In this paper we investigate the infrared thermal emission properties of macroporous silicon with modulated pore diameter. Samples with different pore modulation periodicities but fixed in-plane lattice constant are ...

Negative bias temperature instability (NBTI) is a major cause of concern for chip designers because of its inherent ability to drastically reduce silicon reliability over the lifetime of the processor. Coupled with statistical ...

Latent heat thermophotovoltaic (LHTPV) batteries store electricity as latent heat at very high temperatures (>1,000°C) and convert this heat back to electricity on demand using thermophotovoltaics (TPVs). In this study, ...

In this paper we study a compact gas sensor based on a photonic crystal built from macroporous silicon. Its sensing mechanism is based in the absorption of infrared light by a gas. Photonic crystals are structured materials ...

The knowledge of fundamental silicon questions and all aspects of silicon technology gives the possibility of improvement to both initial silicon material and devices on silicon basis. The articles for this book have been ...

A macroporous silicon layer (ma-PS) electrochemically grown on crystalline silicon surface can be used as an efficient antireflective layer in optical devices as antireflection coating. In this work, we presented the ma-PS ...

In this work, 50-nm thick Al2O3 thin films were deposited at room temperature by magnetron sputtering from an Al2O3 ceramic target at different RF power and argon pressure values. The sputtering technique could be preferred ...

Wireless Network-on-Chip (WNoC) appears as a promising alternative to conventional interconnect fabrics for chip-scale communications. The WNoC paradigm has been extensively analyzed from the physical, network and architecture ...

In this paper, we study the application of macroporous silicon (MpSi) to the fabrication of transistors: Four different FET transistor structures are proposed using MpSi as the base material. These devices have been studied ...
