摘要: Single-crystalline Ge nanowires have been synthesized on Au-coated Si substrates through a thermal evaporation, condensation method and vapor-liquid-solidmechanism. The [111] growth direction of the Ge nanowires was analyzed using HRTEM and fast Fourier transform diffraction patterns. Global back-gated Ge nanowire field-effect transistors (FETs) on the Si3N4 dielectrics were fabricated and studied, showing p-type behavior and a field effect hole mobility of 44.3 cm(2) V-1 s(-1). The Ge channel length could be well controlled through the annealing process. After a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) process, Ni2Ge/Ge/Ni2Ge nano-heterostructures were formed. The electrical transport properties were effectively improved by the heterojunction rather than the metal contact. The epitaxial relationship between Ge and orthorhombic Ni2Ge was Ge [110]//Ni2Ge[110] and Ge(-11-1)//Ni2Ge(1-1-2). From electrical transport properties, the measured resistivity of the Ge nanowires was much lower than intrinsic bulk Ge material. A room temperature photoluminescence spectrum of the Ge nanowires possessed a broad blue emission with a peak at 462 nm in wavelength, which was attributed to the oxide-related defect states. Due to the existence of the defects, a Ge nanowire FET was able to detect visible light and serve as a nanowire photodetector.
