Direct GaAs Nanowire Growth and Monolithic Light‐Emitting Diode Fabrication on Flexible Plastic Substrates

“…Notably, the density and length of self-catalyzed GaAs NWs are in contrast to earlier reports, where metalorganic vapor phase epitaxy (MOVPE) growth typically results in stunted and sparse NWs. [19][20][21] The exact beneficial mechanism of the growth on PI is not examined in this study, while it is believed to be related to surface and interface energies. [22] In order to study the crystal structure of the samples, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) measurements were performed (two different NWs shown in Figure 2a,b, and additional one in Figure S1, Supporting Information).…”

“…[18] However, self-catalyzed growth of GaAs NWs (i.e., Ga seeded) typically results only in sparse or stunted growth. [19][20][21] In this report, we present self-catalyzed growth of GaAs NWs and demonstrate monolithic LED directly on flexible plastic substrate. The self-catalyzed growth is shown to result in long and dense GaAs NW forest on the plastic substrates, and electron DOI: 10.1002/adpr.202100311…”
