We have demonstrated the synthesis of Indium Nitride (InN) Nanopines (N Pi s) array on Si substrate using Oblique Angle Deposition (OAD) technique. The deposited InN N.s have an average height of similar to 2 mu m. The grown InN N.s are hexagonal in nature and have prominent diffraction peak along < 002 > orientation. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurement confirms the presence of IneN bonds. An Optical absorption spectroscopy reveals high band gap absorption at approximately 1.15 eV. The carrier concentration of (similar to 1.8 x 10(20) cm(-3)) was determined using capacitance (C) e voltage (V) measurement. The infrared detection with maximum responsivity at 1.14 eV (similar to 1078 nm) was obtained near the optical band edge at 10 K. A low device sensitivity was observed with an increasing operating temperature. (C) 2017 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
