Abstract

We review the position-controlled growth of III-V nanowires (NWs) by selective-area metal-organic vapor-phase epitaxy (SA-MOVPE). This epitaxial technique enables the positioning of the vertical NWs on (111) oriented surfaces with lithographic techniques. Core-shell structures have also been achieved by controlling the growth mode during SA-MOVPE. The core-shell III-V NW-based devices such as light-emitting diodes, photovoltaic cells, and vertical surrounding-gate transistors are discussed in this article. Nanometer-scale growth also enabled the integration of III-V NWs on Si regardless of lattice mismatches. These demonstrated achievements should have broad applications in laser diodes, photodiodes, and high-electron mobility transistors with functionality on Si not made possible with conventional Si-CMOS techniques.
