Process For Fabricating Nanowire Arrays

View page
US Patent:
8143143, Mar 27, 2012
Filed:
Apr 14, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/423623
Inventors:
Brent A. Buchine - Watertown MA, US
Faris Modawar - Georgetown TX, US
Marcie R. Black - Lincoln MA, US
International Classification:
H01L 21/20
US Classification:
438478, 257E21219, 977762
Abstract:
A process is provided for etching a silicon-containing substrate to form nanowire arrays. In this process, one deposits nanoparticles and a metal film onto the substrate in such a way that the metal is present and touches silicon where etching is desired and is blocked from touching silicon or not present elsewhere. One submerges the metallized substrate into an etchant aqueous solution comprising HF and an oxidizing agent. In this way arrays of nanowires with controlled diameter and length are produced.

US Patent:
8450599, May 28, 2013
Filed:
Nov 16, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/619092
Inventors:
Brent A. Buchine - Watertown MA, US
Faris Modawar - Georgetown TX, US
Marcie R. Black - Lincoln MA, US
Assignee:
Bandgap Engineering, Inc. - Woburn MA
International Classification:
H01L 31/00
H01L 21/00
US Classification:
136255, 136256, 136261, 438 57, 977948
Abstract:
A photovoltaic device is provided. It comprises at least two electrical contacts, p type dopants and n type dopants. It also comprises a bulk region and nanowires in an aligned array which contact the bulk region. All nanowires in the array have one predominant type of dopant, n or p, and at least a portion of the bulk region also comprises that predominant type of dopant. The portion of the bulk region comprising the predominant type of dopant typically contacts the nanowire array. The photovoltaic devices' p-n junction would then be found in the bulk region. The photovoltaic devices would commonly comprise silicon.

Process For Structuring Silicon

US Patent:
20100092888, Apr 15, 2010
Filed:
Oct 9, 2009
Appl. No.:
12/576490
Inventors:
Brent A. Buchine - Watertown MA, US
Faris Modawar - Georgetown TX, US
Marcie R. Black - Lincoln MA, US
International Classification:
G03F 7/20
B32B 3/10
B32B 15/00
C23F 1/00
H01L 33/00
H01L 31/0216
US Classification:
430296, 428156, 428173, 216 95, 216 49, 216 40, 438 42, 216 24, 216 17, 438 98, 257E33066, 257E31119, 977762
Abstract:
A process for etching a silicon-containing substrate to form structures is provided. In the process, a metal is deposited and patterned onto a silicon-containing substrate (commonly one with a resistivity above 1-10 ohm-cm) in such a way that the metal is present and touches silicon where etching is desired and is blocked from touching silicon or not present elsewhere. The metallized substrate is submerged into an etchant aqueous solution comprising about 4 to about 49 weight percent HF and an oxidizing agent such as about 0.5 to about 30 weight percent HO, thus producing a metallized substrate with one or more trenches. A second silicon etch is optionally employed to remove nanowires inside the one or more trenches.

Silicon Nanowire Arrays On An Organic Conductor

US Patent:
20110024169, Feb 3, 2011
Filed:
Jul 28, 2010
Appl. No.:
12/845557
Inventors:
Brent A. Buchine - Watertown MA, US
Jeff Miller - Cambridge MA, US
Marcie R. Black - Lincoln MA, US
Faris Modawar - Georgetown TX, US
International Classification:
H05K 1/00
C23F 1/24
B82Y 30/00
US Classification:
174258, 174250, 216 13, 977762, 977932
Abstract:
In an aspect of the invention, a process to make a nanowire array is provided. In the process, silicon is deposited onto a conductive substrate comprising an organic material and optionally a conductive layer, thus forming a silicon-containing layer. Nanoparticles are deposited on top of the silicon-containing layer. Metal is deposited on top of the nanoparticles and silicon in such a way that the metal is present and touches silicon where etching is desired and is blocked from touching silicon or not present elsewhere. The metallized substrate is contacted with an etchant aqueous solution comprising about 2 to about 49 weight percent HF and an oxidizing agent.
