Visible and infrared emission from Si/Ge nanowires synthesized by metal-assisted wet etching
Multi-quantum well Si/Ge nanowires (NWs) were realized by combining molecular beam epitaxy deposition and metal-assisted wet etching, which is a low-cost technique for the synthesis of extremely dense (about 1011 cm-2) arrays of NWs with a high and controllable aspect ratio. In particular, we prepared ultrathin Si/Ge NWs having a mean diameter of about 8 nm and lengths spanning from 1.0 to 2.7 ...
متن کاملUnraveling the Morphological Evolution and Etching Kinetics of Porous Silicon Nanowires During Metal-Assisted Chemical Etching
Many potential applications of porous silicon nanowires (SiNWs) fabricated with metal-assisted chemical etching are highly dependent on the precise control of morphology for device optimization. However, the effects of key etching parameters, such as the amount of deposited metal catalyst, HF-oxidant molar ratio (χ), and solvent concentration, on the morphology and etching kinetics of the SiNWs...
متن کاملSi nanowires by a single-step metal-assisted chemical etching process on lithographically defined areas: formation kinetics
In this paper, we investigate the formation kinetics of Si nanowires [SiNWs] on lithographically defined areas using a single-step metal-assisted chemical etching process in an aqueous HF/AgNO3 solution. We show that the etch rate of Si, and consequently, the SiNW length, is much higher on the lithographically defined areas compared with that on the non-patterned areas. A comparative study of t...
متن کاملAdsorption of metal impurities on H-terminated Si surfaces and their influence on the wet chemical etching of Si
We use first-principles methods to investigate the adsorption of Cu, Pb, Ag, and Mg onto a H-terminated Si surface. We show that Cu and Pb can adsorb strongly while Ag and Mg are fairly inert. In addition, adsorption states of two types are seen to exist for Pb. We also study the clustering energetics of Cu and Pb on the surface and find that while Cu clusters eagerly, Pb may prefer to form onl...
متن کاملFabrication and photocatalytic properties of silicon nanowires by metal-assisted chemical etching: effect of H2O2 concentration
In the current study, monocrystalline silicon nanowire arrays (SiNWs) were prepared through a metal-assisted chemical etching method of silicon wafers in an etching solution composed of HF and H2O2. Photoelectric properties of the monocrystalline SiNWs are improved greatly with the formation of the nanostructure on the silicon wafers. By controlling the hydrogen peroxide concentration in the et...
