Recently, III-V semiconductor nanowires have been widely explored as promising candidates for high-performance photodetectors due to their one-dimensional morphology, direct and tunable bandgap, as well as unique optical and electrical properties. Here, the recent development of III-V semiconductor-based single nanowire photodetectors for infrared photodetection is reviewed and compared, including material synthesis, representative types (under different operation principles and novel concepts), and device performance, as well as their challenges and future perspectives.

Abstract lexible electronics with high-performance devices is crucial for transformative advances in several emerging and traditional applications. To address this need, herein we present p-type silicon (Si) nanoribbons (NR)-based high-performance field-effect transistors (FETs) developed using innovative Direct Roll Transfer Stamping (DRTS) process. First, ultrathin Si NRs (~70 nm) are obtained from silicon on insulator (SOI) wafers using conventional top-down method, and then DRTS method is employed to directly place the NRs onto flexible substrates at room temperature (RT). The NRFETs are then developed following RT fabrication process which include deposition of high-quality SiNx dielectric. The fabricated p-channel transistors demonstrate high linear mobility ~100±10 cm2/Vs, current on/off ratio >10^4, and low gate leakage (<1nA). Further, the transistors showed robust device performance under mechanical bending and at wide temperature range (15 to 90 °C), showing excellent potential for futuristic high-performance flexible electronic devices/circuits.

AbstractA high performance hollow gold nanoparticles (HGNs) decorated one-dimensional (1-D) Bi2S3nanoribbon (NR) photodetector was fabricated for green light detection (560 nm). The single crystal 1-D Bi2S3NRs with growth orientation along [001] were synthesized by a simple solvothermal approach. Optoelectronic analysis reveals that the performance of the plasmonic photodetector was greatly enhanced after decoration with HGNs. For example, the responsivity increases from 1.4 × 102to 1.09 × 103AW−1, the conductivity gain from 2.68 × 102to 2.31 × 103, and the detectivity from 2.45 × 1012to 2.78 × 1013, respectively. Such performance enhancement was attributed to the localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) effect caused by the HGNs according to both experiment and theoretical simulation. This study is believed to open up new opportunities for managing light and enhancing the device performance of other 1-D semiconductor nanostructures based optoelectronic devices and systems.

AbstractTransistor concepts based on semiconductor nanowires promise high performance, lower energy consumption and better integrability in various platforms in nanoscale dimensions. Concerning the intrinsic transport properties of electrons in nanowires, relatively high mobility values that approach those in bulk crystals have been obtained only in core/shell heterostructures, where electrons are spatially confined inside the core. Here, it is demonstrated that the strain in lattice-mismatched core/shell nanowires can affect the effective mass of electrons in a way that boosts their mobility to distinct levels. Specifically, electrons inside the hydrostatically tensile-strained gallium arsenide core of nanowires with a thick indium aluminium arsenide shell exhibit mobility values 30–50 % higher than in equivalent unstrained nanowires or bulk crystals, as measured at room temperature. With such an enhancement of electron mobility, strained gallium arsenide nanowires emerge as a unique means for the advancement of transistor technology.

ABSTRACTOptimization of the interface between the organic semiconductor (OSC) & the source-drain (S/D) electrode is critical in order to improve organic thin film transistor (OTFT) device performance. This process typically involves coating the metal S/D electrodes with an optimal self-assembled thiol layer; a process that requires pristine metal surfaces for successful treatment. Obtaining contamination free surfaces can be challenging in the case of printed metal electrodes. Here we demonstrate an effective strategy to address this issue by introducing a brief low power forming gas plasma treatment prior to the surface coating step. We show a two orders of magnitude decrease in the contact resistance as a result of this treatment.

AbstractStar-shaped arylacetylene resins, tris(3-ethynyl-phenylethynyl)methylsilane, tris(3-ethynyl-phenylethynyl) phenylsilane, and tris (3-ethynyl-phenylethynyl) silane (TEPHS), were synthesized through Grignard reaction between 1,3-diethynylbenzene and three types of trichlorinated silanes. The chemical structures and properties of the resins were characterized by means of nuclear magnetic resonance, fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, Haake torque rheomoter, differential scanning calorimetry, dynamic mechanical analysis, mechanical test, and thermogravimetric analysis. The results show that the melt viscosity at 120 °C is lower than 150 mPa⋅s, and the processing windows are as wide as 60 °C for the resins. The resins cure at the temperature as low as 150 °C. The good processabilities make the resins to be suitable for resin transfer molding. The cured resins exhibit high flexural modulus and excellent heat-resistance. The flexural modulus of the cured TEPHS at room temperature arrives at as high as 10.9 GPa. Its temperature of 5% weight loss (Td5) is up to 697 °C in nitrogen. The resins show the potential for application in fiber-reinforced composites as high-performance resin in the field of aviation and aerospace.
