Effect of Dopants on Epitaxial Growth of Silicon Nanowires
We investigated the effects of dopants on epitaxial growth of Si NWs, with an emphasis on synthesizing vertical epitaxial Si NW arrays on Si (111) substrates. We found that addition of boron with a B:Si feed-in atomic ratio greater than 1:1000 improved the percentage of Si NWs grown along the vertic...
