Enhanced Optical Transmission through MacEtch-Fabricated Buried Metal Gratings.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Metallic films with subwavelength apertures, integrated into a semiconductor by metal-assisted chemical etch (MacEtch), demonstrate enhanced transmission when compared to bare semiconductor surfaces. The resulting "buried" metallic structures are characterized spectroscopically and modeled using rigorous coupled wave analysis. These composite materials offer potential integration with optoelectronic devices, for simultaneous near-uniform electrical contact and strong optical coupling to free space.

Versatile control of metal-assisted chemical etching for vertical silicon microwire arrays and their photovoltaic applications
A systematic study was conducted into the use of metal-assisted chemical etching (MacEtch) to fabricate vertical Si microwire arrays, with several models being studied for the efficient redox reaction of reactants with silicon through a metal catalyst by varying such parameters as the thickness and morphology of the metal film. By optimizing the MacEtch conditions, high-quality vertical Si micr...

We demonstrate GaAs pillar array-based light emitting diodes (LEDs) with axial p-in junctions fabricated using a room-temperature metal-assisted chemical etching (MacEtch) method. Variations in vertical etch rates for all three doping types of GaAs are investigated as a function of etching temperature, oxidant/acid concentration ratio, and dilution of the etching solution. Control over nanopill...

متن کاملOptical Phased Array Using Single Crystalline Silicon High-Contrast- Gratings for Beamsteering
We present a single crystalline silicon optical phased array using high-contrast-gratings (HCG) for fast two dimensional beamforming and beamsteering at 0.5 MHz. Since there are various applications for beamforming and beamsteering such as 3D imaging, optical communications, and light detection and ranging (LIDAR), it is great interest to develop ultrafast optical phased arrays. However, the be...
