Over the last decade, the number of publications on GaN and ZnO nanowires has grown exponentially, in particular for their potential optical applications in LEDs, lasers, UV detectors or solar cells. So far, such applications are still in their infancy, which we analyze as being mostly due to a lack of understanding and control of the growth of nanowires and related heterostructures. Furthermore, dealing with two different but related semiconductors such as ZnO and GaN, but also with different chemical and physical synthesis methods, will bring valuable comparisons in order to gain a general approach for the growth of wide band gap nanowires applied to optical devices.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wide band-gap nanowires composed of GaN and ZnO are promising materials for unique designs and potential efficiency improvement of light emitting diodes (LEDs) for solid state lighting. The large surface-to-volume ratio of nanowires provides facile strain-relaxation such that nanowires can be grown on substrates with a large lattice mismatch and remain free of threading dislocations. Specifically, the growth of wide band-gap nanowires directly on Si substrates is a promising platform for the fabrication of wafer-scale nanowire array-based LEDs. While nanowire-based LEDs have been previously demonstrated, there has been no work directly comparing the different potential designs of nanowire-based LEDs addressing how material-specific properties affect the light extraction and internal quantum efficiency (IQE). Furthermore, for scalable fabrication of nanowire array-based LEDs on Si a large degree of control over the nanowire synthesis is necessary, especially with regard to the nanowire length uniformity, vertical alignment relative to the growth substrate and the nanowire areal density. In this work we directly compare feasible designs for GaN-InGaN nanowire-based LEDs using a combination of photonic simulation and modeling. We compared the directed external quantum efficiency of III-nitride LEDs on silicon based on axial and radial nanowire heterostructures, considering m- and c-directional nanowires. The directed extraction efficiency was calculated using photonic simulations and the IQE was estimated using the A-B-C model. We found that m-directional axial heterostructures have the highest directed extraction efficiency, due to the strong polarization anisotropy of III-nitrides, and display similar IQE as c-directional axial heterostructures. By combining IQE and directed extraction, a range of expected directed external quantum efficiencies (EQEs) reveal that m-directional axial heterostructures have EQEs up to three times that of c-directional axial heterostructures, providing guidelines for the design of future III-nitride nanowire-based LEDs. While III-nitride nanowires are promising candidates, ZnO is an alternative with a higher exciton binding energy and excellent optical properties. To create a platform for the fabrication of ZnO nanowire array-based LEDs on Si, the growth of ZnO was investigated primarily using ZnO solution-processed seed-layers in vapor transport and condensation growth at high temperatures. Due to dependency of the carbothermal reduction of ZnO powder, which acts as the precursor source in the growth, the nanowire areal density was dependent on O2 flow. At low nanowire areal density, growth proceeded in a regime in which continuous nucleation of nanowires occurred throughout the growth, resulting in nanowires with a fixed aspect ratio, but widely varying lengths. At higher nanowire areal densities, the nanowires competed for source precursors in a surface-diffusion limited regime of growth in which the growth rate was dependent upon the nanowire diameter. We observed a critical nucleation diameter for nanowires in the continuous-nucleation regime, which was higher at lower oxygen flow rates. Thus, to achieve length uniformity we developed a two-stage growth method in which nanowires are nucleated at low oxygen flow in the continuous nucleation regime to set the nanowire diameter. In the second stage of growth, where conditions were shifted to the surface-diffusion limited regime, the large diameters set by the first stage of growth were designed to be in the range at which the growth rate does not vary substantially with diameter. The concept of this approach was extended to include control over the nanowire areal density, using sparse ZnO seed-layers. These ZnO nanowires retain excellent optical properties and we observed both demonstrative ptype and n-type doping, dependent on processing conditions, using individual nanowire electrical characterization. Thus, by achieving ZnO nanowire arrays with controlled nanowire areal density, excellent length uniformity and vertical alignment relative to the substrate, we have demonstrated a promising platform for the fabrication of scalable ZnO nanowire array-based LEDs.

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.

This book was released on 2016 with total page 272 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Bottom-up nanowires are attractive for realizing semiconductor devices with extreme heterostructures because strain relaxation through the nanowire sidewalls allows the combination of highly lattice mismatched materials without creating dislocations. The resulting nanowires are used to fabricate light-emitting diodes (LEDs), lasers, solar cells, and sensors. The aim of this work is to investigate extreme heterostructures, which are impossible or very hard to realize in conventional planar films, exploiting the strain accommodation property of nanowires and engineer their band structure for novel electronic and photonic applications. To this end, in this thesis, III-Nitride semiconductor nanowires are investigated. In the first part of this work, a complete growth phase diagram of InN nanowires on silicon using plasma assisted molecular beam epitaxy is developed, and structural and optical characteristics are mapped as a function of growth parameters. Next, a novel up-side down pendeoepitaxial growth of InN forming mushroom-like microstructures is demonstrated and detail structural and optical characterizations are performed. Based on this, a method to grow strain-free large area single crystalline InN or thin film is proposed and the growth of InN on patterned GaN is investigated. The optimized growth conditions developed for InN are further used to grow InGaN nanowires graded over the whole composition range. Numerical energy band simulation is performed to better understand the effect of polarization charge on photo-carrier transport in these extremely graded nanowires. A novel photodetector device with negative differential photocurrent is demonstrated using the graded InGaN nanowires. In the second part of this thesis, polarization-induced nanowire light emitting diodes (PINLEDs) are investigated. The electrical and optical properties of the nanowire heterostructure are engineered and optimized for ultraviolet and deep ultraviolet applications. The electrical efficiency of the devices is engineered by either aggressively grading the p-type base or by integrating a polarization-induced tunnel junction at the base. The active region of the LEDs is tailored to have efficient emission at deep ultraviolet wavelengths by either extreme quantum confinement or by softening the potential profile of the quantum wells. Finally, the growth of III-N nanowire on metal substrate is demonstrated for cheap and scalable nanowire device applications.
