The heterostructure Ge/Si NWs have been suggested as potential building blocks to realize future high-performance transistor applications. Many efforts have been done to optimize structures, selective doping, carrier concentrations, and interface properties to be able to use NWs for nanodevices. However, the formation of a sharp interface and good crystallinity have not yet been optimized to enhance hole carrier accumulation. In this study, the thermal annealing effects on i-Ge/p-Si core-shell NWs were investigated. The morphology, interface, and crystalline property were analyzed by controlling the annealing parameters.
