چکیده
An aqueous ferric nitrate nonahydrate (Fe(NO3)3.9H2O) and magnesium oxide (MgO) were mixed and deposited on silicon nanowires (SiNWs), the carbon nanotubes (CNTs) formed by the concentration of Fe3O4/MgO catalysts with the mole ratio set at 0.15:9.85 and 600°C had diameter between 15.23 to 90nm with high-density distribution of CNT while those with the mole ratio set at 0.45:9.55 and 730°C had diameter of 100 to 230nm. The UV/Vis/NIR and FT-IR spectroscopes clearly confirmed the presence of the silicon-CNTs hybrid structure. UV/Vis/NIR, FT-IR spectra and FESEM images confirmed the silicon-CNT structure exists with diameters ranging between 15-230nm. Thus, the study demonstrated cost effective method of silicon-CNT composite nanowire formation via Iron-oxide Catalyze synthesis.

Investigation of the Performance of Carbon Nanotube and Silicon Nanowire Junctionless Transistors using First–Principle Calculations
In this work, we present atomic scale simulation of junctionless semiconducting single–walled carbon nanotubes field effect transistors (CNT–FETs) and compare their performance to silicon nanowire (SiNW) transistors with similar dimensions. The energy dispersions relations for p–type SiNW and CNT are compared. The response of the transistors to source–drain bias and gate voltage is explored. Co...

This paper reports a versatile nano-sensor technology using "top-down" poly-silicon nanowire field-effect transistors (FETs) in the conventional Complementary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS)-compatible semiconductor process. The nanowire manufacturing technique reduced nanowire width scaling to 50 nm without use of extra lithography equipment, and exhibited superior device uniformity. These n ...

متن کاملImpact of Process Variations on the Vertical Silicon Nanowire Tunneling FET (TFET)
This paper presents device simulations on the vertical silicon nanowire tunneling FET (VSiNW TFET). Simulations show that a narrow nanowire and thin gate oxide is required for good performance, which is expected even for conventional MOSFETs. The gate length also needs to be more than the nanowire diameter to prevent short channel effects. An effect more unique to TFET is the need for abrupt so...
متن کاملPatterned growth of silicon oxide nanowires from iron ion implanted SiO2 substrates.
We demonstrate experimentally a simple and efficient approach for silicon oxide nanowire growth, by implanting Fe(+) ions into thermally grown SiO(2) layers on Si wafers and subsequently annealing in argon and hydrogen to nucleate the nanowires. We study the effect of implantation dose and energy, growth temperature, H(2) gas flow, and growth time on the silicon oxide nanowire growth. We find t...
