Comparison and analysis of optical properties between vertical and inclined GaAs nanostructures

In this paper, COMSOL multi-physics field commercial software was used to design the simulation model of GaAs nanostructures array (vertical nanoholes, vertical nanowires, inclined nanoholes and inclined nanowires), and the changes of light absorption of these structures in the wavelength range of 200–840 nm were studied. The electric field distribution, carrier distribution and quantum efficiency of nanostructures are calculated and analyzed under certain structural parameters. The results show that the light absorption performance of nanowire structure in the short-wave region is better than that of the nanoholes structure. With a certain inclined angle, the inclined nanowire structure has a stronger light capture ability than the vertical nanowire structure, and the light absorption of nanowire structure has a minimum value at the 550 nm wavelength.
