We investigate piezoresistance in lithographically defined silicon nanowires of various cross-sectional aspect ratios. Both < 110 >- and < 100 >- oriented nanowires are investigated under < 110 >-oriented strain. The nanowire thickness is varied from 23 to 45 nm and the nanowire width is varied from 5 to 113 nm. Our data shows piezoresistance in silicon nanowires being a surface induced effect with {110} surfaces inducing a much larger piezoresistance than {100} surfaces. This is consistent with a higher density of surface states on {110} surfaces than on {100} surfaces. Our experimental findings support recent computational work pointing toward surface states being the source of giant piezoresistance in silicon nanowires. (C) 2010 American Institute of Physics.
