Abstract
An external electric field (up to 10(6) V/cm) was used for nanoscale p-n junction fabrication in Si doped with Li (Si:Li) in situ in a scanning probe microscope. Creation of nano-p-n junctions was ascribed to the thermally assisted electromigration of Li+ ions. Tunneling I-V spectroscopy provided evidence for a conversion of the electrical conductivity type from p to n. A local temperature increase during an electric field-induced p-n junction fabrication was estimated to be up to 160 degreesC. (C) 2001 American Institute of Physics.
