<p>The present invention provides an optoelectronic semiconductor device comprising at least one semiconductor nanowire (2), wherein the nanowire (2) comprises a nanowire core (3) and at least one shell layer (4) arranged around at least a portion of the nanowire core (3). The nanowire core (3) and the shell layer (4) form a pn or pin junction that in operation provides an active region (7) for carrier generation or carrier recombination. Quantum dots (10) adapted to act as carrier recombination centres or carrier generation centres are arranged in the active region (7). By using the nanowire core (3) as template for formation of the quantum dots (10) and the shell layer (4), quantum dots of homogeneous size and uniform distribution can be obtained. Basically, the optoelectronic semiconductor device can be used for light generation or light absorption. In the former case the optoelectronic semiconductor device is a light emitting diode or a laser diode and in the latter case the optoelectronic semiconductor device is a photoelectric device, such as a photo diode, a photo detector or a solar cell.</p> |
