摘要
We demonstrate a novel method to fabricate an axial p-n junction inside < 111 > oriented short vertical silicon nanowires grown by molecular beam epitaxy by combining ion implantation with in-situ doping. The lower halves of the nanowires were doped in-situ with boron (concentration similar to 10(18) cm(-3)), while the upper halves were doubly implanted with phosphorus to yield a uniform concentration of 2 x 10(19) cm(-3). Electrical measurements of individually contacted nanowires showed excellent diode characteristics and ideality factors close to 2. We think that this value of ideality factors arises out of a high rate of carrier recombination through surface states in the native oxide covering the nanowires.
