A plurality of electrodes is formed. The nanowires are in electrical contact with the plurality of electrodes. The nanowires are doped. A polarized laser beam is applied to the nanowires to anneal at least a portion of the nanowires. The nanowires may be aligned substantially parallel to an axis. The laser beam may be polarized in various ways to modify absorption of radiation of the applied laser beam by the nanowires. For example, the laser beam may be polarized in a direction substantially parallel to the axis or substantially perpendicular to the axis to enable different nanowire absorption profiles.

    摘要: Embodiments of the present invention are provided for improved contact doping and annealing systems and processes. In embodiments, a plasma ion immersion implantation (PIII) process is used for contact doping of nanowires and other nanoelement based thin film devices. According to further embodiments of the present invention, pulsed laser annealing using laser energy at relatively low laser fluences below about 100 mJ/cm2 (e.g., less than about 50 mJ/cm2, e.g., between about 2 and 18 mJ/cm2) is used to anneal nanowire and other nanoelement-based devices on substrates, such as low temperature flexible substrates, e.g., plastic substrates.

The embodiments include the use of a sacrificial layer to promote uniform dopant distribution within a nanostructure during post-nanostructure synthesis doping. In another embodiment, a high temperature environment is used to anneal nanostructure damage when high energy ion implantation is used. In another embodiment rapid thermal annealing is used to drive dopants from a dopant layer on a nanostructure into the nanostructure. In another embodiment a method for doping nanowires on a plastic substrate is provided that includes depositing a dielectric stack on a plastic substrate to protect the plastic substrate from damage during the doping process. An embodiment is also provided that includes selectively using high concentrations of dopant materials at various times in synthesizing nanostructures to realize novel crystallographic structures within the resulting nanostructure.
