We present a study of the giant piezoresistance effect in p-type silicon using full-band Monte Carlo simulation based on 30-band k.p calculation. This effect has been demonstrated experimentally in Si nanowires by He and Yang. By including the well-known strain effect on the band structure, and by introducing a law of variation of the surface potential according to the applied mechanical stress, we can reproduce this effect. This variation of surface potential modulates the depletion depth and then the conductivity of the structure. This modulation induces a strong variation of the total amount of carriers available for the conduction, which increases drastically this piezoresistive effect. This is probably the main origin of this effect, which may be used to achieve high performance MEMS sensors.

Heterojunctions composed of single p-type CdS nanoribbons (NRs) and n-type silicon (Si) were successfully fabricated and can be applied as fast-speed self-driven visible photodetectors.
