Silicon nanowires (SiNWs) were comprehensively characterized in dependence on conditions of their formation via metal (Ag) -assisted chemical etching (MACE) of monocrystalline Si. The Ag structures remained on/between SiNWs based on both n- and p-Si were f ...
Broadband electrostatic force microscopy can be used to non-destructively image n-type and p-type dopant layers in silicon devices with a lateral resolution of 10 nm and a vertical resolution of 0.5 nm. Integrated circuits and certain silicon-based quantum ...
For biomolecule sensing purposes a solid-state nanopore platform based on silicon has certain advantages as compared to nanopores on other substrates such as graphene, silicon nitride, silicon oxide etc Capitalizing on the developed CMOS technology, nanopo ...
Downscaling of the minimal feature size, or the gate length has been the key for the exponential im-provement of the performance of the logic CMOS integrated circuits over the last six decades. How-ever, since about 2003, some fundamental limits in the dev ...
Integrated wearable electronics capable of providing biophysical information on complex and dynamic systems have attracted high interest in diverse fields such as healthcare, gaming and robotics. Wearable sensors can create artificial, electronic skins wit ...
Microresonators are fundamental building blocks of any photonic integrated circuit, as they can be used as filters, modulators, sensors, and to enhance light emission. If these resonators are suspended and are free to oscillate, we can exploit the interact ...
The rapid evolution of the neuromorphic computing stimulates the search for novel brain-inspired electronic devices. Synaptic transistors are three-terminal devices that can mimic the chemical synapses while consuming low power, whereby an insulating diele ...
Powder additive pulsed Nd:YAG laser (wavelength 1064 nm), with the aim of preparing AM of such material. The influence of oxygen content in the initial silicon powders on the continuous tracks morphology was investigated. It was found that the initial oxyg ...
This work presents a systematic analysis of the transport mechanism and surface passivation of tunneling oxide (SiO2)/p-type poly-silicon (poly-Si(p)) junctions applied to p-type crystalline silicon (c-Si) solar cells by means of TCAD numerical simulations ...
Microstereolithography is a 3D microfabrication technology that is fundamentally different from the techniques commonly used in cleanroom environment for the manufacturing of MEMS components. Most microfabrication techniques evolved from the microelectroni ...
