    摘要: Prototype semiconductor structures each including a semiconductor link portion and two adjoined pad portions are formed by lithographic patterning of a semiconductor layer on a dielectric material layer. The sidewalls of the semiconductor link portions are oriented to maximize hole mobility for a first-type semiconductor structures, and to maximize electron mobility for a second-type semiconductor structures. Thinning by oxidation of the semiconductor structures reduces the width of the semiconductor link portions at different rates for different crystallographic orientations. The widths of the semiconductor link portions are predetermined so that the different amount of thinning on the sidewalls of the semiconductor link portions result in target sublithographic dimensions for the resulting semiconductor nanowires after thinning. By compensating for different thinning rates for different crystallographic surfaces, semiconductor nanowires having optimal sublithographic widths may be formed for different crystallographic orientations without excessive thinning or insufficient thinning.

    摘要: Techniques for fabricating nanowire-based devices are provided. In one aspect, a method for fabricating a semiconductor device is provided comprising the following steps. A wafer is provided having a silicon-on-insulator (SOI) layer over a buried oxide (BOX) layer. Nanowires and pads are etched into the SOI layer to form a ladder-like structure wherein the pads are attached at opposite ends of the nanowires. The BOX layer is undercut beneath the nanowires. The nanowires and pads are contacted with an oxidizing gas to oxidize the silicon in the nanowires and pads under conditions that produce a ratio of a silicon consumption rate by oxidation on the nanowires to a silicon consumption rate by oxidation on the pads of from about 0.75 to about 1.25. An aspect ratio of width to thickness among all of the nanowires may be unified prior to contacting the nanowires and pads with the oxidizing gas.

    摘要: A transparent photodetector. The transparent photodetector includes a substrate; a waveguide on the substrate; a displaceable structure that can be displaced with respect to the substrate, the displaceable structure in proximity to the waveguide; and a silicon nanowire array suspended with respect to the substrate and mechanically linked to the displaceable structure, the silicon nanowire array comprising a plurality of silicon nanowires having piezoresistance. In operation, a light source propagating through the waveguide results in an optical force on the displaceable structure which further results in a strain on the nanowires to cause,a change in electrical resistance of the nanowires. The substrate may be a semiconductor on insulator substrate.
