摘要:
Silicon oxide (SiO
x) nanowires are generally grown on Si substrate under the catalysis of Au in N
2 atmosphere at elevated temperatures. Because the price of Au metal is quite high, Fe metal is then used to replace a part of Au for catalyzing the growth of SiO
x nanowires. The results show that the Fe film can be used as the diffusion barrier of Au. SiO
x nanowires are grown on Au/Fe/Si substrate at 1030℃. Under the catalysis of Fe/Au, the efficiency for the growth of SiO
x nanowires is promoted.
