TI - Effect of Si-doping on InAs nanowire transport and morphology JO - Journal of applied physics VL - 110 SN - 0021-8979 CY - Melville, NY PB - American Institute of Physics M1 - PreJuSER-21110 SP - 053709 PY - 2011 N1 - Record converted from VDB: 12.11.2012 AB - The effect of Si-doping on the morphology, structure, and transport properties of nanowires was investigated. The nanowires were deposited by selective-area metal organic vapor phase epitaxy in an N-2 ambient. It is observed that doping systematically affects the nanowire morphology but not the structure of the nanowires. However, the transport properties of the wires are greatly affected. Room-temperature four-terminal measurements show that with an increasing dopant supply the conductivity monotonously increases. For the highest doping level the conductivity is higher by a factor of 25 compared to only intrinsically doped reference nanowires. By means of back-gate field-effect transistor measurements it was confirmed that the doping results in an increased carrier concentration. Temperature dependent resistance measurements reveal, for lower doping concentrations, a thermally activated semiconductor-type increase of the conductivity. In contrast, the nanowires with the highest doping concentration show a metal-type decrease of the resistivity with decreasing temperature. (C) 2011 American Institute of Physics.
