    Abstract

    We have synthesized gallium oxide (Ga2O3) nanoribbons and nanowires on gallium arsenide (GaAs) substrate by using Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation (PIII) and Rapid Thermal Annealing (RTA). Semi-insulating GaAs was treated with PIII of nitrogen, oxygen, acetylene (C2H2) or argon ions. For samples implanted with N2, O2, and C2H2 ions, subsequent RTA at 950°C within 2 minutes produced Ga2O3 nanoribbons on the substrate surface. The physical size, crystal structures and optical properties of the nanoribbons were examined by Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffaction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM), and Cathodoluninescence (CL). Our results suggest that each implanted species plays a different roles in assisting the growth of these nano-materials. Moreover, growth of Ga2O3 nano-ribbons has also been demonstrated by evaporating gold templates on the implanted surface. The possible formation mechanism, vapor-solid (VS) and vapor-liquid-solid (VLS), of these nanoribbons are also discussed in this paper.
