  • Size control of InP nanowires by in situ annealing and its application to the formation of InAsP quantum dots
    Masahiro Sasaki, Tomoya Akamatsu, Katsuhiro Tomioka, Junichi Motohisa
    Nanotechnology, 35, 19, 195604, 195604, IOP Publishing, 20 Feb. 2024
    Scientific journal, Abstract

    We carried out in situ annealing of InP nanowires (NWs) in a metal-organic vapor phase epitaxial (MOVPE) growth reactor to control and reduce the tip size of InP NWs. InP NWs were grown by selective-area (SA) MOVPE on partially masked (111)A InP substrates, and annealing was successively applied in tertiarybutylphosphine (TBP) ambient. Initially, the InP NWs had a hexagonal cross-section with $\{11\bar{2}\}$ facets vertical to the substrates; they became tapered, and the edges were rounded by annealing. By appropriately selecting the annealing temperature and initial NW diameter, the tip size of the NW was reduced and NWs with a tip size of 20 nm were successfully formed. Subsequently, a thin InAsP layer was grown on the annealed NWs and their photoluminescence was investigated at low temperatures. The characterization results indicated the formation of InAsP quantum dots (QDs) emitting in the telecom band. Our approach is useful for reducing the size of the NWs and for the controlled formation of InAsP QDs embedded in InP NWs in photonic devices compatible with telecom bands.
  • Characterization of nanowire light-emitting diodes with InP/InAsP heterostructures emitting in telecom band
    Junichi Motohisa, Akamatsu Tomoya, Okamoto Manami, Tomioka Katsuhiro
    Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 63, 3, 03SP08, 03SP08, IOP Publishing, 08 Feb. 2024
    Scientific journal, Abstract

    We report the growth and characterization of InP/InAsP/InP nanowires (NWs) and NW LEDs (NW-LEDs), which emit light at telecom wavelengths. InP-based NWs were grown by selective-area metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy, and a thin InAsP layer was embedded in the NWs. The NW exhibited emission lines in their low-temperature photoluminescence spectra, suggesting the formation of quantum dots (QDs) in the NW. NW-LED operation was demonstrated at both room and low temperatures in the telecom band, but it was found that the emission wavelength range and blueshift behavior induced by current injection differed considerably between room and low temperatures. Our results suggest that an efficient path for carrier injection into the active InAsP layer should be explored for NW-QD-based single-photon sources operating via current-injection.

    Scientific journal, Nanometer‐scaled light sources using III–V compound semiconductor nanowires (NWs) on Si are expected as building blocks for next‐generation Si photonics, bioimaging, on‐chip microscopy, and light detection and ranging (LiDAR) techniques. This is, however, limited in a few materials systems due to complexity in integration of the vertical III–V NWs on Si and device process flow. Suppressing optical loss in the NW materials beyond the optical diffraction remains difficult in enhancing light extraction. Herein, the effect of the vertical metal‐clad architectures for the vertical nano‐light‐emitting diodes (LEDs) using GaAs/GaAsP‐related core–multishell NWs heterogeneously integrated on Si is investigated. The grown core–multishell NW is composed of a radial n‐GaAs/n‐GaAsP/p‐GaAs/p‐GaAsP double heterostructure. The vertical metal‐clad NW‐LEDs show suppression of carrier overflow effect and rapid enhancement of electrical luminescence.
  • Current injection and luminescence properties of wurtzite InP nanowires with crystal phase transition
    Yuki Azuma, Shun Kimura, Hironori Gamo, Junichi Motohisa, Katsuhiro Tomioka
    Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 62, SC, SC1011, SC1011, IOP Publishing, 30 Dec. 2022, [Peer-reviewed]
    Scientific journal, Abstract

    We characterized the current injection and electroluminescence (EL) properties of wurtzite (WZ) InP nanowire (NW) light-emitting diodes (LEDs) with axial junctions. The EL spectra of two samples with the same LED junction structure exhibited two different behaviors. One showed a single EL peak originating from the zinc-blende (ZB)-InP bandgap. The other showed two EL peaks originating from the ZB and WZ phases. This difference in EL behavior is attributed to the difference in the contact position and to depletion layer spreading. Clarification of the origin of the different EL peaks is important for optimizing the NW-LED structure.

  • Creation of unexplored tunnel junction by heterogeneous integration of InGaAs nanowires on germanium

    Scientific Reports, 12, 1, Springer Science and Business Media LLC, Dec. 2021, [Peer-reviewed], [Corresponding author]
    Scientific journal, AbstractHeteroepitaxy has inherent concerns regarding crystal defects originated from differences in lattice constant, thermal expansion coefficient, and crystal structure. The selection of III–V materials on group IV materials that can avoid these issues has however been limited for applications such as photonics, electronics, and photovoltaics. Here, we studied nanometer-scale direct integration of InGaAs nanowires (NWs) on Ge in terms of heterogenous integration and creation of functional materials with an as yet unexplored heterostructure. We revealed that changing the initial Ge into a (111)B-polar surce anabled vertical InGaAs NWs to be integrated for all In compositions examined. Moreover, the growth naturally formed a tunnel junction across the InGaAs/Ge interface that showed a rectification property with a huge current density of several kAcm−2 and negative differential resistance with a peak-to-valley current ratio of 2.8. The described approach expands the range of material combinations for high-performance transistors, tandem solar cells, and three-dimensional integrations.

    English, Scientific journal, Composition controllability of vertical InGaAs nanowires (NWs) on Si integrated by selective area growth was characterized for Si photonics in the optical telecommunication bands. The pitch of pre-patterned holes (NW sites) changed to an In/Ga alloy-composition in the solid phase during the NW growth. The In composition with a nanometer-scaled pitch differed completely from that with a mu m-scaled pitch. Accordingly, the growth morphologies of InGaAs NWs show different behavior with respect to the In/Ga ratio. (c) 2017 Author(s).

    Novel Compound Semiconductor Nanowires: Materials, Devices, and Applications, 465, 516, Pan Stanford Publishing Pte. Ltd., 01 Jan. 2017
    English, In book, III-V nanowires (NWs) are promising building blocks for future electronic and optical devices because they have the advantage of having a core-shell structure that can be used to build threedimensional (3D) devices not limited to being thin films. Position-and size-controlled NWs are very important for exploiting these benefits. In this chapter, we report on selective-area growth of III-V NWs and recent progress on NW-based transistor and photovoltaic devices.

  • Growth and characterization of wurtzite InP/AlGaP core–multishell nanowires with AlGaP quantum well structures

    Jpn. J. Appl. Phys., 56, 1, 010311, 10311, Institute of Physics, Dec. 2016, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, We report on the selective-area growth and characterization of wurtzite (WZ) InP/AlGaP core–multishell nanowires. Quantum well (QW) structures were fabricated in AlGaP multishells by changing the alloy composition. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the AlGaP multishells were grown with a WZ structure on the side of the WZ InP core. The lattice constants of the WZ InP core and WZ AlGaP shell were determined by X-ray diffraction. Cathodoluminescence studies showed that the WZ AlGaP QW with an Al composition of 20% exhibited green emissions at 2.37 eV. These results open the possibility of fabricating green light-emitting diodes using WZ AlGaP-based materials.

    ECS Transaction, 75, 5, 127, 134, The Electrochemical Society (ECS), Sep. 2016, [Peer-reviewed], [Invited]
    English, International conference proceedings, Tunnel field-effect transistors (TFETs) with a steep subthreshold-slope (SS) are promising low-power switches for future large-scale integrated circuits (LSIs) with low power consumption and high performance. Recently, we demonstrated vertical TFETs with III-V/Si heterojunctions. This new sort of tunnel junction achieves a steep SS because of its unique figure-of-merit. Here, we report on recent progress on vertical TFETs using Si/III-V heterojunctions and means for boosting on-state current.
  • Selective-Area Growth of Vertical InGaAs Nanowires on Ge for Transistor Applications

    ECS Transaction, 75, 7, 265, 270, The Electrochemical Society (ECS), Sep. 2016, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, International conference proceedings, III-V compound semiconductors and Ge are promising futurechannel materials because of their high carrier mobility. Forexample the electron mobility of InAs is about 20 times faster thanthat of Si at room temperature and hole mobility of Ge is about 5times faster than that of Si. In this paper, we report directintegration of InGaAs nanowires (NWs) on Ge(111) substrate byselective-area metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (SA-MOVPE) forrealization of high carrier mobility InGaAs/Ge hybrid CMOSapplications, and characterization of the composition and growthmodes of InGaAs NWs by X-ray diffraction (XRD) measurement.
  • Crystal phase transition to green emission wurtzite AlInP by crystal structure transfer

    Applied Physics Express, 9, 3, 035502-1, 4, Institute of Physics, Feb. 2016, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, We grew AlInP on two types of GaN substrate in order to transfer the wurtzite (WZ) structure to grown layers. An AlInP epitaxial layer grown on GaN[Formula: see text] with high-density stacking faults was obtained. X-ray diffraction and Raman scattering analyses indicate that the dominant crystal structure of the AlInP layer grown on GaN[Formula: see text] was WZ. Cathode luminescence measurements at 35 K revealed strong green emissions from the WZ AlInP layer, suggesting an energy band gap change from indirect to direct. These results demonstrate the potential of WZ AlInP as a new candidate for high-efficiency green emission material.

    2016 46TH EUROPEAN SOLID-STATE DEVICE RESEARCH CONFERENCE (ESSDERC), 397, 402, IEEE, 2016, [Peer-reviewed], [Invited]
    English, International conference proceedings, Tunnel FETs (TFETs) with steep subthreshold slope have been attracting much attention as building blocks for future low-power integrated circuits and CMOS technology devices. Here we report on recent advances in vertical TFETs using III-V/Si heterojunctions. These heterojunctions, which are formed by direct integration of III-V nanowires (NWs) on Si, are promising tunnel junction for achieving steep subthreshold slope (SS). The III-V/Si heterojunction inherently forms abrupt junctions regardless of precise doping technique because the band discontinuity is determined by only the offset of III-V and Si, and depletion region can be controlled by the III-V MOS structure. Thus, good gate-electrostatic control with a large internal electrical field for modulation of tunnel transport can be achieved. Here we repot on recent advances in the vertical TFETs using the III-V NW/Si heterojunction with surrounding-gate architecture and demonstrate steep-SS behavior and very low parasitic leakage current.

  • Growth of wurtzite GaP in InP/GaP core-shell nanowires by selective-area MOVPE
    Ishizaka Fumiya, Hiraya Yoshihiro, Tomioka Katsuhiro, Fukui Takashi
    Journal of crystal growth, 411, 71, 75, Elsevier, Feb. 2015, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, A GaP nanowire is promising from the viewpoint of device applications because when its crystal phase is changed from zinc blende (ZB) to wurtzite (WZ), its band gap changes from indirect to direct. GaP in the WZ phase is theoretically and experimentally shown to have the possibility of "green" emission. Here we report on the growth of WZ GaP in InP/GaP core-shell nanowires by selective-area metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy (SA-MOVPE). WZ InP nanowires were used as a template for transferring the WZ structure to GaP. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that WZ GaP was grown on the sidewalls of the InP core in the lateral <-2 1 1 > direction and that ZB GaP was grown on the top of the le core in the axial < 1 1 1 > A direction. A growth model for the different crystal structures of the GaP shell is proposed from the viewpoint of the growth direction. The WZ structure is "transferred" from the InP core to the GaP shell only when GaP grows in the direction perpendicular to the WZ stacking direction of the InP core. This so-called "crystal structure transfer" can also be applied to p- and n-doped GaP and is therefore promising for fabricating WZ-GaP-basecl light-emitting diodes. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V.

  • Application of free-standing InP nanowire arrays and their optical properties for resource-saving solar cells
    Chen Muyi, Nakai Eiji, Tomioka Katsuhiro, Fukui Takashi
    Appl. Phys. Express, 8, 1, 012301, 12301, Institute of Physics, Jan. 2015, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, III–V compound semiconductor nanowire (NW) arrays have exhibited remarkable behavior in photovoltaic applications. We embedded an orderly vertical InP NW array in poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) and peeled it off from the substrate to form a AuZn contact. The sample with the substrate exhibited a very high average absorptance of 92%. However, when the array was peeled off, the optical absorptance degraded, particularly in the longer-wavelength region. After the AuZn was deposited on the back side of the NW array, the absorptance increased. This technology could enable a new approach for NW-based photovoltaics with a lower fabrication cost.
  • InGaAs axial-junction nanowire-array solar cells

    Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 54, 1, 015201, 015201, IOP Publishing, 01 Jan. 2015, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, Axial p–i–n junction nanowire (NW) solar cells (SCs) with a position-controlled GaAs-based NW array were fabricated by selective-area metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (SA-MOVPE). The measured electron-beam-induced current (EBIC) signals showed the formation of an axial p–i–n junction, which confirms power generation under sunlight illumination. The series resistance of the NW SCs is much higher than that of conventional planar SCs based on Si or other III–V compound semiconductors. The main difficulty concerning the fabrication of these NW SCs is the degradation of series resistance between the GaAs-based NWs and the indium–tin oxide (ITO) deposited as a transparent electrode. The series resistance of the fabricated GaAs-based NW SCs was reduced by introducing a tin doping contact layer between the ITO and the NW array, which is formed by pulse doping. As a result of this improved structure, the fabricated SCs exhibited an open-circuit voltage of 0.544 V, a short-circuit current of 18.2 mA/cm2, and a fill factor of 0.721 for an overall conversion efficiency of 7.14% under AM1.5G illumination. The series resistance of the SCs could be decreased to 0.132 Ω·cm2, which is one order of magnitude lower than that of the SC without a highly doped contact layer. This reduced series resistance indicates that nanostructure SCs with transparent electrodes and multijunction NW SCs with high efficiencies can be fabricated on a commercial basis in the near future.

  • Recent progress in integration of III-V nanowire transistors on Si substrate by selective-area growth
    Katsuhiro Tomioka, Takashi Fukui
    JOURNAL OF PHYSICS D-APPLIED PHYSICS, 47, 39, 364001, IOP PUBLISHING LTD, Oct. 2014, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, We report on the recent progress in electronic applications using III-V nanowires (NWs) on Si substrates using the selective-area growth method. This method could align vertical III-V NWs on Si under specific growth conditions. Detailed studies of the III-V NW/Si heterointerface showed the possibility of achieving coherent growth regardless of misfit dislocations in the III-V/Si heterojunction. The vertical III-V NWs grown using selective-area growth were utilized for high performance vertical field-effect transistors (FETs). Furthermore, III-V NW/Si heterointerfaces with fewer misfit dislocations provided us with a unique band discontinuity with a new functionality that can be used for the application of tunnel diodes and tunnel FETs. These demonstrations could open the door to a new approach for creating low power switches using III-V NWs as building-blocks of future nanometre-scaled electronic circuits on Si platforms.

    English, Scientific journal, We report on a fabrication of tunnel field-effect transistors using InGaAs nanowire/Si heterojunctions and the characterization of scaling of channel lengths. The devices consisted of single InGaAs nanowires with a diameter of 30 nm grown on p-type Si(111) substrates. The switch demonstrated steep subthreshold-slope (30 mV/decade) at drain-source voltage (V-DS) of 0.10 V. Also, pinch-off behavior appeared at moderately low VDS, below 0.10 V. Reducing the channel length of the transistors attained a steep subthreshold slope (< 60 mV/decade) and enhanced the drain current, which was 100 higher than that of the longer channels.

    JAPANESE JOURNAL OF APPLIED PHYSICS, 52, 5, UNSP 055002, 055002-4, The Japan Society of Applied Physics, May 2013, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, Semiconductor nanowires (NWs) are good candidate for light-absorbing material in next generation photovoltaic and III--V NW-based multi-heterojunction solar cells using lattice-mismatched material system are expected as high energy-conversion efficiencies under concentrated light. Here we demonstrate core--shell GaAs NW arrays by using catalyst-free selective-area metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (SA-MOVPE) as a basis for multijunction solar cells. The reflectance of the NW array without any anti-reflection coating showed much lower reflection than that of a planar wafer. Next we then fabricated core--shell GaAs NW array solar cells with radial p--n junction. Despite the low reflectance, the energy-conversion efficiency was 0.71% since a high surface recombination rate of photo-generated carriers and poor ohmic contact between the GaAs and transparent indium--tin-oxide (ITO) electrode. To avoid these degradations, we introduced an InGaP layer and a Ti/ITO electrode. As a result, we obtained a short-circuit current of 12.7 mA cm-2, an open-circuit voltage of 0.5 V, and a fill factor of 0.65 for an overall efficiency of 4.01%.

    Applied Physics Express, 6, 5, 052301, 052301-4, The Japan Society of Applied Physics, May 2013, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, We report surface-passivated core--shell InP nanowire array solar cells fabricated using catalyst-free selective-area metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. Reflectance measurements confirm enhanced light absorption due to significantly reduced reflectance over a wide spectral range. The wide-band-gap outer shell layer of core-multishell nanowires effectively passivates the large surface area of the nanowires, increasing the short-circuit current density and elevating the energy conversion efficiency by 6.35% under AM1.5G illumination. This passivation technique could open a new approach to nanowire-based photovoltaics with higher energy efficiency.

  • Indium-Rich InGaP Nanowires Formed on InP (111)A Substrates by Selective-Area Metal Organic Vapor Phase Epitaxy
    F. Ishizaka, K. Ikejiri, K.Tomioka, T. Fukui
    Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 52, 4, UNSP 04CH05, 04CH05-4, The Japan Society of Applied Physics, Apr. 2013, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, International conference proceedings, We studied the growth of indium-rich InGaP nanowires (NWs) on InP (111)A substrates by selective-area metal organic vapor phase epitaxy (SA-MOVPE). We obtained vertically aligned InGaP NWs by optimizing growth conditions, such as group III supply ratio and V/III ratio. We found that the height, diameter, shape, and composition of InGaP NWs depended significantly on the supply ratios of trimethylgallium (TMGa) and trimethylindium (TMIn). As the supply ratio of TMGa was increased, the lateral growth was drastically enhanced, and the uniformity of NWs deteriorated. Furthermore, the sidewall facets of NWs changed from \{\bar{2}11\} to \{\bar{1}10\} as the supply ratio of TMGa was increased, indicating the possibility of structural transition from wurtzite (WZ) to zinc blende (ZB). We propose a possible growth model for such lateral growth, uniformity, and structural transition. Photoluminescence (PL) measurements revealed that the Ga compositions ranged approximately from 0 to 15%. Our results show that highly uniform InGaP NWs can be grown by controlling the growth conditions.
  • GaAs nanowire growth on polycrystalline silicon thin films using selective-area MOVPE
    Keitaro Ikejiri, Fumiya Ishizaka, Katsuhiro Tomioka, Takashi Fukui
    Nanotechnology, 24, 11, 115304, IOP Publishing, Mar. 2013, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, The growth mechanism of GaAs nanowires (NWs) grown on polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) thin films using selective-area metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy was investigated. Wire structures were selectively grown in the mask openings on a poly-Si substrate. The appearance ratio of wire structures strongly depended on the growth conditions and deposition temperature of the poly-Si substrate. Evaluation of the grown shapes and growth characteristics revealed that GaAs NWs grown on a poly-Si substrate have the same growth mechanism as conventional GaAs NWs grown on a single-crystalline GaAs or Si substrate. Experiments showed that the wire structure yield can be improved by increasing the Si grain size and/or increasing the Si deposition temperature. The growth model proposed for understanding NW growth on poly-Si is based on the mask opening size, the Si grain size, and the growth conditions. The ability to control the growth mode is promising for the formation of NWs with complex structures on poly-Si thin layers.

By comparison with simulations, we identify GHz resonances, mode shapes, and damping. In addition, by varying the pillar diameter, height, and pitch, we distinguish collective and localized modes. A proper understanding of substrate-attached nanostructure dynamics will lead to better characterization of nanosensors based on perturbations to vibrational resonances.

    English, Scientific journal, We have investigated the optical properties of a single InAsP quantum dot embedded in a standing InP nanowire. Elongation of the transverse exciton-spin relaxation time of the exciton state with decreasing excitation power was observed by first-order photon correlation measurements. This behavior is well explained by the motional narrowing mechanism induced by Gaussian fluctuations of environmental charges in the nanowire. The longitudinal exciton-spin relaxation time is evaluated by the degree of the random polarization of emission originating from exciton states confined in a single-nanowire quantum dot by using Mueller calculus based on Stokes parameters representation. The reduction in the random polarization component with decreasing excitation power is caused by suppression of the exchange interaction of electron and hole due to an optically induced internal electric field by the dipoles at the wurtzite and zinc-blende heterointerfaces in the InP nanowire.

    JOURNAL OF CRYSTAL GROWTH, 338, 1, 47, 51, ELSEVIER SCIENCE BV, Jan. 2012, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, Indium-rich InGaAs nanowires were grown on an InP (111)B substrate by catalyst-free selective-area metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy, and the growth-temperature dependence of growth rate and composition was studied. In particular, nanowire growth rate rapidly decreases as growth temperature increases. This tendency is opposite (for a similar temperature range) to that found in a previous study on selective-area growth of gallium-rich InGaAs nanowires. This difference between indium-rich and gallium-rich nanowires suggests that the influence of growth temperature on the growth of InGaAs nanowires is dependent on the group-III supply ratio. On the basis of previous experimental observations in InAs and GaAs nanowires, temperature dependence of nanowire growth rate and its dependence on group-III supply ratio are predicted. A guideline to determine the optimum growth conditions of InGaAs nanowires is also discussed. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

    English, Scientific journal, The fabrication of GaAs- and InP-based III-V semiconductor nanowires with axial/radial heterostructures by using selective-area metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy is reviewed. Nanowires, with a diameter of 50-300nm and with a length of up to 10μm, have been grown along the «111» B or «111» A crystallographic orientation from lithography-defined SiO2 mask openings on a group III-V semiconductor substrate surface. An InGaAs quantum well (QW) in GaAs/InGaAs nanowires and a GaAs QW in GaAs/AlGaAs or GaAs/GaAsP nanowires have been fabricated for the axial heterostructures to investigate photoluminescence spectra from QWs with various thicknesses. Transmission electron microscopy combined with energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy measurements have been used to analyze the crystal structure and the atomic composition profile for the nanowires. GaAs/AlGaAs, InP/InAs/InP, and GaAs/GaAsP core-shell structures have been found to be effective for the radial heterostructures to increase photoluminescence intensity and have enabled laser emissions from a single GaAs/GaAsP nanowire waveguide. The results have indicated that the core-shell structure is indispensable for surface passivation and practical use of nanowire optoelectronics devices. Copyright © 2012 K. Hiruma et al.

    English, In book, We describe the growth and optical properties of III-V semiconductor nanowires and their application to nanoscale photonic devices such as Fabry-Perot cavity, waveguides, optically-pumped lasers, and lightemitting diodes. The nanowires were grown by selective-area metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (SA-MOVPE) on the (111) oriented substrates. Nanowires containing heterostructures in their radial direction, that is, core-shell heterostructures, have also been realized by controlling the growth mode during SA-MOVPE. The nanowires were characterized by micro-photoluminescence measurements and those detached from the grown substrate showed resonant peaks associated with Fabry-Perot cavity modes. It was simultaneously shown that core-shell hetereostructured nanowires exhibited stronger photoluminescence than bare nanowires due to reduced surface non-radiative recombination. Furthermore, core-shell nanowires exhibited lasing oscillation originating from the cavity formed by both end facets at pulsed-laser excitation.

    2011 IEEE INTERNATIONAL ELECTRON DEVICES MEETING (IEDM), 773, 776, IEEE, 2011, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, International conference proceedings, In this paper, direct integration of vertical InGaAs nanowires (NWs) on Si substrate without buffering techniques, and fabrication of InGaAs NW surrounding-gate transistors (SGTs) with high-k gate dielectrics is reported for the first time. Furthermore, we investigated a passivation technique using InGaAs/InP/InAlAs/InGaAs core-multishell (CMS) structure, and showed enhancement of transconductance (G(m)) and I-ON/I-OFF ratio of the InGaAs CMS NW-SGT. The peak G(m) for the InGaAs-related CMS NW-SGT was 500 mu S/mu m at V-DS of 1.00V, and I-ON/I-OFF ratio was similar to 10(9).

    English, Scientific journal, We report the experimental demonstration of single-photon and cascaded photon pair emission in the infrared, originating from a single InAsP quantum dot embedded in a standing InP nanowire. A regular array of nanowires is fabricated by epitaxial growth on an electron-beam patterned substrate. Photoluminescence spectra taken on single quantum dots show narrow emission lines. Superconducting single photon detectors, which have a higher sensitivity than avalanche photodiodes in the infrared, enable us to measure auto and cross correlations. Clear antibunching is observed [g((2))(0) = 0.12] and we show a biexciton-exciton cascade, which can be used to create entangled photon pairs. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.

    Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 49, 4, 04DH08-1, 04DH08-4, The Japan Society of Applied Physics, Apr. 2010, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, We fabricated InGaAs nanowires (NWs) in SiO2 mask openings on a GaAs(111)B substrate at growth temperatures of 600–700 °C using catalyst-free selective-area metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. At a growth temperature of 600 °C, particle-like depositions occurred, but they decreased in number and density when the growth temperature was increased to 650 °C and disappeared above 675 °C. The heights and growth rates of the NWs increased when the growth temperature was increased and the mask opening diameter was decreased from 300 to 50 nm. Photoluminescence (PL) spectra measured for the NWs indicated a blue shift in the peak from 0.95 to 1.3 eV as the growth temperature was increased from 600 to 700 °C, indicating an increase in the Ga composition from 62 to 88% in the InGaAs NWs.

    English, Scientific journal, We report on the fabrication and characterization of vertical InAs nanowire channel field effect transistors (FETs) with high-$k$/metal gate-all-around structures. Single InAs nanowires were grown on Si substrates by the selective-area metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy method. The resultant devices exhibited n-channel FET characteristics with a threshold voltage of around $-0.1$ V. The best device exhibited maximum drain current ($I_{\text{DS,max } }/w_{\text{G } }$), maximum transconductance ($g_{\text{m,max } }/w_{\text{G } }$), on--off ratio ($I_{\text{ON/OFF } }$), subthreshold slope ($\mathit{SS}$) of 83 μA/μm, 83 μS/μm, $10^{4}$, and 320 mV/decade, respectively, for a nanowire diameter of 100 nm.

    English, International conference proceedings, We grew InAsP and InP/InAsP/InP heterostructure NWs (NWs) by selective-area MOVPE and carried out micro-photoluminescence (mu-PL) measurement. We investigated growth conditions for InAsP NWs and that embedded in InP NWs, and obtained exciton and biexciton emissions from InAsP QDs at optimized growth conditions. Negative binding energy of biexciton was observed due to the strong Coulomb interaction between the holes in the QDs.

    iiWAS2010 - 12th International Conference on Information Integration and Web-Based Applications and Services, 871, 874, ACM, 2010, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, International conference proceedings, We are developing a framework for knowledge creation in nanodevice development, based on collaboration between nanodevice engineers and computer science researchers. Development of nanodevices requires a variety of knowledge
    some of this knowledge is tacit, based on the user's experience. Therefore, it is difficult to become a good engineer in this development process. We propose the concept of "Evidence-based experiment planning" and develop a process for supporting experiment planning in nanodevice development. This system applies knowledge discovery techniques to records of previous experiments to extract experienced engineers' tacit knowledge. Copyright 2010 ACM.

    Applied Physics Express, 2, 3, 035004-1, 035004-3, The Japan Society of Applied Physics, Feb. 2009, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, We report on the formation of core--shell pn junction InP nanowires using a catalyst-free selective-area metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy (SA-MOVPE) method. A periodically aligned dense core--shell InP nanowire array was fabricated and used in photovoltaic device applications. The device exhibited open-circuit voltage ($V_{\text{OC } }$), short-circuit current ($I_{\text{SC } }$) and fill factor (FF) levels of 0.43 V, 13.72 mA/cm2 and 0.57, respectively, which indicated a solar power conversion efficiency of 3.37% under AM1.5G illumination. This study demonstrates that high quality core--shell structure nanowire fabrication is possible by SA-MOVPE and that the nanowire arrays can be used in integrated nanowire photovoltaic devices.

    English, International conference proceedings, We report optical properties of InP/InAsP/InP nanowire quantum dots and single-photon Fourier spectroscopy of an exciton in a single InAsP quantum dot embedded in an InP nanowire. The coherent length of the time-averaged emission originating from the single InAsP QD was measured by a Mach-Zehnder interferometer inserted in the photoluminescence path. Effects of fluctuations in surrounding excess charges trapped in the InP nanowire were investigated by excitation power and energy dependencies.

    Japanese, Scientific journal, We report on the growth of III-V compound semiconductor nanowires by selective-area MOVPE. Position-controlled growth of GaAs nanowire, and InP/InAs/InP core-multi shell nanowires are reviewed. The nanowires are oriented to <111>B or <111>A directions and they have hexagonal cross-section surrounded with {1-10} vertical side facets and (111)B or A top surface. Also, we can control the growth direction to axial or radial by changing the growth parameters. InP/InAs/InP core-multi shell nanowires whose well thickness is of several monolayers are fabricated by using this method. We also review on the growth of vertical GaAs nanowires on Si substrate and fabrication of InGaAs nanowire-FETs.

    Japanese Journal of Applied Physics, 46, 11, 7562, 7568, INSTITUTE OF PURE AND APPLIED PHYSICS, Nov. 2007, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, Single InGaAs nanowire-top-gate metal–semiconductor field-effect transistors (MESFETs) were fabricated and characterized. Silicon-doped n-InGaAs nanowires (with a typical diameter of 100 nm) were grown by catalyst-free selective-area metal–organic vapor-phase epitaxy (SA-MOVPE). The FETs of single nanowires on SiO2-coated Si substrates were fabricated by defining metal contacts at both ends of the nanowires and the metal top gate between contacts. According to the measurements of drain current–voltage and gate transfer characteristics, the top-gate MESFETs exhibited significant enhancements in device performance characteristics compared with FETs under back-gate operation; that is, a peak transconductance of 33 mS/mm and a current on–off ratio of $10^{3}$ were obtained. A possibility for further improvements in FET characteristics was also considered.

    English, Crystallographic structure of InAs nanowires, which were grown by selective-area metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy on (111)B-oriented substrates, was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The TEM images showed that the nanowires had many stacking faults along the growth direction. Statistical analysis of the atomic-layer stacking showed that InAs nanowires contained both zincblende and wurtzite crystal phases, whose transition took place in every one to three monolayers. This specific crystal phase transition resulted in peculiar electron diffraction patterns. The stacking of the atomic layers had no distinct correlation with the diameter of the nanowires.

    Journal of Applied Physics, 100, 3, 014301-1, 014301-5, American Institute of Physics, Jul. 2006, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, Stable ultraviolet (UV) photoluminescence (PL) has been observed at room temperature in poroussilicon (PSi) fabricated by photoetching in aqueous alkali fluoride solutions. The aqueous solutionsused are 1 M NaF and 1 M KF.They give an alkaline reaction caused by partial hydrolysis. The PLpeaks at ~3.3 eV have a full width at half maximum of ~0.1 eV, which is much smaller than thosereported previously (?0.5 eV). Spectral analyses suggest that both quantum confinement andsurface passivation effects enable the observation of UV emission in NaF- and KF-prepared PSisamples.

    English, International conference proceedings, Hexagonal nano-pillars with single InGaAs/GaAs quantum well (QW) were fabricated successfully on the GaAs (111)B substrate by selective-area metal organic vapor phase epitaxy. The uniformity of the fabricated hexagonal nano-pillars with single InGaAs/GaAs QW is good. The emission wavelength of the hexagonal nano-pillars with single InGaAs/GaAs QW is located at about 960 nm at the room temperature. With decreasing the temperature, the peak position shifts to the shorter wavelength, peak intensity increases and the peak width decreases. © 2006 Crown Copyright.
  • Strong and stable ultraviolet emission from porous silicon prepared by photoetching in KF solution

    Applied Physics Letters, 87, 25, 251920-1, 251920-3, American Institute of Physics, Dec. 2005, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, A new method of fabricating porous silicon emitting in the ultraviolet (UV) spectral region ispresented. This method uses photoetching in an aqueous salt (KF) solution. Strong UVphotoluminescence is observed at ~3.3 eV with a full width at a half maximum of ~0.1 eV, whichis much narrower than those reported previously. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy suggeststhat the surface oxide produced during photoetching plays an important role in the UV emission ofthe KF-prepared PSi.
  • Structural and photoluminescence properties of porous GaP formed by electrochemical etching

    Journal of Applied Physics, 98, 7, 073551-1, 073551-7, American Institute of Physics, Oct. 2005, [Peer-reviewed]
    English, Scientific journal, The structural and optical properties of porous GaP have been studied by scanning electronmicroscopy, spectroscopic ellipsometry, and photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy. Porous GaPlayers were fabricated by anodic etching in HF:H2O:C2H5OH=1:1:2 electrolyte on n-type (100)and (111)A substrates. The morphology of the porous GaP layer is found to depend strongly on thesurface orientation. Apart from the red emission band at ~1.7 eV, a supra-band-gap (EgX) emissionhas been clearly observed on the porous GaP (111)A sample. The anodic porous layer on the (100)substrate, on the other hand, has shown only the red emission at 300 K and both red and greendonor-acceptor pair emissions at low temperatures. The correlation between the PL properties andthe porous morphology is discussed. An optical transition model is also proposed for the explanationof the PL emission properties of the porous GaP samples.

    GaAs and InAs nanowires were selectively grown by using metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy. The nanowires were as thin as several tens to several hundreds nanometers and as long as several micronmeters. Scanning electron microscope observations showed that the growth direction of nanowires was parallel to the <111> B crystallographic orientation. It was found by a transmission electron microscopy analysis that the crystal structure of the GaAs nanowire was zincblende with rotational twins around the <111> axis. For the GaAs nanowires, the density of twins along the <111> direction increased as the nanowire diameter decreased. The growth mechanism was understood based upon a model that the GaAs nanowire was composed of stacked thin-layers with interfaces containing rotational twins., The Japanese Association for Crystal Growth (JACG), Japanese

    現行の平面型金属・酸化膜・半導体電界効果型トランジスタ(MOSFET)では、微細化した回路素子からのリーク電流による発熱が大きくなるため、従来のスケール則に従った微細化だけでは素子の性能向上に限界が指摘されている。本研究では、IV族半導体Si、Ge、新規高移動度材料として注目されているGeSnから形成される特殊なコアシェルヘテロ接合により高電子移動度型トランジスタ(HEMT)構造を1次元ナノワイヤ内部に形成することで、次世代トランジスタの微細化限界・低消費電力化の課題を解決し、ナノ構造でも不純物散乱のない高移動度デバイスを実現する。
    初年度はサイズ・配列制御可能で、大面積での繰り返しパターン形成が容易で時間短縮できるナノインプリント法と反応性イオンエッチング(RIE)法を適用し、i(intrinsic)-Ge/p-Si、逆構造であるp-Si/i-Geおよびp-Si/i-Ge1-xSnxコアシェルナノワイヤ中のコア領域のp-Siおよびi-Geナノワイヤアレイの形成を行った。RIEの条件をSiとGeで最適化することで、直径150nmのi-Geおよびp-Siナノワイヤアレイのサイズ・配列制御に成功した。RIEではナノワイヤ表面にダメージが導入される。そこで、表面ダメージ層を低温オゾン酸化とエッチングで除去し、ナノワイヤ径を高速チャネルのサイズとして利用できる50nmまで縮小化することに成功した。ナノワイヤFET形成のためのプロセスおよび大規模第一原理計算によるコアシェルナノワイヤモデルの構築を行った。

    令和2年度は、ナノワイヤを利用したベクトル光波を発生する素子構造として提案しているもののうち、WGM型の発光特性の評価を行うとともに、そのナノワイヤからのベクトル光波の発生を確認した。具体的には、有機金属気相選択成長法により作製したGaAs/InGaAs/GaAs コアマルチシェル構造のナノワイヤに対し、まず連続光励起下の顕微PL測定により、Q値が200程度の共振モードが複数のナノワイヤで観測されることを確認した。そして、パルス光励起による評価を行ったところ、連続光励起ではブロードな発光しか観測されなかった波長において、励起光強度に対し非線形的に増大する発光ピークを複數のナノワイヤにおいて観測した。これはナノワイヤがレーザ発振していることを強く示している。そして、連続光およびパルス光励起のそれぞれの条件で、発光のピーク強度の偏光依存性を評価したところ、λ/2波長板の回転角に対し90度周期で強度が振動的に変化する一方で、λ/4波長板に対してはその回転角にはほとんど依存しない発光ピークが存在することが明らかとなった。これはナノワイヤからの発光が単純な直線偏光もしくは円偏光とはなっていないことを示している。さらに、パルス光励起の条件下で非常に強度の強い単一ピークが観測されているナノワイヤについて、その発光像を観測したところ、発光像の強度分布が、λ/2波長板の回転角に応じて周期的・空間的に変化することが明らかとなった。この結果は、ナノワイヤからの発光スポットの偏光分布が空間的に一様でなく、そしてまた軸対称となっていることを示しており、以上よりベクトル光波の発生が確認された。同時に発光像のストークス解析を行ったところ、得られたナノワイヤからのベクトル光波は低次のベクトル光波となっていることを示唆する実験結果が得られた。

    In this research, we developed a formation of superlattice NWs by selective-are growth technique and demonstrated vertical diode and vertical gate all-around resonant tunneling transistor (VGAA-RTFET) device using the superlattice nanowires for the first time. The demonstrated VGAA-RTFET device has realized high-speed switching properties with high tunneling current and steep subthreshold slope (SS), and material and device technologies that simultaneously solve the TFET problem of high switching current and steep SS have been realized. This has pioneered a new methodology for low-power switching devices and high-frequency devices.

    In this research, we developed and explored heterogeneous integration of III-V nanowires heterogeneous for high-speed, low-power, and high-efficiency three-dimensional (3D) circuits application. a nanowire 3D-architecture revolutionized the existing planar integration paradigm, and created a new trend in next-generation electronics. We have created an ultra-efficient tunnel transistors driven by nanowatts based on a new Si/III-V nanowire junction and tunneling transport mechanism. These results would provided new design guidelines for three-dimensional circuit structures based on nanowire TFETs.

    We attempted the growth of InGaAs nanowires (NWs) on Si substrates by selective-area metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy. By controlling the supply ratio of source materials of group III atoms, emission from InGaAs NW arrays in the telecommunication bands were successfully confirmed by the low-temperature photoluminescence measurement. InGaAs NW arrays with a vertical pn junction are also fabricated and photocurrent spectroscopy reveals that fabricated NW array exhibited optical bandgap in the telecommunication bands. Emission mechanism of InP-based light-emitting diode (LED) was investigated and radiative tunneling was the dominant emission mechanism in the NW-LEDs. Control of the emission wavelength and size of InAsP quantum dots embedded in InP NWs were attempted and emission from the telecommunication band was demonstrated. NW-LEDs utilizing InAsP/InP heterostructure NWs were also fabricated and confirmed the light emission in the near-infrared regions originating from InAsP layer.
