Abstract

we have demonstrated structural evolution and optical properties of Si-nanowires (NWs) synthesized on Si (111) substrates with nanoscale Au-Si islands by rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition (RTCVD). The Au-Si nano-islands (10-50nm in diameter) were employed as a liquid-droplet catalysis to grow Si-NWs via vapor-liquid-solid mechanism. The Si-NWs were grown by a mixture gas of SiH4 and H2 at a pressure of 1.0 Torr and temperatures of $500{\sim}600^{\circ}C$. Scanning electron microscopy measurements showed that the Si-NWs are uniformly sized and vertically well-aligned along <111> direction on Si (111) surfaces. The resulting NWs are ${\sim}60nm$ in average diameter and ${\sim}5um$ in average length. High resolution transmission microscopy measurements indicated that the NWs are single crystals covered with amorphous SiOx layers of ${\sim}3nm$ thickness. In addition, the optical properties of the NWs were investigated by micro-Raman spectroscopy. The downshift and asymmetric broadening of the Si main optical phonon peak were observed in Raman spectra of Si-NWs, which indicates a minute stress effects on Raman spectra due to a slight lattice distortion led by lattice expansion of Si-NW structures.

나노크기의 Au-Si을 촉매로 급속열화학기상증착(rapid thermal chemical vapor deposition)법을 이용하여 Si(111) 기판에 성장한 Si 나노선의 구조적인 형태 변화와 광학적 특성을 연구하였다. 기상-액상-고상(vapor-liquid-solid) 성장법에 의한 Si 나노선 형성 과정에서 액상 입자인 Au-Si 나노점은 나노선 성장온도에서 촉매로 사용되었다. 이 액상 나노점이 형성된 Si 기판에 1.0Torr 압력과 $500-600^{\circ}C$ 기판 온도 하에서 $SiH_4$와 $H_2$의 혼합가스를 공급하여 Si 나노선을 형성하였다. Si 나노선 성장 후 형태를 전계방출 주사전자현미경(Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope)으로 관찰한 결과, 대부분의 나노선이 균일한 크기로 기판 표면에 수직하게 <111> 방향으로 정렬된 것을 확인하였다. 형성된 나노선의 크기는 평균 직경이 ${\sim}60nm$이고 평균 길이가 ${\sim}5um$임을 확인하였다. 또한 고 분해능 투과전자현미경(High Resolution-Transmission Electron Microscope) 관찰을 통해 Si 나노선은 약 3nm의 비정질 산화층으로 둘러 싸여 있는 Si 단결정임이 분석되었다. 그리고 마이크로 라만 분광(Micro-Raman Scattering)법을 통한 광학적 특성 분석 결과, Si의 광학 포논(Optical Phonon) 신호 위치가 Si 나노선 구조의 영향으로 낮은 에너지 쪽으로 이동하며, Si 포논 신호의 폭이 비대칭적으로 증가함을 확인하였다.
