Post-growth shaping and transport anisotropy in 2D InAs nanofins
arXiv:2305.08309 · doi:10.1021/acsnano.1c00483
Abstract
We report on the post-growth shaping of free-standing 2D InAs nanofins that are grown by selective-area epitaxy and mechanically transferred to a separate substrate for device fabrication. We use a citric acid based wet etch that enables complex shapes, e.g., van der Pauw cloverleaf structures, with patterning resolution down to 150 nm as well as partial thinning of the nanofin to improve the gate response. We exploit the high sensitivity of the cloverleaf structures to transport anisotropy to address the fundamental question of whether there is a measurable transport anisotropy arising from wurtzite/zincblende polytypism in 2D InAs nanostructures. We demonstrate a mobility anisotropy of order 2-4 at room temperature arising from polytypic stacking faults in our nanofins. Our work highlights a key materials consideration for devices featuring self-assembled 2D III-V nanostructures using advanced epitaxy methods.
