Single-Crystal Silicon Thermoelectrics by Phonon Engineering
Thierno-Moussa Bah, Stanislav Didenko, Di Zhou +6
Herein, we report the use of nanostructured crystalline Si as a thermoelectric material and its integration into thermoelectric harvesters. The proof-of-concept relies on the parti…
Low work function thin film growth for high efficiency thermionic energy converter: Coupled Kelvin probe and photoemission study of potassium oxide
François Morini, Emmanuel Dubois, Jean-François Robillard +2
Recent researches in thermal energy harvesting have revealed the remarkable efficiency of thermionic energy converters comprising very low work function electrodes. From room tempe…
Oxidation-assisted graphene heteroepitaxy on copper foil
Nicolas Reckinger, Xiaohui Tang, Frédéric Joucken +6
We propose an innovative, easy-to-implement approach to synthesize large-area singlecrystalline graphene sheets by chemical vapor deposition on copper foil. This method doubly take…
Anisotropic Vapor HF etching of silicon dioxide for Si microstructure release
Vikram Passi, Ulf Sodervall, Bengt Nilsson +6
Damages are created in a sacrificial layer of silicon dioxide by ion implantation to enhance the etch rate of silicon-dioxide in liquid and vapor phase hydrofluoric acid. The etch…
Energy-band engineering for improved charge retention in fully self-aligned double floating-gate single-electron memories
Xiaohui Tang, Christophe Krzeminski, Aurélien Lecavelier des Etangs-Levallois +9
We present a new fully self-aligned single-electron memory with a single pair of nano floating gates, made of different materials (Si and Ge). The energy barrier that prevents stor…
Schottky barrier lowering with the formation of crystalline Er silicide on n-Si upon thermal annealing
Nicolas Reckinger, Xiaohui Tang Vincent Bayot, Dmitri A. Yarekha +8
The evolution of the Schottky barrier height (SBH) of Er silicide contacts to n-Si is investigated as a function of the annealing temperature. The SBH is found to drop substantiall…
