The authors present the demonstration of nanowire field-effect transistors incorporating group IV alloy nanowires, . Single-crystalline alloy nanowires were grown by a Au catalyst-assisted chemical vapor synthesis using and precursors, and the alloy composition was reproducibly controlled in the whole composition range by controlling the kinetics of catalytic decomposition of precursors. Complementary in situ doping of nanowires was achieved by and incorporation during the synthesis for - and -type field-effect transistors. The availability of both - and -type nanowire circuit components suggests implications for group IV semiconductor nanowire electronics and optoelectronics.
