The distribution of dopants significantly influences the properties of semiconductors, yet effective modulation and separation of p-type and n-type dopants in homogeneous materials remain challenging, especially for nanostructures. Employing a bond orbital model with supportive atomistic simulations, we show that axial twisting can substantially modulate the radial distribution of dopants in Si nanowires (NWs) such that dopants of smaller sizes than the host atom prefer atomic sites near the NW core, while dopants of larger sizes are prone to staying adjacent to the NW surface. We attribute such distinct behaviors to the twist-induced inhomogeneous shear strain in NW. With this, our investigation on codoping pairs further reveals that with proper choices of codoping pairs, e.g. B and Sb, n-type and p-type dopants can be well separated along the NW radial dimension. Our findings suggest that twisting may lead to realizations of p–n junction configuration and modulation doping in single-crystalline NWs.

We report the growth of SiC layers on low cost p-type silicon (100 and/or 111) substrates maintained at constant temperature (1050 - 1350oC, ∆T=50oC) in a low pressure chemical vapor deposition reactor. Typical Fourier transform infrared spectrum showed a dominant peak at 800 cm-1 due to Si-C bond excitation. Large area x-ray diffraction spectra revealed single crystalline cubic structures of 3C-SiC(111) and 3C-SiC(200) on Si(111) and Si(100) substrates, respectively. Cross-sectional views exposed by scanning electron microscopy display upto 104 µm thick SiC layer. Energy dispersive spectroscopy of the layers demonstrated stiochiometric growth of SiC. Surface roughness and morphology of the films were also checked with the help of atomic force microscopy. Resistivity of the as-grown layers increases with increasing substrate temperature due to decrease of isolated intrinsic defects such as silicon and/or carbon vacanies having activation energy 0.59 ±0.02 eV.

We fabricated electrostatically actuated single-crystalline 4H-SiC microcantilever resonators. To realize a narrow gap between cantilevers and substrate, we etched a thin p-type SiC layer in n/p/n multilayer structure by doping-selective electrochemical etching. The resonant characteristics of the fabricated 4H-SiC microcantilevers were investigated under a vacuum condition. Electrostatic actuation of microcantilevers was successfully performed by applying 10 mVrms ac voltage with 20 mV dc bias. The quality factor of 4H-SiC microcantilevers was above 100,000, which is about ten times higher than the quality factor of Si cantilevers with the same structure. Resonant characteristics were almost identical for mechanical actuation and electrostatic actuation.
