Abstract
The electrical and photodiode characteristics of ensemble and single p-GaN nanowire and n-Si heterojunction devices were studied. Ideality factor of the single nanowire p-GaN/n-Si device was found to be about three times lower compared to that of the ensemble nanowire device. Apart from the deep-level traps in p-GaN nanowires, defect states due to inhomogeneity in Mg dopants in the ensemble nanowire device are attributed to the origin of the high ideality factor. Photovoltaic mode of the ensemble nanowire device showed an improvement in the fill-factors up to 60% over the single nanowire device with fill-factors up to 30%. Responsivity of the single nanowire device in the photoconducting mode was found to be enhanced by five orders, at 470 nm. The enhanced photoresponse of the single nanowire device also confirms the photoconduction due to defect states in p-GaN nanowires.
