研究開始時の研究の概要 |
The study of hole-gas accumulation for HEMT applications on Si/Ge core-shell NW heterostructures using Al as a catalyst for core SiNW synthesis is the main research purpose. The bottom-up approach of the VLS growth using a CVD system is a key research method. The unique characteristics of controllable vertical growth and smooth surface with automated Al doping in Al-catalyzed SiNWs suggest the major advantages for the application of vertical SiNW-based HEMT devices. The hole gas accumulation in core-shell NWs will be examined by Raman measurement and the fitting to the Fano equation.

研究実績の概要 |
Al-catalyzed Si nanowires (NWs) formed by vapor-liquid-solid growth for high mobility field-effect transistor (HEMT) and photovoltaic cell applications were continuously investigated. The vertically aligned Al-catalyzed SiNWs with smooth surfaces and single crystalline properties while addressing the issue of metal catalyst contamination have successfully proven the notable advantage of Si/Ge heteroarchitectures in their ability to enhance hole gas accumulation through bandgap engineering design. Various p-Si/i-Ge core-shell heterostructures with the addition of intermediate or/and outermost B-doped p+-Si shell were investigated to maximize hole gas accumulation in the Ge channel layer, with a focus on monitoring their core-shell structures, interfaces, and crystalline properties. Exploring the physical and optical properties of nanodots at both room and low temperatures for photovoltaic applications has contributed to a deeper understanding of functionalization techniques aimed at enhancing SiNW-based solar cells.

今後の研究の推進方策 |
In this fiscal year, the experimental results will be continuously presented. More manuscripts will be submitted for publication. Extended investigation on Al-catalyzed SiNW size and position controls including the interface passivation for double-hetero Si/Ge core-shell NW structures and their effects on hole-gas accumulation will be elucidated. Various nanodots for photovoltaic applications will be observed in their physical and optical properties to enhance Al-catalyzed SiNW-based solar cells.
