Abstract

Bottom-up self-assembled planar nanowires (NWs) are of great interest for device application because they can be readily integrated using conventional processing technique. Planar GaAs NWs have been demonstrated to have great crystal quality (free from top-down dry etching damages) and high electron mobility. Considering NWs' 3D geometry, planar NW-FETs inherently benefit from the enhanced electron confinement and electrostatic gate control which are essential to suppress short channel effects and enable the down-scaling of modern transistors. We had fabricated multiple channel planar NW high electron mobility transistors (NW-HEMTs) with self-aligned intrinsic planar <60;110> GaAs NWs capped with Si doped Al xGa 1-xAs thin film as the channel on semi-insulating (100) GaAs substrates and demonstrated the feasibility of wafer-scale electrical uniformity of bottom-up NW-FETs previously [1-4]. However, these prototype multiple channel planar NW-HEMTs were of 1.2μm gate length and ∼250nm NW diameter in the channel.
