Bulk quantities of single-crystal silicon micro-/nanoribbons generated from bulk wafers.

Printable Single-Crystal Silicon Micro/Nanoscale Ribbons, Platelets and Bars Generated from Bulk Wafers

Printable or solution processable semiconductor materials have attracted significant attention recently due to their potential to enable cost effective, non-vacuum based fabrication approaches for large area electronics, often referred to as macroelectronics, and particularly to systems that use low cost plastic substrates. Several classes of semiconducting small molecule and polymer materials ...

Deterministic assembly of releasable single crystal silicon-metal oxide field- effect devices formed from bulk wafers

One-dimensional single-crystalline bismuth oxide micro/nanoribbons: morphology-controlled synthesis and luminescent properties.

Based on a facile vapor-phase transport method without any catalyst and template, one-dimensional single-crystalline bismuth oxide (Bi2O3) micro/nanoribbons were fabricated on silicon substrates in large quantities and morphology-controlled fabrication of Bi2O3 was achieved from a single precursor. The widths of Bi2O3 ribbons varied from 0.2 to 20 microm depending on the deposition temperatures...

Temperature - Dependent Thermal Conductivity of Single - Crystal Silicon Layers in SOI Substrates

Self heating diminishes the reliability of silicon-on-insulator (SOI) transistors, particularly those that must withstand electrostatic discharge (ESD) pulses. This problem is alleviated by lateral thermal conduction in the silicon device layer, whose thermal conductivity is not known. The present work develops a technique for measuring this property and provides data for layers in wafers fabri...

Applications of the Quasi - Steady - State Photoconductance Technique

The main applications of photoconductance measurements of silicon wafers are the determination of implicit device voltages, bulk minority carrier lifetimes, emitter recombination currents and surface recombination velocities. These applications are illustrated with selected experiments. Multicrystalline and single crystal silicon wafers are used with different surface conditions. The practical ...
