Book Porous Silicon in Practice

Download or read book Porous Silicon in Practice written by M. J. Sailor and published by John Wiley & Sons. This book was released on 2012-01-09 with total page 214 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: By means of electrochemical treatment, crystalline silicon can be permeated with tiny, nanostructured pores that entirely change the characteristics and properties of the material. One prominent example of this can be seen in the interaction of porous silicon with living cells, which can be totally unwilling to settle on smooth silicon surfaces but readily adhere to porous silicon, giving rise to great hopes for such future applications as programmable drug delivery or advanced, braincontrolled prosthetics. Porous silicon research is active in the fields of sensors, tissue engineering, medical therapeutics and diagnostics, photovoltaics, rechargeable batteries, energetic materials, photonics, and MEMS (Micro Electro Mechanical Systems). Written by an outstanding, well-recognized expert in the field, this book provides detailed, step-by-step instructions to prepare and characterize the major types of porous silicon. It is intended for those new to the fi eld. Sampling of topics covered: * Principles of Etching Porous Silicon * Etch Cell Construction and Considerations * Photonic Crystals, Microcavities, and Bragg Stacks Etched in Silicon * Preparation of Free-standing Films and Particles of Porous Silicon * Preparation of Photoluminescent Nanoparticles from Porous Silicon * Preparation of Silicon Nanowires by Electrochemical Etch of Silicon * Surface Modifi cation Chemistry and Biochemistry * Measurement of Optical Properties * Measurement of Pore Size, Porosity, Thickness, Surface Area The whole is backed by a generous use of color photographs to illustrate the described procedures in detail, plus a bibliography of further literature pertinent to a wide range of application fi elds.

Book Handbook of Thin Films  Five Volume Set

Download or read book Handbook of Thin Films Five Volume Set written by Hari Singh Nalwa and published by Academic Press. This book was released on 2001-10-29 with total page 661 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This five-volume handbook focuses on processing techniques, characterization methods, and physical properties of thin films (thin layers of insulating, conducting, or semiconductor material). The editor has composed five separate, thematic volumes on thin films of metals, semimetals, glasses, ceramics, alloys, organics, diamonds, graphites, porous materials, noncrystalline solids, supramolecules, polymers, copolymers, biopolymers, composites, blends, activated carbons, intermetallics, chalcogenides, dyes, pigments, nanostructured materials, biomaterials, inorganic/polymer composites, organoceramics, metallocenes, disordered systems, liquid crystals, quasicrystals, and layered structures. Thin films is a field of the utmost importance in today's materials science, electrical engineering and applied solid state physics; with both research and industrial applications in microelectronics, computer manufacturing, and physical devices. Advanced, high-performance computers, high-definition TV, digital camcorders, sensitive broadband imaging systems, flat-panel displays, robotic systems, and medical electronics and diagnostics are but a few examples of miniaturized device technologies that depend the utilization of thin film materials. The Handbook of Thin Films Materials is a comprehensive reference focusing on processing techniques, characterization methods, and physical properties of these thin film materials.

Book New Developments in Porous Silicon  Relation with Other Nanostructured Porous Materials

Download or read book New Developments in Porous Silicon Relation with Other Nanostructured Porous Materials written by European Materials Research Society. Meeting and published by . This book was released on 1997-12-18 with total page 352 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The symposium entitled "New Developments in Porous Silicon. Relation with Other Nanostructured Porous Materials" took place in Strasbourg on 4-7 June 1996 hosted by the EMRS Society. Its objectives were to assess the recent developments in porous silicon research and make the 'porous Si community' more aware of related porous materials. The 71 papers contained in these proceedings account for about 80% of the work presented at the meeting and cover nine different topic areas. Chapter 1 focuses on some recent advances in porous Si fabrication and a new formation mechanism involving specific point defects, extensions to the basic anodization process for preparing macropore arrays, multilayers as well as both thin and thick high porosity layers and the realisation of luminescent porous structures from device quality &agr;-Si:H material. Controlled chemical modification of the internal surface of porous Si, an important emerging technique for both stabilising, understanding and introducing new functionality into the properties of the material is discussed in chapter 2 along with the new and exciting developments taking place in the nanocomposites area. The papers in chapter 3 discuss photochemical effects, properties of 'wet' and 'dry' porous Si layers and new approaches to characterising 'wet' material along with an important highlight of the symposium - blue emission in oxide-free layers. Chapter 4 covers many new developments and the refining of existing techniques regarding characterising porous Si and chapter 5 reviews the luminescent silicon nanostructures that have been fabricated other than anodization. The presentation of various porous materials and overviews on the fabrication characterisation and applications of porous alumina are covered in chapter 6, and chapter 7 focuses on the growing interest in porous Si multilayer structures and the potential for realising practical SiLEDs with chapter 8 covering the work that has been presented in this field. New applications for porous Si materials which has an enormous world-wide interest is discussed in the final chapter of the proceedings.

Book Black Silicon

Download or read book Black Silicon written by Nuggehalli M. Ravindra and published by Momentum Press. This book was released on 2016-05-31 with total page 97 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The ability to tailor the properties of silicon, by controlling its surface morphology in the form of black silicon, is anticipated to revolutionize silicon photonics. Black Silicon (BSi), one of the approaches to counter the inherent disadvantages of Si, is a surface modification of crystalline Si (c-Si). This book presents a discussion on manufacturing BSi by various methods for morphing the surface of the material, which are economical and easily applicable for mass production. Comparisons of the surfaces of BSi fabricated by various techniques are presented and thermal, electrical, electronic, and optical properties of black silicon are described. Some major applications of BSi have been given and possible future directions in the research and development of BSi and its applications are identified.
