Evolution of Cu-In Catalyst Nanoparticles under Hydrogen Plasma Treatment and Silicon Nanowire Growth Conditions

We report silicon nanowire (SiNW) growth with a novel Cu-In bimetallic catalyst using a plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method. We study the structure of the catalyst nanoparticles (NPs) throughout a two-step process that includes a hydrogen plasma pre-treatment at 200 °C and the S...
