Improving the intrinsic conductance of selective area grown in-plane InAs nanowires with a GaSb shell
Résumé
The nanoscale intrinsic electrical properties of in-plane InAs nanowires grown by selective area epitaxy are investigated using a process-free method involving a multi-probe scanning tunneling microscope. The resistance of oxide-free InAs nanowires grown on an InP(111) B substrate and the resistance of InAs/GaSb core–shell nanowires grown on an InP(001) substrate are measured using a collinear four-point probe arrangement in ultrahigh vacuum. They are compared with the resistance of two-dimensional electron gas reference samples measured using the same method and with the Van der Pauw geometry for validation. A significant improvement of the conductance is achieved when the InAs nanowires are fully embedded in GaSb, exhibiting an intrinsic sheet conductance close to the one of the quantum well counterpart.
