研究目的
To fabricate densely packed InAs fins for nanoelectronic applications by growing high crystalline quality GaSb/InAs layers directly on nominal (001)-Si substrate and processing them using block copolymer lithography.
研究成果
High crystalline quality GaSb/InAs layers were successfully grown on Si substrate, with GaAs islands at the interface aiding dislocation management. Low-temperature InAs growth prevented interfacial melting. Block copolymer lithography enabled the creation of 15 nm wide InAs fins with vertical sidewalls. Early electrical measurements showed current flow, indicating potential for nanoelectronic applications, but further characterization is needed to confirm performance.
研究不足
Uncertainties remain about the actual number and size of the fins due to collapse during preparation; conduction in InAs fins is assumed and needs confirmation; interdiffusion at interfaces is not fully characterized; PS redeposition on sidewalls may affect device performance.
