Abstract

The unique properties of semiconductor nanowires pose promising applications in optoelectronics such as photo-detectors and lasers. Owing to the increased surface/volume ratio, nanowire-based p-n junctions exhibit qualitatively different properties from those of bulk cases. These include weaker electrostatic screening and stronger fringe field effects. This work employs a general device simulator, PROPHET, to numerically investigate the unique electrical properties of p-n junctions in single nanowires and nanowire arrays. The implications of such effects in nanowire-based photo-detector design are also examined.
