摘要
The authors studied the transport in n- and p-type silicon nanowires. When the temperature decreases from 325 to 75 K, they observed a variation of the nanowire resistance, consistent with a transport governed by electron-phonon scattering. The lateral size of the nanowire down to 25 nm is not found to cause further surface scattering, due to the presence of interface states which create a depleted region in the nanowires. Such depleted region allows thus to keep a carrier mobility in the nanowires similar to the bulk one. (C) 2008 American Institute of Physics.
