Tóm tắt

AbstractNanoscale light‐emitting diodes (nanoLEDs) with colors spanning from the ultraviolet to near‐infrared region of the electromagnetic spectrum were prepared using a solution‐based approach in which emissive electron‐doped semiconductor nanowires were assembled with nonemissive hole‐doped silicon nanowires in a crossed nanowire architecture. Single‐ and multicolor nanoLED devices and arrays were made with colors specified in a predictable way by the bandgaps of the III–V and II–VI nanowire building blocks. The approach was extended to combine nanoscale electronic and photonic devices into integrated structures, where a nanoscale transistor was used to switch the nanoLED on and off. In addition, this approach was generalized to hybrid devices consisting of nanowire emitters assembled on lithographically patterned planar silicon structures, which could provide a route for integrating photonic devices with conventional silicon microelectronics. Lastly, nanoLEDs were used to optically excite emissive molecules and nanoclusters, and hence could enable a range of integrated sensor/detection “chips” with multiplexed analysis capabilities.

Photoluminescence measurements were made on individual NWs using a home‐built microluminescence instrument.[5 17]The data recorded on GaN CdS CdSeS CdSe and InP NWs typically showed luminescence maxima of ≈370 ≈510 ≈600 ≈700 and ≈820 nm respectively which are consistent with the bulk semiconductor bandgaps. The emission from InP NWs is blue‐shifted due to quantum confinement and other factors.[5 17]

Transport measurements were made on GaN CdS CdSeS CdSe and InP NWs in FET geometry with a back gate as described previously.[5‐8]In all cases positive gate voltage increases the conductance and negative gate voltages decrease the conductance of the NWs which is consistent with n‐type doping. The carrier mobility of each material is estimated from the transconductance with values: GaN 150–650 cm2 V−1 s; CdS CdSSe and CdSe 100–400 cm2 V−1 s; and InP 400–4000 cm2 V−1 s.

Madelung O., 1987, LANDOLT‐BORNSTEIN New Series:

Electrons are injected efficiently into the SiNW (from n‐GaN NW) at the initial diode turn‐on voltage of 1 V. Measurements in which the spectrometer detection range was extended to 1000 nm showed no evidence for bandgap emission from the SiNWs above the ≈1 V threshold.
