These unique properties when compared to bulk material make them interesting candidates for new technologies. In a race to sustain Moore's Law, silicon nanowires which possess remarkable properties diverse from bulk-silicon have gained notable attention. With advancement in technology engineers have mastered the art of fabrication of nanowires, but there exists a big gap in understanding various phenomena at this scale. The aim of this work is to bridge the gap and give an insight into some interesting properties and application of silicon nanowires. Using top-down lithography Silicon nanowires are fabricated and various mechanical and electrical properties are studied. The use of functionalized silicon nanowires for gas detection is demonstrated with very large sensitivity and detection window reported for the first time.

Book Synopsis Fabrication and Characterization of Nanowires by : Francis R. Phillips

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The use of nanostructures has become very common throughout high-tech industries. In order to enhance the applicability of Shape Memory Alloys (SMAs) in systems such as Nano-Electromechanical Systems, the phase transformation behavior of SMA nanostructures should be explored. The primary focus of this work is on the fabrication of metallic nanowires and the characterization of the phase transformation of SMA nanowires. Various metallic nanowires are fabricated through the use of the mechanical pressure injection method. The mechanical pressure injection method is a template assisted nanowire fabrication method in which an anodized aluminum oxide (AAO) template is impregnated with liquid metal. The fabrication procedure of the AAO templates is analyzed in order to determine the effect of the various fabrication steps. Furthermore, metallic nanowires are embedded into polymeric nano bers as a means to incorporate nanowires within other nanostructures. The knowledge obtained through the analysis of the AAO template fabrication guides the fabrication of SMA nanowires of various diameters. The fabrication of SMA nanowires with di fferent diameters is accomplished through the fabrication of AAO templates of varying diameters. The phase transformation behavior of the fabricated SMA nanowires is characterized through transmission electron microscopy. By analyzing the fabricated SMA nanowires, it is found that none of the fabricated SMA nanowires exhibit a size eff ect on the phase transformation. The lack of a size e ffect on the phase transition of SMA nanowires is contrary to the results for SMA nanograins, nanocrystals, and thin films, which all exhibit a size eff ect on the phase transformation. The lack of a size eff ect is further studied through molecular dynamic simulations. These simulations show that free-standing metallic nanowires will exhibit a phase transformation when their diameters are sufficiently small. Furthermore, the application of a constraint on metallic nanowires will inhibit the phase transformation shown for unconstrained metallic nanowires. Therefore, it is concluded that free-standing SMA nanowires will exhibit a phase transformation throughout the nanoscale, but constrained SMA nanowires will reach a critical size below which the phase transformation is inhibited.

Book Synopsis Fabrication and Characterization of Vertical Silicon Nanowire Arrays by : Jeffrey M. Weisse
Download or read book Fabrication and Characterization of Vertical Silicon Nanowire Arrays written by Jeffrey M. Weisse and published by . This book was released on 2013 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thermoelectric devices, which convert temperature gradients into electricity, have the potential to harness waste heat to improve overall energy efficiency. However, current thermoelectric devices are not cost-effective for most applications due to their low efficiencies and high material costs. To improve the overall conversion efficiency, thermoelectric materials should possess material properties that closely resemble a "phonon glass" and an "electron crystal". The desired low thermal and high electrical conductivities allow the thermoelectric device to maintain a high temperature gradient while effectively transporting current. Unfortunately, thermal transport and electrical transport are a closely coupled phenomena and it is difficult to independently engineer each specific conduction mechanism in conventional materials. One strategy to realize this is to generate nanostructured silicon (e.g. silicon nanowires (SiNWs)), which have been shown to reduce thermal conductivity ([kappa]) through enhanced phonon scattering while theoretically preserving the electronic properties; therefore, improving the overall device efficiency. The ability to suppress phonon propagation in nanostructured silicon, which has a bulk phonon mean free path ~ 300 nm at 300 K, has raised substantial interest as an ultra-low [kappa] material capable of reducing the thermal conductivity up to three orders of magnitude lower than that of bulk silicon. While the formation of porous silicon and SiNWs has individually been demonstrated as promising methods to reduce [kappa], there is a lack of research investigating the thermal conductivity in SiNWs containing porosity. We fabricated SiNW arrays using top-down etching methods (deep reactive ion etching and metal-assisted chemical etching) and by tuning the diameter with different patterning methods and tuning the internal porosity with different SiNW etching conditions. The effects of both the porosity and the SiNW dimensions at the array scale are investigated by measuring [kappa] of vertical SiNW arrays using a nanosecond time-domain thermoreflectance technique. In addition to thermoelectric devices, vertical SiNW arrays, due to their anisotropic electronic and optical properties, large surface to volume ratios, resistance to Li-ion pulverization, ability to orthogonalize light absorption and carrier transport directions, and trap light, make vertical SiNW arrays important building blocks for various applications. These may include sensors, solar cells, and Li-ion batteries. Many of these applications benefit from vertical SiNW arrays fabricated on non-silicon based substrates which endow the final devices with the properties of flexibility, transparency, and light-weight while removing any performance limitation of the silicon fabrication substrate. We then developed two vertical transfer printing methods (V-TPMs) that are used to detach SiNW arrays from their original fabrication substrates and subsequently attach them to any desired substrate while retaining their vertical alignment over a large area. The transfer of vertically aligned arrays of uniform length SiNWs is desirable to remove the electrical, thermal, optical, and structural impact from the fabrication substrate and also to enable the integration of vertical SiNWs directly into flexible and conductive substrates. Moreover, realization of a thermoelectric device requires the formation of electrical contacts on both sides of the SiNW arrays. We formed metallic contacts on both ends of the SiNW arrays with a mechanical supporting and electrical insulating polymer in between. Electrical characterization of the SiNW devices exhibited good current-voltage (I-V) characteristics independent of substrates materials and bending conditions. We believe the V-TPMs developed in this work have great potential for manufacturing practical thermoelectric devices as well as high performing, scalable SiNW array devices on flexible and conducting substrates.
