Metallic Nanoalloys on Vertical GaAs Nanowires: Growth Mechanisms and Shape Control of Ni-GaAs Compounds

Résumé

GaAs nanowires are promising candidates for emerging devices in a broad field of applications (e.g., nanoelectronics, photodetection, or photoconversion). These nanostructures benefit greatly from a vertical integration, as it allows for the exhibition of the entire nanowire surface. However, one of the main challenges related to vertical integration is the conception of an efficient method to create low resistive contacts at nanoscale without degrading the device performance. In this article, we propose a complementary metal-oxide-semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible approach to form alloyed contacts at the extremities of vertical GaAs nanowires. Ni-based and Pd-based alloys on different vertical GaAs nanostructures have been characterized by structural and chemical analyses to identify the phase and to study the growth mechanisms involved at the nanoscale. It is shown that the formation of the Ni3GaAs alloy on top of nanowires following the epitaxial relation Ni3GaAs(0001)∥GaAs(111) leads to a pyramidal shape with four faces. Finally, guidelines are presented to tune the shape of this alloy by varying the initial metal thickness and nanowire diameters. It will facilitate the fabrication of a nanoalloy structure with tailored shape characteristics to precisely align with a designated application.
