Nanostructures of silicon reveal new intrinsic properties like decreased thermal conductivity [1]. To date, it remains a challenge to measure simultaneously thermal and electronic transport properties of individual silicon nanowires. Here, we prepare silicon nanowires by metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE)[2] with solid, rough and porous surfaces in dependence of the boron doping concentration (resistivities of ρ<10 mΩcm, ρ=14-23 Ωcm, ρ>1 kΩcm).
Nanowire lengths up to 110 µm (undoped Si, ρ>1 kΩcm), 90 µm (medium doped Si, ρ=14-23 Ωcm) and about 30 µm (highly doped Si, ρ<10 mΩcm) are achieved. Fabrication on wafer scale is possible.
Surface and structural properties of both nanowire ensembles and individual nanowires are investigated by
electron microscopy and x-ray diffraction.
Single nanowires are investigated with respect to their thermoelectrical properties.
