“…One-dimensional (1-D) nanostructures with their high sensitivity due to large surface-to-volume ratio and high crystal quality are considered as one of the most promising candidates to develop nanoscale electronic and optoelectronic devices. SiC nanowires, a wide bandgap semiconductor, merge particular features of 1-D nanostructures with remarkable inherent properties of SiC and enable one to realize advanced devices and sensors, such as field-effect transistors, 1,2 solar cells, 3,4 Schottky diodes, 5,6 and photodetectors [7][8][9][10][11] that can operate at high frequency, high power, and harsh environment. Among these applications, ultraviolet (UV) photodetectors have drawn tremendous interest due to its wide potential usage ranging from military applications, such as defense systems and UV communication, 5,12 to civil applications, such as food and drink industry, chemical, and medical industry.…”
