Abstract:
A method for growing nanowires is provided to solve both the limitation of conventional vertical transistor manufacture techniques and the limitation of nanowire integration by vertically growing silicon or compound semiconductor nanowires at desired positions on a silicon substrate. A method for growing nanowires includes the steps of: patterning indents at desired positions(101) on a silicon substrate(105); depositing a metal on the bottoms of the indents; depositing an aluminum layer with predetermined thickness on the silicon substrate; subjecting the aluminum layer to anodizing to form an aluminum oxide layer(104) in which cylindrical holes are formed to expose the metal at the desired positions; and growing vertical nanowires through the cylindrical holes.
Abstract:
PURPOSE: An FET-tip type single/multi cantilever probe and a method for fabricating the same are provided to store and read an electric charge with high-speed, high-precision and high resolution by installing a tip in an FET channel formed on a front end of a cantilever arm. CONSTITUTION: A single FET-tip cantilever probe(100) includes a p-type single crystal silicon-on-insulator substrate(101). A silicon oxide layer(201) and an upper silicon layer(102) are sequentially deposited on the p-type single crystal silicon-on-insulator substrate(101). A cantilever arm(408) is formed by patterning the upper silicon layer(102) extending from a probe body(108) of the single FET-tip cantilever probe(100). A p-type tip(406) is formed in a front end of the cantilever arm(408). The p-type tip(406) is positioned at a center of a channel forming area(503), thereby forming an FET channel having n++-pn++ type structure.
