Transfer of an ultrathin single-crystal silicon film from a silicon-on-insulator to a polymer

Ultrathin silicon-on-insulator vertical tunneling transistor

We have fabricated silicon-on-insulator ~SOI! transistors with an ultrathin Si channel of ;5 nm, tunneling gate oxide of ;1 nm, and 100 nm gate length. In addition to good transistor characteristics, these same devices exhibit additional functionality at low temperature. The drain current ID exhibits steps near the turn-on threshold voltage as a function of the backgate VBG bias on the substrat...

An unusual magnetoresistance effect in the heterojunction structure of an ultrathin single-crystal Pb film on silicon substrate.

Superconductor films on semiconductor substrates have drawn much attention recently since the derived superconductor-based electronics have been shown to be promising for future data processing and storage technologies. By growing atomically uniform single-crystal epitaxial Pb films of several nanometers thick on Si wafers to form a sharp superconductor-semiconductor heterojunction, we have obt...

Ultrathin tunnel insulator films on silicon for electrochemiluminescence studies

the aesthetic dimension of howard barkers art: a frankfurtian approach to scenes from an execution and no end of blame

رابطه ی میانِ هنر و شرایطِ اجتماعیِ زایش آن همواره در طولِ تاریخ دغدغه ی ذهنی و دل مشغولیِ اساسیِ منتقدان و نیز هنرمندان بوده است. از آنجا که هنر در قفس آهنیِ زندگیِ اجتماعی محبوس است، گسترش وابستگیِ آن با نهاد ها و اصولِ اجتماعی پیرامون، صرفِ نظر از هم سو بودن و یا غیرِ هم سو بودنِ آن نهاد ها، امری اجتناب ناپذیر به نظر می رسد. با این وجود پدیدار گشتنِ چنین مباحثِ حائز اهمییتی در میان منتقدین، با ظهورِ مکتب ما...

Silicon photonics beyond silicon-on-insulator

The standard platform for silicon photonics has been ridge or channel waveguides fabricated on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers. SOI waveguides are so versatile and the technology built around it is so mature and popular that silicon photonics is almost regarded as synonymous with SOI photonics. However, due to several shortcomings of SOI photonics, novel platforms have been recently emerging....
