Optical and electrical properties of silicon nanopillars
2015
The electrical and optical properties of silicon nanopillars (Si NPs) are studied. Electron-beam lithography and reactive ion etching are used for the formation of ordered Si-NP arrays. The Si NPs with a diameter from 60 to 340 nm and a height from 218 to 685 nm are formed. The Si NPs are coated with a TiONx layer with a thickness of 8 nm for chemical and electrical passivation of the surface. Scanning electron microscopy and atomic-force microscopy are used to characterize the obtained structures. The Si-NP arrays acquire various colors when exposed to “bright-field” illumination. The spectra of reflection from the Si-NP arrays in the wavelength range 500–1150 nm are obtained.
