Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) [1] has been used for the electrical characterization of silicon nanowires (NWs). Arrays of horizontal Si NWs [2] with widths down to 10 nm have been prepared from a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) starting material. After transferring the NW structures into the Si top layer by conventional top-down approach, the samples have been locally implanted with B and As. Quantitative dopant profiling by means of KPFM is successfully employed to locate the junctions along the B-doped and As-doped Si NWs. In addition, the influence of local intrinsic electric fields [3] is discussed for the investigated SOI structures.
