| 报告介绍 | 报告摘要：
Materials made of nano/micro-structures have unique physical properties, such as fast carrier transport, high surface-to-volume ratio, mechanical flexibility, sub-wavelength optical waveguiding, etc. These intriguing properties can be harnessed for a variety of applications in electronics and photonics. In the past, we have fabricated an assortment of semiconductor nanowires, including Si, Ge, CdSe, InAs, ZnO, etc. We have performed systematic investigations on electronic and optoelectronic properties of these materials by configuring them as transistors, photodiodes and sensors. More importantly, we have developed scalable processes to integrate semiconductor nanowires into ordered arrays for large scale electronic applications. Utilizing these approaches, we have fabricated all-nanowire based high frequency devices and integrated circuits with functionality. In the meantime, we have developed several self-organized approaches to fabricate three-dimensional (3-D) nanostructures. These 3-D structures have demonstrated geometry dependent photon management property thus have promising potential for photonic applications. In particular, we have fabricated 3-D nanopillar arrays, nanospike arrays and nanowell arrays. Optical absorption properties of these nano-engineered structures have been investigated with experimental methods as well as theoretical simulations. To explore their photonic applications, nanopillar and nanospike arrays have been fabricated into photovoltaic devices; preliminary results have shown that they can demonstrate improved performance as compared to planar control samples, indicating their potency for cost-effective solar cells.
