Boron-doped (B-doped) silicon nanowires (SiNWS) have been prepared and characterized by Raman scattering and photoluminescence (PL). B-doped SiNWS were grown by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD), using diborane (B2H6) as the dopant gas. Raman spectra show a band at 480cm-1,which is attributed to amorphous silicon. Photoluminescence at room temperature exhibits three distinct emission peaks at 1.34ev,1.42ev,1.47ev. Possible reason for these is suggested. PACS: 36.40._c; 81.15.Gh; 81.20._n

Silicon nanowires are prepared by the method of the two-step metal-assisted wet chemical etching. We analyzed the structure of solid, rough, and porous nanowire surfaces of boron-doped silicon substrates with resistivities ofρ> 1000 Ωcm,ρ= 14–23 Ωcm, andρ< 0.01 Ωcm by scanning electron microscopy and nitrogen gas adsorption. Silicon nanowires prepared from highly doped silicon reveal mesopores on their surface. However, we found a limit for pore formation. Pores were only formed by etching below a critical H2O2concentration (cH2O2<0.3 M). Furthermore, we determined the pore size distribution dependent on the etching parameters and characterized the morphology of the pores on the nanowire surface. The pores are in the regime of small mesopores with a mean diameter of 9–13 nm. Crystal and surface structure of individual mesoporous nanowires were investigated by transmission electron microscopy. The vibrational properties of nanowire ensembles were investigated by Raman spectroscopy. Heavily boron-doped silicon nanowires are highly porous and the remaining single crystalline silicon nanoscale mesh leads to a redshift and a strong asymmetric line broadening for Raman scattering by optical phonons at 520 cm−1. This redshift,λSi  bulk=520 cm−1  →λSi  nanowire=512 cm−1, hints to a phonon confinement in mesoporous single crystalline silicon nanowires.

Vls Growth

ABSTRACTHigh density boron-doped silicon nanowire arrays were fabricated within the pores of anodized alumina membranes via vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) growth Anodized alumina membranes with a nominal pore diameter of 200 nm served as templates for the sequential electrodeposition of silver, cobalt, and gold which served as the backside electrical contact, ohmic contact metal and catalyst metal for VLS growth, respectively. Boron-doped silicon nanowires were then synthesized within the pores by VLS growth using silane (SiH4) and trimethylboron (TMB) gas sources. Arrays of Al dots were deposited on the top surface of the membrane after nanowire growth. A series of samples was prepared with different SiNW lengths and boron doping levels. Two point probe measurements were used to measure the I-V characteristics of the silicon nanowire arrays before and after annealing. Nanowire resistivity and contact resistance were determined from plots of resistance versus nanowire length. The resistivity of the SiNW was observed to decrease with the addition of TMB during growth.

Electron Transportation

The electron transport properties of the highly boron-doped <110>-Silicon nanowires were investigated by first principle calculation with nonequilibrium Green’s function. We found that the highly doped silicon nanowires become metallic and the conductance drops as the undoped region increases.
