Controllable growth of wafer-scale in-plane nanowires (NWs) is a prerequisite for achieving addressable and scalable NW-based quantum devices. Here, by introducing molecular beam epitaxy on patterned Si structures, we demonstrate the wafer-scale epitaxial growth of site-controlled in-plane Si, SiGe, and Ge/Si core/shell NW arrays on Si (001) substrate. The epitaxially grown Si, SiGe, and Ge/Si core/shell NW are highly homogeneous with well-defined facets. Suspended Si NWs with four {111} facets and a side width of about 25 nm are observed. Characterizations including high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) confirm the high quality of these epitaxial NWs.
晶圆级面内纳米线(NWs)的可控生长是实现基于NW的可寻址且可扩展量子器件的前提条件。在此,通过在图案化Si结构上引入分子束外延,我们展示了在Si(001)衬底上晶圆级外延生长位置可控的面内Si、SiGe和Ge/Si核壳NW阵列。外延生长的Si、SiGe和Ge/Si核壳NW高度均匀,具有清晰的晶面。观察到具有四个{111}晶面且侧边宽度约为25 nm的悬空Si NW。包括高分辨率透射电子显微镜(HRTEM)在内的表征证实了这些外延NW的高质量。
