Due to the high surface to volume silicon ratio and unique quasi onedimensional electronic structure, silicon nanowire based devices have properties that can outperform their traditional counterparts in many ways. To fabricate silicon nanowires, in principle there are a variety of different approaches. These can be classified into top-down and bottom-up methods. The choice of fabrication method is strongly linked to the target application. From an application point of view, electron devices…

Donor deactivation in silicon nanostructures.
TLDR
It is shown that the donor ionization energy increases with decreasing nanowire radius, and that it profoundly modifies the attainable free carrier density at values of the radius much larger than those at which quantum and dopant surface segregation effects set in.
