Abstract

One-dimensional nanostructures have attracted increasing attention because of their unique electronic, optical, optoelectrical, and electrochemical properties on account of their large surface-to-volume ratio and quantum confinement effect. Vertically grown nanowires have a large surface-to-volume ratio. The vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) process has attracted considerable attention for its self-alignment capability during the growth of nanostructures. In this study, vertically aligned silicon oxide nano-pillars were grown on Si\$SiO_2$(300 nm)\Pt substrates using two-zone thermal chemical vapor deposition system via the VLS process. The morphology and crystallographic properties of the grown silicon oxide nano-pillars were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The diameter and length of the grown silicon oxide nano-pillars were found to be dependent on the catalyst films. The body of the silicon oxide nano-pillars exhibited an amorphous phase, which is consisted with Si and O. The head of the silicon oxide nano-pillars was a crystalline phase, which is consisted with Si, O, Pt, and Ti. The vertical alignment of the silicon oxide nano-pillars was attributed to the preferred crystalline orientation of the catalyst Pt/Ti alloy. The vertically aligned silicon oxide nano-pillars are expected to be applied as a functional nano-material.

일차원 나노구조물은 양자 갇힘 효과 및 나노와이어가 갖는 체적 대비 높은 표면적 비에 기인하는 독특한 전기적, 광학적, 광전기적, 전기화학적 특성으로 인하여 많은 주목을 받아왔다. 특히 수직으로 성장된 나노와이어는 체적 대비 높은 표면적 비의 특성을 나타낸다. VLS(Vapor-Liquid-Soild) 공정은 나노구조물의 성장 과정에서 자기정렬 효과 때문에 더욱 주목을 받는다. 본 연구에서는 두 영역 열화학 기상증착법을 이용하여 Si\$SiO_2$(300 nm)\Pt 기판 위에 수직으로 정렬된 실리콘 옥사이드 나노기둥을 VLS 공정으로 성장시켰다. 성장된 실리콘 옥사이드 나노기둥의 형상과 결정학적 특성을 주사전자현미경 및 투과전자현미경으로 분석하였다. 그 결과 성장된 실리콘 옥사이드 나노기둥의 지름과 길이는 촉매 박막의 두께에 따라 변하였다. 실리콘 옥사이드 나노 기둥의 몸체는 비정질 상을 나타내었으며, Si과 O로 구성되어 있었다. 또한 성장된 실리콘 옥사이드 나노 기둥의 머리는 결정성을 나타내었으며, Si, O, Pt 및 Ti으로 구성되어 있었다. 실리콘 옥사이드 나노 기둥의 수직 정렬은 촉매물질인 Pt/Ti 합금의 결정성 정렬 선호에 기인하는 것으로 판단되며, 수직 성장된 실리콘 옥사이드 나노기둥은 기능성 나노소재로 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
