Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) periodic arrays of vertically-aligned SiGe nanorods were successfully produced on (001)Si0.8Ge0.2 virtual substrates by using the polystyrene (PS) nanosphere lithography technique and selective metal-catalytic etching method. The diameter and site of the produced SiGe nanorods were controlled by the RIE-trimmed PS spheres mask used. TEM and electron diffraction analyses results clearly reveal that all the produced SiGe nanorods were perfectly single crystals and their axial orientations were along the [001] direction. TEM/EDS analysis further confirmed that the nanorods produced were pure SiGe nanorods.
