摘要:
A nanowire product and process for fabricating it has a wafer with a buried oxide (BOX) upper layer in which a well is formed and the ends of a nanowire are on the BOX layer forming a beam that spans the well. A mask coating is formed on the upper surface of the BOX layer leaving an uncoated window over a center part of the beam and also forming a mask coating around the beam intermediate ends between each end of the beam center part and a side wall of the well. Applying oxygen through the window thins the beam center part while leaving the wire intermediate ends over the well thicker and having a generally arched shape. A thermal oxide coating can be placed on the wire and also the mask on the BOX layer before oxidation.
摘要:
A method of multilevel microfabrication processing is provided. The method includes providing a planar substrate that comprises one or more material layers. A first hardmask layer placed on top of the substrate is patterned into the lithographic pattern desired for the top lithographic layer. Subsequent hardmask layers are patterned until the number of hardmask layers equals the number of lithographic layers desired. The method includes etching into the substrate and stripping the top hardmask layer. Furthermore, the method includes alternating etching into the substrate and stripping the subsequent hardmask layers until the bottom hardmask layer is stripped.
摘要:
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.
