Effect of Silicon Nanowire on Crystalline Silicon Solar Cell Characteristics

Nanowires (NWs) are recently used in several sensor or actuator devices to improve their ordered characteristics. Silicon nanowire (Si NW) is one of the most attractive one-dimensional nanostructures semiconductors because of its unique electrical and optical properties. In this paper, silicon nanowire (Si NW), is synthesized and characterized for application in photovoltaic device. Si NWs are ...

Packaging Design with Thermal Analysis of LED on Silicon Substrate

In this paper, we demonstrate a package method for a package component of LED (Light Emitting Diode) using state of the art MEMS technologies and careful materials selection such as using a silicon substrate to dissipate heat and match thermal expansion coefficient (CTE). The objective is to develop an LED package that can overcome LED life, high operating voltage, package degradation and the a...

Germanium-on-Silicon for Integrated Silicon Photonics

To meet the unprecedented demands for data transmission speed and bandwidth silicon integrated photonics that can generate, modulate, process and detect light signals is being developed. Integrated silicon photonics that can be built using existing CMOS fabrication facilities offers the tantalizing prospect of a scalable and cost-efficient solution to replace electrical interconnects. Silicon, ...

Silicon photonics beyond silicon-on-insulator

The standard platform for silicon photonics has been ridge or channel waveguides fabricated on silicon-on-insulator (SOI) wafers. SOI waveguides are so versatile and the technology built around it is so mature and popular that silicon photonics is almost regarded as synonymous with SOI photonics. However, due to several shortcomings of SOI photonics, novel platforms have been recently emerging....
