  • Patent number: 8816324
    Abstract: Disclosed is a semiconductor device (10) which comprises a glass substrate (12), a lower electrode layer (14), an n-type doped polycrystalline silicon semiconductor layer (16), a low-temperature insulating film (20) in which openings (22, 23) that serve as nuclei for growth of a nanowire (32) are formed, the nanowire (32) that is grown over the low-temperature insulating film (20) and has a core-shell structure, an insulating layer (50) that surrounds the nanowire (32), and an upper electrode layer (52). The nanowire (32) comprises an n-type GaAs core layer and a p-type GaAs shell layer. Alternatively, the nanowire can be formed as a nanowire having a quantum well structure, and InAs that can allow reduction of the process temperature can be used for the nanowire.
