Wafer-level integration of self-aligned high aspect ratio silicon 3D structures using the MACE method with Au, Pd, Pt, Cu, and Ir

Beilstein Journal of Nanotechnology, 2020
The wafer-level integration of high aspect ratio silicon nanostructures is an essential part of the fabrication of nanodevices. Metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) is a promising low-cost and high-volume technique for the generation of vertically ...

Wideband ‘black silicon’ for mid-infrared applications [PDF]

Journal of Optics, 2017
In this paper, we investigate the absorption of mid-infrared light by low resistivity silicon textured via deep reactive ion etching. An analytical description of the wave propagation in black silicon texture is presented, showing agreement with the experiment and the computational analysis.

An Opto-Electro-Thermal Model for Black-Silicon Assisted Photovoltaic Cells in Thermophotovoltaic Applications

Photonics, 2023
Black silicon (b-Si)-assisted photovoltaic cells have textured b-Si surfaces, which have excellent light-trapping properties. There has been a limited amount of work performed on the theoretical modelling of b-Si photovoltaic cells, and hence, in this ...

Black Silicon with high density and high aspect ratio nanowhiskers

, 2011
Physical properties of black Silicon (b-Si) formed on Si wafers by reactive ion etching in chlorine plasma are reported in an attempt to clarify the formation mechanism and the origin of the observed optical and electrical phenomena which are promising ...

An Investigation on a Crystalline-Silicon Solar Cell with Black Silicon Layer at the Rear. [PDF]

Nanoscale Res Lett, 2017
Crystalline-Si (c-Si) solar cell with black Si (b-Si) layer at the rear was studied in order to develop c-Si solar cell with sub-band gap photovoltaic response. The b-Si was made by chemical etching. The c-Si solar cell with b-Si at the rear was found to perform far better than that of similar structure but with no b-Si at the rear, with the efficiency

Irrigation and phytolith formation:an experimental study [PDF]

, 2011
It has been proposed that phytoliths from archaeological sites can be indicators of water availability and hence inform about past agricultural practices (Rosen and Weiner, 1994; Madella et al., 2009). Rosen and Weiner (1994) found that the number of

Thermoreflectance Detection of Point Defects Resulting from Focused Ion Beam Milling

Advanced Engineering Materials, EarlyView.
Focused ion beam (FIB) milling is a common tool for nanoscale material processing, however irradiation damage, redeposition, and contamination can occur. We use several characterization tools to show FIB‐induced effects beyond 1 mm from the milled area.

Fabrication of Micro- and Nanopillars from Pyrolytic Carbon and Tetrahedral Amorphous Carbon

Micromachines, 2019
Pattern formation of pyrolyzed carbon (PyC) and tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) thin films were investigated at micro- and nanoscale. Micro- and nanopillars were fabricated from both materials, and their biocompatibility was studied with cell ...
