Annealing and Activating Silicon Nanowires with a Laser

Hank Hogan

In electronics, smaller is almost always better. That has been further illustrated by a recent study on annealing silicon nanowires by University of California, Berkeley, researchers in collaboration with Nanosys Inc. of Palo Alto, Calif. Silicon nanowires could be deposited onto plastic substrates to make large-area and inexpensive flexible displays and sensor arrays. Silicon nanowires melt and anneal at much lower light intensities than bulk silicon, as shown in these images. On top (a) are dark-field optical images of P-type silicon nanowires after excimer laser pulses of a given...Read full article
