, in detail. First, it addresses nanowires’ growth mechanism, one of the most important topics at the forefront of nanowire research. The focus then shifts to surface functionalization: nanowires have a high surface-to-volume ratio and thus are well-suited to surface modification, which effectively functionalizes them. The book also discusses the latest advances in the study of impurity doping, a crucial process in nanowires. In addition, considerable attention is paid to characterization techniques such as nanoscale and in situ methods, which are indispensable for understanding the novel properties of nanowires. Theoretical calculations are also essential to understanding nanowires’ characteristics, particularly those that derive directly from their special nature as one-dimensional nanoscale structures. In closing, the book considers future applications of nanowire structures in devices such as FETs and lasers.

This book was released on 2012 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Semiconductor nanowires are nanostructures with lengths up to few microns and small cross sections (10ths of nanometers). In the recent years the development in the field of III-N nanowire technology has been spectacular. In particular they are consider as promising building in nanoscale electronics and optoelectronics devices; such as photodetectors, transistors, biosensors, light source, solar cells, etc. In this work, we present fabrication and the characterization of photodetector and light emitter based devices on III-N nanowires. First we present a study of a visible blind photodetector based on p-i-n GaN nanowires ensembles grown on Si (111). We show that these devices exhibit a high responsivity exceeding that of thin film counterparts. We also demonstrate UV photodetectors based on single nanowires containing GaN/AlN multi-axial quantum discs in the intrinsic region of the nanowires. Photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence spectroscopy show spectral contributions above and below the GaN bandgap according to the variation of the discs thickness. The photocurrent spectra show a sub-band-gap peak related to the interband absorption between the confined states in the large Qdiscs. Finally we present a study of photodetectors and light emitters based on radial InGaN/GaN MQW embedded in GaN wires. The wires used as photodetectors showed a contribution below the GaN bandgap. OBIC measurements demonstrate that, this signal is exclusively generated in the InGaN MQW region. We showed that LEDs based on this structure show a electroluminescence emission and a red shift when the In content present in the QWs increases which is in good agreement with photoluminescence and cathodoluminescence results.

Download or read book Growth and Application of Planar III V Semiconductor Nanowires Grown with MOCVD written by Seth A. Fortuna and published by . This book was released on 2010 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The semiconductor nanowire has been widely studied over the past decade and identified as a promising nanotechnology building block with application in photonics and electronics. The flexible bottom-up approach to nanowire growth allows for straightforward fabrication of complex 1D nanostructures with interesting optical, electrical, and mechanical properties. III-V nanowires in particular are useful because of their direct bandgap, high carrier mobility, and ability to form heterojunctions and have been used to make devices such as light-emitting diodes, lasers, and field-effect transistors. However, crystal defects are widely reported for III-V nanowires when grown in the common out-of-plane 111B direction. Furthermore, commercialization of nanowires has been limited by the difficulty of assembling nanowires with predetermined position and alignment on a wafer-scale. In this thesis, planar III-V nanowires are introduced as a low-defect and integratable nanotechnology building block grown with metalorganic chemical vapor deposition. Planar GaAs nanowires grown with gold seed particles self-align along the 110 direction on the (001) GaAs substrate. Transmission electron microscopy reveals that planar GaAs nanowires are nearly free of crystal defects and grow laterally and epitaxially on the substrate surface. The nanowire morphology is shown to be primarily controlled through growth temperature and an ideal growth window of 470 +- 10 °C is identified for planar GaAs nanowires. Extension of the planar growth mode to other materials is demonstrated through growth of planar InAs nanowires. Using a sacrificial layer, the transfer of planar GaAs nanowires onto silicon substrates with control over the alignment and position is presented. A metal-semiconductor field-effect transistor fabricated with a planar GaAs nanowire shows bulk-like low-field electron transport characteristics with high mobility. The aligned planar geometry and excellent material quality of planar III-V nanowires may lead to highly integrated III-V nanophotonics and nanoelectronics.
