Silicon Metal-oxide-semiconductor Quantum Dots for Single-electron Pumping
As mass-produced silicon transistors have reached the nano-scale, their behavior and performances are increasingly affected, and often deteriorated, by quantum mechanical effects such as tunneling through single dopants, scattering via interface defects, and discrete trap charge states. However, progress in silicon technology has shown that these phenomena can be harnessed and exploited for a n...
متن کاملPhotoluminescence of silicon quantum dots in nanospheres.
Si quantum dots (SiQDs) based nanospheres (SiNSs) were prepared via a novel synthetic strategy. These SiNSs were demonstrated to possess unique dot spacing dependent photoluminescence (PL) up-conversion and surface dependent (N modified surface) down-converted PL. It was demonstrated that a small distance between SiQDs (<5 nm) is the necessary condition for the PL up-conversion of SiNSs, while ...
متن کاملConduction mechanisms of silicon oxide/titanium oxide MOS stack structures
During the last years, high-k dielectrics have been studied intensively looking for an alternative material to replace the SiO2 films as gate dielectric in MOS transistors. Different materials and structures have been proposed. An important concern not yet solved, is the interfacial quality between high-k materials and silicon substrate. For this reason, stack structures with SiO2 as an interfa...
متن کاملSilicon quantum dots: fine-tuning to maturity.
Quantum dots in semiconductor heterostructures provide one of the most flexible platforms for the study of quantum phenomena at the nanoscale. The surging interest in using quantum dots for quantum computation is forcing researchers to rethink fabrication and operation methods, to obtain highly tunable dots in spin-free host materials, such as silicon. Borselli and colleagues report in Nanotech...
متن کاملSilicon Quantum Dots for Photovoltaics: A Review
Controlling size and shape of materials on the nanoscale allows to engineer their physical properties. Indeed nanomaterials offer unique opportunities in engineering, microelectronics, life-science, and renewable energies. Conversion of sunlight to electricity is assumed to be of major importance for the supply of electrical energy for future generations. The actual photovoltaic market is domin...
