Wide Bandgap Semiconductor Nanowires for Electronic, Photonic and Sensing Devices

Abstract

We synthesized a variety of wide bandgap nanowires using GaN and ZnO and made functional devices from them for sensing, electronics and photonics.These included a very sensitive glucose sensor and hydrogen sensors with ppm sensitivity at room temperature. We also developed amorphous InZnO for transparent TFTs and showed highly stable operation.This effort grew out of the work on ZnO nanowires,where we noticed severe segregation effects when we tried to grow ternary wires.The IZnO films used for calibration showed very high mobilites and excellent
