Nanometer-scale GaAs clusters from organometallic precursors
نویسندگان
چکیده
We report the synthesis of crystalline nanometer-scale GaAs clusters by homogeneous vapor-phase nucleation from organometallic precursors. Cluster synthesis is performed in a hot wall organometallic vapor-phase epitaxy reactor at atmospheric pressure. High resolution transmission electron microscopy studies reveal that the aerosol produced is composed of highly faceted single crystal GaAs particles in the 10-20 nm range. The influence of growth temperature and reactant concentration on cluster morphology is discussed.

Vapor phase synthesis of crystalline nanometer-scale GaAs clusters
We report the synthesis of crystalline nanometer-scale GaAs clusters in the 5-10 nm size regime. The clusters are formed by the homogeneousnucleation of a nonequilibrium vapor created by the explosive vaporization of a bulk GaAs sample in an inert atmosphere. High resolution electron microscopy and diffraction show that the-clusters have zincblende crystal structure and are faceted. Optical mea...

High-quality GaAs/AlGaAs quantum well and modulation-doped heterostructures have been grown by low-pressure organometallic vapor phase epitaxy (OMVPE) using trimethylamine alane (TMAA) as a new aluminum source. TMAA is an alternative to the conventional organometallic precursors and offers the advantage of substantially reduced oxygen and carbon incorporation in AlGaAs. Intense photoluminescenc...

Atomic layer deposition ALD grown Al2O3 has excellent bulk and interface properties on III-V compound semiconductors and is used as gate dielectric for GaAs and GaN metal-oxide-semiconductor field-effect transistors MOSFETs . The low-temperature LT ALD technology enables us to fabricate 100 nm MOS structures on GaAs, defined by nanoimprint lithography. The electrical characterization of these n...
متن کاملInterface and contact structures for nanoelectronic devices using assemblies of metallic nanoclusters, conjugated organic molecules and chemically stable semiconductor layers
Self-assembly (‘building’) approaches can provide well-controlled structures and assemblies at the nanometer scale, but typically do not provide the specific structures or functionalities required for robust nanoelectronic circuits. One approach to realize high-density nanoelectronic circuits is to combine self-assembly techniques with more conventional semiconductor device and circuit approach...
