Abstract
- Because of tunable bandgap and high carrier mobility, ternary III-V nanowires (NWs) have demonstrated enormous potential for advanced applications. However, the synthesis of large-scale and highly-crystalline InxGa1−xSb NWs is still a challenge. Here, we achieve high-density and crystalline stoichiometric InxGa1−xSb (0.09 -orientation via chemical vapor deposition. The as-prepared NWs show excellent electrical and optoelectronic characteristics, including the high hole mobility (i.e. 463 cm2 V−1 s−1 for In0.09Ga0.91Sb NWs) as well as broadband and ultrafast photoresponse over the visible and infrared optical communication region (1550 nm). Specifically, the In0.28Ga0.72Sb NW device yields efficient rise and decay times down to 38 and 53 μs, respectively, along with the responsivity of 6000 A W−1 and external quantum efficiency of 4.8 × 106 % towards 1550 nm regime. High-performance NW parallel-arrayed devices can also be fabricated to illustrate their large-scale device integrability for next-generation, ultrafast, high-responsivity and broadband photodetectors.<br />The application of ternary nanowires (NWs) in optoelectronics has been hindered by difficulties in producing high quality NWs on silicon substrates. Here, the authors report on InxGa1-xSb NWs exhibiting simultaneously high hole mobility, responsivity, and fast response times in the infrared regime.
