ABSTRACTA model is presented for the high temperature transport properties of large grain size, heavily doped p-type silicon-germanium alloys. Good agreement with experiment (±10%) is found by considering acoustic phonon and ionized impurity scattering for holes and phonon-phonon, point defect and hole-phonon scattering for phonons. Phonon scattering by holes is found to be substantially weaker than phonon scattering by electrons, which accounts for the larger thermal conductivity values of ptype silicon-germanium alloys compared to similarly doped n-type silicongermanium alloys. The relatively weak scattering of long-wavelength phonons by holes raises the possibility that p-type silicon-germanium alloys may be improved for thermoelectric applications by the addition of an additional phonon scattering mechanism which is effective on intermediate and long-wavelength phonons. Calculations indicate improvements in the thermoelectric figure of merit up to 40% may be possible by incorporating several volume percent of 20 Å radius inclusions into p-type silicon-germanium alloys.

Vertically aligned zinc oxide nanorods were grown on low and high temperature deposited aluminium doped zinc oxide seed layer by hydrothermal method and annealed to improve crystallinity. The morphology of the seed layer and the grown nanorods were studied by field emission scanning electron microscopy characterization technique. The properties of the zinc oxide nanorods were analyzed using laser spectroscopic studies. Resonant Raman spectroscopy reveals the unique increase in the A1(LO) mode of vibration with increase in count. The luminescence property of the nanorods was studied with photoluminescence spectrometer. The vertically aligned zinc oxide nanorods show, the very high band edge emission in the ultraviolet region of the electromagnetic spectrum. DOI: 10.21883/FTP.2017.12.45186.8562

Though copper nano-pillars (CNPs) filled in anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) film has been developed for many years, the high pore-filling percentage in AAO is still a bottleneck. We have demonstrated a new electrodeposition method to fill CNPs in AAO without the seed layer which is required in the traditional electrodeposition process. CNPs with uniform heights were obtained and the pore-filling percentage reached up to 97.5%. Low current density is beneficial for the high pore-filling percentage due to the uniform growing rate in different nanoscale pores. The high temperature increased the diffusion velocity of ions and enhanced the pore filling percentage but also corroded the AAO film simultaneously. Results showed that CNPs grains with <220> orientation were fabricated. Electrodeposition with low electric current could contribute to the forming of CNPs with (220) preferred orientation due to the promotion of dehydration reduction processes. The thermal conductivities of Cu-AAO interposers reaches 92.34 W/(m·K) and 3.19 W/(m·K) in vertical and horizontal directions, respectively.

Silicon nanowires obtained by a top-down approach have been carburized at high temperature and atmospheric pressure with two different gaseous precursors: CH4 and C3H8. These processes reveal core silicon / shell 3C-SiC nanowires. After being characterized by SEM, FIB-SEM and TEM microscopies, the 3C-SiC layer has been used as seed layer for the growth of epitaxial 3C-SiC on the nanowires. Preferential growth of 3C-SiC on the sidewalls of nanowires has been observed. Thanks to the biocompatibility of SiC compared to Si, this layer could act as a protective shell for biosensors based on Si nanowires transistor.
