Abstract
We report on the growth of GaAs and GaAs/AlGaAs heterostructured hexagonal pillar structures using selective area (SA) metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE). By performing growth on SiO2-masked (1 1 1)B GaAs substrates with circular or hexagonal hole openings, extremely uniform array of hexagonal GaAs/AlGaAs pillars consisting {110} vertical facets with their diameter of order of 100nm were obtained. Unexpectedly, strong intense light emission was observed for the room temperature photoluminescence measurement of the pillar arrays in triangular lattice, which is promising for the application to the photonic crystals to enhance the light extraction efficiency from the materials with high refractive index. Furthermore, it was also found that hexagonal pillars with size 60nm and large aspect ratio (>100) by reducing the size of initial hole size of mask, opening a possibility to grow nanowires using epitaxial growth.
