Abstract:
1. A method of manufacturing a luminous device, comprising: forming a strained semiconductor layer on a substrate; patterning the strained semiconductor layer into a first region, a second region and a nanowire fabrication region that connects the first and second regions, wherein the first region and the second region are separated from each other; separating the substrate from the nanowire fabrication region; forming a strained nanowire by isotropically etching the nanowire fabrication region; doping a first conductive type dopant in the first region; doping a second conductive type dopant in the second region; and forming a first electrode that contacts the first region and a second electrode that contacts the second region, wherein the strained nanowire has a lattice constant that increases in a lengthwise direction thereof compared to a non-strained nanowire.
