Abstract

We report direct growth of InSb nanowires (NWs) and monolithic device fabrication on flexible plastic substrates. The nanowires were grown using metal–organic vapor-phase epitaxy (MOVPE) in self-catalyzed mode. The InSb NWs are shown to form in the zinc-blende crystal structure and to exhibit strong photoluminescence at room temperature. The NW array light-trapping properties are evidenced by reflectance that is significantly reduced compared to bulk material. Finally, the InSb NWs are used to demonstrate a metal–semiconductor–metal photoresistor directly on the flexible plastic substrate. The results are believed to advance the integration of III–V nanowires to flexible devices, and infrared photodetectors in particular.
