Abstract:
In one embodiment of the present invention, an electronic device includes a first emitter/collector region and a second emitter/collector region disposed in a substrate. The first emitter/collector region has a first edge/tip, and the second emitter/collector region has a second edge/tip. A gap separates the first edge/tip from the second edge/tip. The first emitter/collector region, the second emitter/collector region, and the gap form a field emission device.

Abstract:
A method of transferring graphene onto a target substrate having cavities and/or holes or onto a substrate having at least one water soluble layer is disclosed. It comprises the steps of: applying a protective layer (4) onto a sample comprising a stack (20) formed by a graphene monolayer (2) grown on a metal foil or on a metal thin film on a silicon substrate (1); attaching to said protective layer (4) a frame (5) comprising at least one outer border and at least one inner border, said frame (5) comprising a substrate and a thermal release adhesive polymer layer, the frame (5) providing integrity and allowing the handling of said sample; removing or detaching said metal foil or metal thin film on a silicon substrate (1); once the metal foil or metal thin film on a silicon substrate (1) has been removed or detached, drying the sample; depositing the sample onto a substrate (7); removing said frame (5) by cutting through said protective layer (4) at said at least one inner border of the frame (5) or by thermal release.

Abstract:
Provided is a method for manufacturing a silicon nanowire array comprising the steps of: positioning plastic particles separated apart from one another in a uniform random pattern on a silicon substrate; forming a catalyst layer between the plastic particles; removing the plastic particles; vertically etching portions of the silicon substrate that contact the catalyst layer; and removing the catalyst layer. The present invention provides a simple and cost-effective process, enables mass-production through large surface area processing, enables the manufacture of nanowire even at a site having limited resources, and enables the structures of nanowire to be individually controlled.
