On-site growth method of 3D structured multi-layered graphene on silicon nanowires

Epitaxial graphene on silicon carbide: Introduction to structured graphene

We present an introduction to the rapidly growing field of epitaxial graphene on silicon carbide, tracing its development from the original proof-of-concept experiments a decade ago to its present, highly evolved state. The potential of epitaxial graphene as a new electronic material is now being recognized. Whether the ultimate promise of graphene-based electronics will ever be realized remain...

Effect of Dopants on Epitaxial Growth of Silicon Nanowires

We investigated the effects of dopants on epitaxial growth of Si NWs, with an emphasis on synthesizing vertical epitaxial Si NW arrays on Si (111) substrates. We found that addition of boron with a B:Si feed-in atomic ratio greater than 1:1000 improved the percentage of Si NWs grown along the vertical <111> direction to more than 90%, compared to 38% for i-Si NWs. We also demonstrated a stemmed...

Pulsed PECVD Growth of Silicon Nanowires on Various Substrates

Silicon nanowires with high aspect ratio were grown using PPECVD and a gold catalyst on a variety of different substrates. The morphology of the nanowires was investigated for a range of crystalline silicon, glass, metal, ITO coated and amorphous silicon coated glass substrates. Deposition of the nanowires was carried out in a parallel plate PECVD chamber modified for PPECVD using a 1kHz square...
