We systematically investigate the photoresponse properties of ultrathin SiNWs (20 nm) fabricated using a size-reduction method based on e-beam lithography and tetramethylammonium hydroxide wet-etching. The high-quality SiNWs were able to detect light from the UV to the visible range with excellent sensitivity (∼1 pW/array), good time response, and high photoresponsivity (R ∼ 2.5 × 104 A/W). Improvement of the ultrathin SiNWs' photoresponse has been observed in comparison to 40 nm counter-part nanowires. These properties are attributable to the predominance surface-effect due to the high surface-to-volume ratio of ultrathin SiNWs. Long-term measurements at different temperatures in both the forward and reverse bias directions demonstrated the stability and reliability of the fabricated device. By sensitizing the fabricated SiNW arrays with cadmium telluride quantum dots (QDs), hybrid QD SiNW devices displayed an improvement in photocurrent response under UV light, while preserving their performance in the visible light range. The fast, stable, and high photoresponse of these hybrid nanostructures is promising towards the development of optoelectronic and photovoltaic devices 000185490 536__ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-423$$a423 - Sensorics and bioinspired systems (POF2-423)$$cPOF2-423$$fPOF II$$x0 000185490 588__ $$aDataset connected to CrossRef, juser.fz-juelich.de 000185490 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aMacdonald, Thomas J.$$b1 000185490 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)128745$$aWolfrum, Bernhard$$b2$$ufzj 000185490 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)128733$$aStockmann, Regina$$b3$$ufzj 000185490 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aNann, Thomas$$b4 000185490 7001_ $$0P:(DE-Juel1)128713$$aOffenhäusser, Andreas$$b5$$ufzj 000185490 7001_ $$0P:(DE-HGF)0$$aThierry, Benjamin$$b6 000185490 773__ $$0PERI:(DE-600)1469436-0$$a10.1063/1.4904089$$gVol. 105, no. 23, p. 231116 -$$n23$$p231116 $$tApplied physics letters$$v105$$x1077-3118$$y2014 000185490 8564_ $$uhttps://juser.fz-juelich.de/record/185490/files/FZJ-2014-06917.pdf$$yOpenAccess 000185490 909CO $$ooai:juser.fz-juelich.de:185490$$pdnbdelivery$$pdriver$$pVDB$$popen_access$$popenaire 000185490 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)164294$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b0$$kFZJ 000185490 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)128745$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b2$$kFZJ 000185490 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)128733$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b3$$kFZJ 000185490 9101_ $$0I:(DE-588b)5008462-8$$6P:(DE-Juel1)128713$$aForschungszentrum Jülich GmbH$$b5$$kFZJ 000185490 9132_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF3-523$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF3-520$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF3-500$$aDE-HGF$$bKey Technologies$$lFuture Information Technology - Fundamentals, Novel Concepts and Energy Efficiency (FIT)$$vControlling Configuration-Based Phenomena$$x0 000185490 9131_ $$0G:(DE-HGF)POF2-423$$1G:(DE-HGF)POF2-420$$2G:(DE-HGF)POF2-400$$3G:(DE-HGF)POF2$$4G:(DE-HGF)POF$$aDE-HGF$$bSchlüsseltechnologien$$lGrundlagen zukünftiger Informationstechnologien$$vSensorics and bioinspired systems$$x0 000185490 9141_ $$y2014 000185490 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bWeb of Science Core Collection 000185490 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0100$$2StatID$$aJCR 000185490 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0200$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bSCOPUS 000185490 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0110$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index 000185490 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0111$$2StatID$$aWoS$$bScience Citation Index Expanded 000185490 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)9900$$2StatID$$aIF < 5 000185490 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0510$$2StatID$$aOpenAccess 000185490 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)1150$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bCurrent Contents - Physical, Chemical and Earth Sciences 000185490 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0300$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bMedline 000185490 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0420$$2StatID$$aNationallizenz 000185490 915__ $$0StatID:(DE-HGF)0199$$2StatID$$aDBCoverage$$bThomson Reuters Master Journal List 000185490 920__ $$lyes 000185490 9201_ $$0I:(DE-Juel1)PGI-8-20110106$$kPGI-8$$lBioelektronik$$x0 000185490 9201_ $$0I:(DE-82)080009_20140620$$kJARA-FIT$$lJARA-FIT$$x1 000185490 980__ $$ajournal 000185490 980__ $$aVDB 000185490 980__ $$aUNRESTRICTED 000185490 980__ $$aI:(DE-Juel1)PGI-8-20110106 000185490 980__ $$aI:(DE-82)080009_20140620 000185490 9801_ $$aFullTexts
