研究目的
Investigating the fabrication of high-density vertical GaAs nanowire arrays on n-type Si (111) substrates through substrate processing engineering using molecular beam epitaxy.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated a substrate processing engineering method to fabricate high-density vertical GaAs NW arrays on Si (111) substrates using MBE. The optimal BOE concentration (1:10) resulted in NW arrays with 93.3% verticality and a density of 290×106 cm-2. This method offers a simple and cost-effective alternative to traditional lithography techniques for large-area NW array fabrication.
研究不足
The study is limited by the specific conditions of MBE growth and substrate processing, which may not be directly applicable to other growth methods or substrate types. The optimization of BOE concentration is crucial and may vary for different experimental setups.
1：Experimental Design and Method Selection:
The growth of GaAs NWs was carried out on n-type Si (111) substrate by MBE, focusing on the effect of substrate pretreatment on the vertical epitaxial growth of NWs.
2：Sample Selection and Data Sources:
Si (111) substrates were used, with systematic experiments to explore the impact of diluted buffered oxide etch (BOE) on NW density and verticality.
3：List of Experimental Equipment and Materials:
MBE system (DCA P600), FE-SEM (HITACHI S-4800), and various concentrations of BOE solution.
4：Experimental Procedures and Operational Workflow:
Substrates underwent degassing, etching with BOE, ultrasonic cleaning, and GaAs NW growth under controlled conditions.
5：Data Analysis Methods:
Morphology of GaAs NWs was characterized by FE-SEM to assess density, verticality, height, and diameter.
