In this work we present recent results on the electrical transport of nominally undoped MBE grown InAs nanowires (NWs). In particular we explore the influence of growth parameters, microstructure, aspect ratio and contact metal on the electrical properties of the NWs. Four-terminal measurements on planar, back-gated NW field effect transistor (NWFET) devices revealed room-temperature mobilities ranging from 500 to 2000 cm2/Vs and on-off ratios of >103 at 4.2K. The obtained electron densities are in the order of 1017cm−3. A strong effect of the diameter and the microstructure, altered by growth parameters, on the mobility was observed. The latter was investigated by HRTEM, simulations and temperature-dependent measurements in high detail. Here, the impact of band discontinuieties induced by stacking faults and WZ/ZB crystal phase boundaries on electron scattering is evaluated.
