SILICON NANOCRYSTALS ENABLING SILICON PHOTONICS
2010Silicon Photonics is an emerging field of research and technology, where nano-silicon can play a fundamental role. In this chapter, the main building blocks of Silicon Photonics ( waveguides, modulators, sources and detectors) are reviewed and compared to their counterparts made by Si nanocrystals.

From silicon to silicon carbide
Russian Electrical Engineering, 2007The aspects of the application of new semiconductor materials, including silicon carbide (SiC) and diamond (C), in power electronics are discussed. Experience gained in the development and manufacture of single-crystalline silicon allows the outlook for wide application of SiC and C to be ...

Plastic and Reconstructive Surgery, 1993
Abstract What is silicone? Is it the same as silicon? The answer is no, but they are related. Silicones contain silicon as a primary atom in their structure. The recent public debate about the use of silicones in medical devices and recent scientific and medical literature highlights the confusion surrounding the meaning of these terms and how they ...

Diffusion of oxygen and silicon in silicon: Silicon monoxide model
Journal of Materials Research, 2001The diffusion of oxygen in silicon was modeled to result from the diffusion of dissolved silicon monoxide. The SiO molecule dissolved in the largest space in the diamond lattice of silicon, oriented in a 〈111〉 direction, with the oxygen lightly bonded to a network silicon atom.

The silicon-silicon dioxide system
Proceedings of the IEEE, 1969Study of the silicon-silicon dioxide system as a junction between a nearly ideal semiconductor and insulator has aroused both scientific and technological interest. Surface phenomena associated with this system are influenced by contamination and imperfections in the oxide, impurity redistribution in the silicon near the oxide, and finally by ...

Using Silicon to Understand Silicon
2009Silicon is the material of our time. We live in the age of silicon; it is all around us in terms of electronic gadgets and computers. However, it has not always been that way. There was a time before silicon. In the 1940s, transistors did not exist at all and in the early 1950s, transistors were made of germanium, not silicon.
