Abstract
Single ZnO nanowire metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistors (MOSFETs) were fabricated using nanowires grown by site selective Molecular Beam Epitaxy. When measured in the dark at 25°C,the depletion-mode transistors exhibit good saturation behavior, a threshold voltage of ~-3V and a maximum transconductance of order 0.3 mS/mm.Under ultra-violet (366nm) illumination, the drain-source current increase by approximately a factor of 5 and the maximum transconductance is ~ 5 mS/mm. The channel mobility is estimated to be ~3 cm2 /V.s, which is comparable to that reported for thin film ZnO enhancement mode MOSFETs and the on/off ratio was ~25 in the dark and ~125 under UV illumination.
