To achieve high performance optoelectronic devices with III-V semiconductor nanowire (NW) heterostructures sophisticated junctions with controlled properties are required. In order to study microscopic details of the NW structure and its composition, we investigated upright standing p-GaAs/i-GaInP/n-GaInP core-shell-shell NWs on the growth substrates. Cores of the NWs were grown via the vapor-liquid-solid mode followed by epitaxial shell growth in a low-pressure horizontal metalorganic vapor-phase epitaxy reactor. We employ a combination of material-selective wet chemical etching of as-grown coaxial NWs and a multi-tip scanning tunnelling microscope operated as a four-point nano-prober to obtain spatially resolved I-V analysis. These revealed a leakage mechanism causing degraded core-shell pn-junction performance, which is localized at the NW base where a buried contact of the n-GaInP shell to the p-GaAs substrate is formed. Furthermore, the combination of SEM with EDX and XRD measurements reveal the contrast of NW shell and planar layer growth. Our high-end characterization methods enable a direct relation between the NW structures and the electronic properties of as-grown coaxial NWs, which provides precise advice for future NW core-shell pn-junction optimization.
