Silicon nanowire photovoltaics

2008 33rd IEEE Photovolatic Specialists Conference, 2008
Arrays of hundreds of parallel silicon nanowire p-n junction diodes, 20 nm in diameter and separated from each other by 14 nm, were fabricated using a variant of nanoimprint lithography. Bulk film diodes were also fabricated adjacent to the arrays as controls. Dark I–V curves from the nanowire arrays and bulk films suggest that performance is currently

Nanomechanics of silicon nanowires

Physical Review B, 2004
The stability and elasto-mechanical properties of tetragonal and cagelike or clathrate nanowires of $\mathrm{Si}$ are investigated and compared using molecular dynamics simulations. Our results show that cagelike nanowires, while possessing lesser density, are able to maintain their structural integrity over a larger range of strain conditions than the

Silicon nanowire fabrication

Microelectronics International, 2014
Purpose– The purpose of this study is to present reports on fabrication of silicon (Si) nanowires (NWs). The study consists of microwire formation on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) that was fabricated using a top-down approach which involved conventional photolithography coupled with shallow anisotropic etching.Design/methodology/approach– A 5-inch p-type ...
