Doping enables the effective tuning of the properties of semiconductor nanocrystals (NCs). In this paper, germanium (Ge) NCs are doped with boron (B) in nonthermal plasma. It is shown that B atoms prefer residing at/near the NC surface, rather than in the NC core. The surface state of Ge NCs is modified by the B doping. The oxidation of B-doped Ge NCs is not as serious as that of undoped Ge NCs. Devices based on B-doped Ge-NC films cast from the dispersion of B-doped Ge NCs have been fabricated. It is shown that the electrical conduction of the B-doped Ge-NC films is closely related to the doping level of B.
