چکیده
Silicon carbide (SiC) is a wide bandgap third-generation semiconductor well suited for harsh environment power electronics, micro and nano electromechanical systems, emerging quantum technology by serving as hosts states via defect centers. The chemical inertness of SiC limits viable etching techniques to plasma-based reactive ion methods; however, these could have significant undesirable effects electronic photonic devices. This paper presents plasma-free, open-circuit, photo-induced metal-assisted etch fabricating nanoscale features without the inherent high energy ion-related surface damage. method presented herein utilizes above ultraviolet light, patterned noble metal (Pt), solution consisting an oxidant potassium persulfate (K2S2O8) acid, hydrofluoric spatially define morphology. parameter space comprehensively explored demonstrate controllability versatility this technique produce ordered arrays structures with porous or solid sidewalls, elucidate mechanism.

متن کاملSilicon carbide nanostructures: a tight binding approach.
A tight-binding model Hamiltonian is newly parametrized for silicon carbide based on fits to a database of energy points calculated within the density functional theory approach of the electronic energy surfaces of nanoclusters and the total energy of bulk 3C and 2H polytypes at different densities. This TB model includes s and p angular momentum symmetries with nonorthogonal atomic basis funct...
متن کاملAntireflective silicon nanostructures with hydrophobicity by metal-assisted chemical etching for solar cell applications
We present broadband antireflective silicon (Si) nanostructures with hydrophobicity using a spin-coated Ag ink and by subsequent metal-assisted chemical etching (MaCE). Improved understanding of MaCE, by conducting parametric studies on optical properties, reveals a design guideline to achieve considerably low solar-weighted reflectance (SWR) in the desired wavelength ranges. The resulting Si n...
متن کاملFlow in micro porous silicon carbide
Flow in porous Silicon Carbide (SiC) has been investigated in order to increase the understanding of the determining parameters. Porous SiC is used in the fabrication of ceramic membranes, for use in cross-flow and dead-end filtration. Therefore, a description of the flow would help to design more efficient filtration modules, and to improve the use of the existing modules. The investigation pe...

In this paper metal-assisted chemical etching has been applied to pattern porous silicon regions and silicon nanohole arrays in submicron period simply by using positive photoresist as a mask layer. In order to define silicon nanostructures, Metal-assisted chemical etching (MaCE) was carried out with silver catalyst. Provided solution (or materiel) in combination with laser interference lithogr...
