The p-type 3C-SiC nanowires are synthesized according to a direct vapor-solid reaction adoping a diborane dopant source, and the structure characterizations reveal that the as-synthesized nanowires have a zinc blende structure with a crystal growth direction of [111]. The electrical properties of nano-field-effect transistors demonstrate that the SiC nanowires have p-type conductivity with a mobility (mu(h)) of 4.2 x 10(-2) cm(2) V-1 S-1 and carrier concentration (nh) about 2.98 x 10(19) cm(-3). This significant p-type conductivity is attributed to the B doping, the high-aspect-ratio and nearly perfect single-crystalline quality. The as-synthesized 3C-SiC nanowires are excellent candidates for nanoelectronic devices. (C) 2014 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
