In this paper we show that the internal quantum efficiency of NiSi Schottky-barrier
photodetectors can be significantly improved as the silicide film thickness is reduced close to …

Infrared imaging is a powerful capability that has been technologically driven primarily by
the defense industry over the past several decades. As a result, ultra-high-performance …

Polycrystalline-silicon thin films on inexpensive substrates provide a low-cost and
straightforward method for the fabrication of inexpensive solar cells. Aluminum-induced …

Despite numerous technological applications associated to nickel silicide thin films, their
formation mechanisms are still far from being understood. We combined experimental and …

Abstract Amorphous Si (a-Si) films with metal silicide are expected to enhance the
absorption ability of pure a-Si films. In this present study, NiSi (20 nm)/Si (40 nm) and AlSi …

Photo-thermal processing assisted by laser irradiation is proposed as a novel method to
control the phase of nickel silicide with reduction in the diffusion of nickel into the silicon …

This study focuses on developing nanostructured metal oxide thin films for solar cell
application. Metal oxides of Nickel Oxide (NiO) and copper II Oxide (CuO) were deposited …

The highly controlled formation of “radial” silicon/NiSi core− shell nanowire heterostructures
has been demonstrated for the first time. Here, we investigated the “radial” diffusion of nickel …
