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 کاملLight-emitting silicon pn diodes
We report on the electrical and optical characteristics of silicon light-emitting pn diodes. The diodes are prepared by ion implantation of boron at high doses and subsequent hightemperature annealing. Under forward bias, the diodes emit infrared electroluminescence closely below the band gap of bulk Si. We present a rate-equation model for bound excitons, free excitons and free carriers which ...
متن کاملPassivating electron contact based on highly crystalline nanostructured silicon oxide layers for silicon solar cells
We present a novel passivating contact structure based on a nanostructured silicon-based layer. Traditional poly-Si junctions feature excellent junction characteristics but their optical absorption induces current losses when applied to the solar cell front side. Targeting enhanced transparency, the poly-Si layer is replaced with a mixed-phase silicon oxide/silicon layer. This mixed-phase layer...
متن کاملTransition‐Metal‐Doped NIR‐Emitting Silicon Nanocrystals
Impurity-doping in nanocrystals significantly affects their electronic properties and diversifies their applications. Herein, we report the synthesis of transition metal (Mn, Ni, Co, Cu)-doped oleophilic silicon nanocrystals (SiNCs) through hydrolysis/polymerization of triethoxysilane with acidic aqueous metal salt solutions, followed by thermal disproportionation of the resulting gel into a do...
متن کاملHighly Efficient Silicon Light Emitting Diode
− In this paper, we describe the fabrication, using standard silicon processing techniques, of silicon light-emitting diodes (LED) that efficiently emit photons with energy around the silicon bandgap. The improved efficiency had been explained by the spatial confinement of charge carriers due to a local strain field that is formed by dislocation loop arrays. The dependence of device electrolumi...
