In this letter we demonstrate a solution-based method for a one-step deposition and surface passivation of the as-grown silicon nanowires. Using N, N-dimethylformamide (DMF) as a mild oxidizing agent, nanowires' surface traps density was reduced by over two orders of magnitude from 1x1013 cm-2 in pristine NWs to 3.7x1010 cm-2 in DMF treated NWs, leading to a dramatic hysteresis reduction in nanowire FETs from up to 32V to a near-zero hysteresis. The change of polyphenylsilane nanowire shell stoichiometric composition was confirmed by XPS analysis showing 35% increase in fully oxidized Si4+ species for DMF-treated nanowires compared to dry NW powder. Additionally, shell oxidation effect induced by DMF resulted is more stable NW FET performance with steady transistor currents and only 1.5V hysteresis after 1000 hours air exposure.
This research output has an Altmetric Attention Score of 5. This is our high-level measure of the quality and quantity of online attention that it has received. This Attention Score, as well as the ranking and number of research outputs shown below, was calculated when the research output was last mentioned on 27 April 2021.
All research outputs
#6,291,564
of 22,829,083 outputs
Outputs from ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces
#3,230
of 17,303 outputs
Outputs of similar age
#76,240
of 274,379 outputs
Outputs of similar age from ACS Applied Materials & Interfaces
#68
of 293 outputs
Altmetric has tracked 22,829,083 research outputs across all sources so far. This one has received more attention than most of these and is in the 72nd percentile.
So far Altmetric has tracked 17,303 research outputs from this source. They typically receive a little more attention than average, with a mean Attention Score of 5.6. This one has done well, scoring higher than 81% of its peers.
Older research outputs will score higher simply because they've had more time to accumulate mentions. To account for age we can compare this Altmetric Attention Score to the 274,379 tracked outputs that were published within six weeks on either side of this one in any source. This one has gotten more attention than average, scoring higher than 71% of its contemporaries.
We're also able to compare this research output to 293 others from the same source and published within six weeks on either side of this one. This one has done well, scoring higher than 76% of its contemporaries.
