Abstract
The present invention provides a reproducible preliminary in-situ oxide removal step for patterned self-assisted III-V semiconductor nanowire growth. Here “in-situ” means located within the same treatment environment or apparatus as the nanowire growth process, e.g. with a molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) apparatus or the like. Providing an in-situ process may prevent the formation of a thin oxide layer during transfer of the substrate into the nanowire growth apparatus.
