Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the morphology variation of Au-assisted epitaxial InSb nanowires (NWs) dependence on growth temperature and growth duration by chemical vapor deposition (CVD). The NW length and tapering factor correlated to the NW morphology are determined as a function of growth temperature (300°C-480°C). Higher density and longer NWs were observed on the substrate as proportional to the growth duration. The growth direction of the NWs is <110> by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) studies. The aim of this study is to gain better understanding of the III-V NWs growth mechanism and achieve control over the growth of InSb NWs.
