Effect of sputtered films on morphology of vertical aligned ZnO nanowires

Vertical aligned ZnO nanowires were grown by MOCVD technique on silicon substrate using ZnO and AlN thin films as seed layers. The shape of nanostructures was greatly influenced by the under laying surface. Vertical nanopencils were observed on ZnO/Si, whereas the nanowires on both sapphire and AlN/Si substrate have the similar aspect ratio. XRD patterns suggest that the nanostructures have good crystallinity. High-resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) confirmed the single crystalline growth of the ZnO nanowires along [0 0 1] direction. Room-temperature photoluminescence (PL) spectra of ZnO nanowires on AlN/Si clearly show a band-edge luminescence accompanied with a visible emission. More interestingly, no visible emission for the nanopencils on ZnO/Si substrates, were observed.     

Porous silicon templates for electrodeposition of nanostructures

We report the fabrication and characterization of porous silicon templates for electrodeposition of high aspect ratio one-dimensional metallic nanostructures (nanowires/nanoparticles) in them. Even though nanostructures/nanowires in the past have been fabricated in alumina, polymer or silica templates, the advantages of this approach are the possibility for seamless integration of nanostructures with other silicon components, and silicon based sensors because of better physical and electrical interconnection between the nanostructure and the silicon substrate. In this work, fabrication and characterization of nanowires/nanostructures such as single-segment Ni–Fe and Au and two-segment Ni–Fe/Au electrodeposited in the porous silicon template are presented. The templates with ordered and controlled nanometer-sized pores, 40 nm and 290 nm in diameter, were created through porous Si etching. The morphology, composition and structural characteristics of the template and of the single-segment Ni–Fe and Au and two-segment Ni–Fe/Au nanostructures of diameter 275±25 nm, length up to 100 μm and pitch of 1 μm were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques. The micrographs confirm that the plating parameters have a strong influence on morphology and composition of the structures. Further, the Ni–Fe images show the formation of both vertical and branched nanowires along with nanoparticles, from breakage/discontinuous growth of nanowires. Ni–Fe nanostructures were further analyzed for temperature-dependent magnetization and magnetization vs. magnetic field measurements using a commercial physical property measurement system. They reveal no magnetic anisotropy of the nanostructures probably due to a balance between ‘reduced’ shape anisotropy from branched and rough pore surfaces and magnetocrystalline anisotropy.

Fabrication of ZnO nanostructures of various dimensions using patterned substrates

ZnO nanostructures were grown on silicon, porous silicon, ZnO/Si and AlN/Si substrates by low-temperature aqueous synthesis method. The shape of nanostructures greatly depends on the underlying surface. Scattered ZnO nanorods were observed on silicon substrate, whereas aligned ZnO nanowires were obtained by introducing sputtered ZnO film as a seed layer. Furthermore, both the combination of nanorods and the bunch of nanowires were found on porous silicon substrates, whereas platelet-like morphology was observed on AlN/Si substrates. XRD patterns suggest the crystalline nature of aqueous-grown ZnO nanostructures and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy images confirm the single-crystalline growth of the ZnO nanorods along [0 0 1] direction. Room-temperature photoluminescence characterization clearly shows a band-edge luminescence along with a visible luminescence in the yellow spectral range.     

Control of ZnO nanowire arrays by nanosphere lithography (NSL) on laser-produced ZnO substrates

Nanosphere lithography (NSL) is a successful technique for fabricating highly ordered arrays of ZnO nanowires typically on sapphire and GaN substrates. In this work, we investigate the use of thin ZnO films deposited on Si by pulsed laser deposition (PLD) as the substrate. This has a number of advantages over the alternatives above, including cost and potential scalability of production and it removes any issue of inadvertent n-type doping of nanowires by diffusion from the substrate. We demonstrate ordered arrays of ZnO nanowires, on ZnO-coated substrates by PLD, using a conventional NSL technique with gold as the catalyst. The nanowires were produced by vapor phase transport (VPT) growth in a tube furnace system and grew only on the areas pre-patterned by Au. We have also investigated the growth of ZnO nanowires using ZnO catalyst points deposited by PLD through an NSL mask on a bare silicon substrate.     

Ordered Si/Si–O nanowire array and its optical properties

Glancing angle deposition (GLAD) has been employed to fabricate the Si/Si–O nanowires (NWs). The perpendicular NW on silicon substrate shows the amorphous nature. The visible light emission from the NWs was observed from the Si/Si–O nanoparticles. High light absorption inside the Si/Si–O NW structure was recorded.     

Nanoparticle-Coated Silicon Nanowires

The synthesis of silicon nanowires that are densely coated with silicon nanoparticles is reported. These structures were produced in a two-step process, using a method known as hypersonic plasma particle deposition. In the first step, a Ti–Si nanoparticle film was deposited. In the second step the Ti-source was switched off, and nanoparticle-coated nanowires grew under the simultaneous action of Si vapor deposition and bombardment by Si nanoparticles. Total process time, including both steps, equaled 5 min, and resulted in formation of a dense network of randomly oriented nanowires covering1.5 cm² of substrate area. The nanowires are composed of single-crystal Si. The diameters of the nanowires vary over the range 100–800 nm. Each nanowire has a crystalline TiSi₂ catalyst particle, believed to have been solid during nanowire growth, at its tip.

A novel morphology of SiOx nanowires with a modified diameter

A novel morphology of SiO_x (x=1–2) nanowires was fabricated via a thermal evaporation method by heating pure silicon powder at 1373 K followed by depositing silicon vapor on a quartz-glass substrate which was coated with a catalyst precursor from a 0.005 M Fe(NO₃)₃ aqueous solution. At the deposition temperature, the catalyst particles aggregated and formed quasi-plates, from which a short Si rod grew outward on one side and a great deal of SiO_x nanowires projected outward on the other side, forming comet-like objects with long tails. The diameters of the nanowires gradually decreased with an increase in the distance from the catalyst plate.

Horizontal InAs nanowire transistors grown on patterned silicon-on-insulator substrate

High-density horizontal InAs nanowire transistors are fabricated on the interdigital silicon-on-insulator substrate. Hexagonal InAs nanowires are uniformly grown between face-to-face (111) vertical sidewalls of neighboring Si fingers by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition. The density of InAs nanowires is high up to 32 per group of silicon fingers, namely an average of 4 nanowires per micrometer. The electrical characteristics with a higher on/off current ratio of 2×10⁵ are obtained at room temperature. The silicon-based horizontal InAs nanowire transistors are very promising for future high-performance circuits.
