Si nanowires produced by very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition via VLS mechanism

Silicon nanowires (SiNWs) with diameter of about a few nanometers and length of 3 μm on silicon wafers were synthesized by very high frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observations showed that the silicon nanowires were grown randomly and energy-d...
