Abstract:

We present a novel technique for reliable electrical injection into single semiconductor nanowires for light-emitting diodes and lasers. The method makes use of a high-resolution negative electron-beam resist and direct electron-beam patterning for the precise fabrication of a metallic top contact along the length of the nanowire, while a planar substrate is used as a bottom contact. It can be applied to any nanowire structure with an arbitrary cross section. We demonstrate this technique by constructing the first zinc oxide single-nanowire light-emitting diode. The device exhibits broad sub-bandgap emission at room temperature.
