Single-crystalline silicon nanowire arrays (SiNWAs) using electroless metal-assisted etchings of p-type silicon were successfully fabricated. Ag nanoparticle deposition on silicon wafers in HF solution acted as a localized micro-electrochemical redox reaction process in which both anodic and cathodic process took place simultaneously at the silicon surface to give SiNWAs. The growth effect of SiNWs was investigated by changing of etching times. The morphologies of SiNWAs were obtained by SEM observation. Well-aligned nanowire arrays perpendicular to the surface of the silicon substrate were produced. Optical characteristics of SiNWs were measured by FT-IR spectroscopy and indicated that the surface of SiNWs are terminated with hydrogen. The thicknesses and lengths of SiNWs are typically 150-250 nm and 2 to 5 microns, respectively.

은 나노선은 투명 금속전극으로 저온 공정이 가능하고, 플랙서블 기판에 사용 가능하여 다양한 분야의 응용 소재 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 본 연구에서는 전면 전극으로 은 나노선을 스프레이 코팅하고, 알루미늄 도핑된 산화아연(AZO)을 sputter로 증착하였다. 광 경로를 길게 하기 위해 AZO 기판을 수열합성법을 통해 산화아연 나노선을 성장하였다. 은 나노선 전극 기판과 산화아연 나노선이 성장된 기판의 광 투과도를 분석하기 위해 UV-visible을 이용하였으며, FE-SEM, AFM을 이용하여 각 기판의 형상을 분석하였다. 은 나노선은 500 nm 파장영역에서 투과도 86.93%, 면저항 16 ${\Omega}/{\square}$보였다. ITO 기판보다 400~600 nm 영역에서 헤이즈가 증가되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 산화아연 나노선이 성장된 기판을 이용하여 P3HT:PCBM 블랜딩된 유기 태양전지를 제작하여 전기적 특성 및 효율을 평가하였다.

Molecular electronics has been the subject of intese research for many years because of the fundamental interest in molecular charge transport and potential applications, such as (bio)nanosensors and molecular memory devices. Molecular electronics requires a method for making reliable eletrical contacts to singlemolecules. To date, several approaches have been reported: scanning-probe microscopy, mechanical break junctions, nano patterning, and direct deposition of electrode on a self-assembled monolayers. However, most methods are laborious and difficult for large-scale application and more importantly, cannot control the number of moleucles in the junction. Recently, DNA has been used as a template for metallic nanostructures (e.g., Ag, Pd, and Au nanowires) through DNA metallization process. Furthermore, oligodeoxynucleotides have been tethered to organic molecules by using conventional organic reactions. Collectively, these techniques should provide an efficient route toward reliable and reproducible molecular electronic devices with large-scale fabrication. Therefore, I will present a paradigm for the fabrication of moleuclar electronic devices by using micrometer-sized DNA-singe organic molecule and DNA triblock structures.

Cadmium compounds with one dimension (1D) nanostructures have attracted attention for their excellent electrical and optical properties. In this study, vertically aligned CdTe-Si nanostructures with high density were synthesized by several simple chemical reactions. First, l D Te nanostructures were synthesized by silver assisted chemical Si wafer etching followed by a galvanic displacement reaction of the etched Si nanowires. Nanowire length was controlled from 1 to $25{\mu}m$ by adjusting etching time. The Si nanowire galvanic displacement reaction in $HTeO_2{^+}$ electrolyte created hybrid 1D Te-branched Si nanostructures. The sequential topochemical reaction resulted in $Ag_2Te-Si$ nanostructures, and the cation exchange reaction with the hybrid 1D Te-branched Si nanostructures resulted in CdTe-Si nanostructures. Wet chemical processes including metal assisted etching, galvanic displacement, topochemical and cation exchange reactions are proposed as simple routes to fabricate large scale, vertically aligned CdTe-Si hybrid nanostructures with high density.

We investigated the atomic layer deposition (ALD) process for nitrogen doped ZnO and the application for n-ZnO : N/p-Si (NW) coaxial hetero-junction photodetectors. ALD ZnO:N was deposited using diethylzinc (DEZ) and diluted $NH_4OH$ at $150^{\circ}C$ of substrate temperature. About 100~300 nm diameter and 5 um length of Si nanowires array were prepared using electroless etching technique in 0.108 g of $AgNO_3$ melted 20 ml HF liquid at $75^{\circ}C$. TEM images showed ZnO were deposited on densely packed SiNW structure achieving extraordinary conformality. When UV (360 nm) light was illuminated on n-ZnO:N/p-SiNW, I-V curve showed about three times larger photocurrent generation than film structure at 10 V reverse bias. Especially, at 660 nm wave length, the coaxial structure has 90.8% of external quantum efficiency (EQE) and 0.573 A/W of responsivity.

최근 무전해 식각법을 이용한 실리콘 나노와이어 합성이 다양한 각도에서 이루어지고 있다. 무전해 식각법을 통한 나노와이어 합성은, 단결정 실리콘 기판에 촉매를 올려 기판을 식각할 수 있는데, 이 방법을 이용하여 넓은 면적의 수직방향으로 배열된 10 ~ 300nm 지름의 단결정 실리콘 나노와이어를 합성할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 무전해 식각법으로 boron이 도핑된 p-type실리콘 기판을 식각하여 실리콘 나노와이어를 합성하였고, 단일 나노와이어의 field-effect transistor(FET) 소자가 가지는 전기적 특성에 대하여 분석하였다. 특히 무전해 식각법을 이용하여 나노와이어를 합성할 때, 촉매로 사용되는 Ag particle이 나노와이어에 미치는 영향에 대해서 분석해 보았다. FET 소자의 게이트 절연막은 가장 일반적으로 사용되는 SiO2 (300nm)와 고유전체로 잘 알려진HfO2(80nm)를 사용하여 전기적 특성을 비교하여 보았다. 한편, HfO2 박막은 atomiclayer deposition(ALD)장비를 이용하여 증착하였다. 합성된 실리콘 나노와이어의 경우 X-ray diffraction(XRD)로 결정성을 확인하였으며, high-resolution transmission electron microscopy(HRTEM)으로 결정성 및 나노와이어의 표면 형태를 확인하였다. 전기적 특성은 I-V 측정을 통하여 Ion/Ioff ratio, 이동도, subthreshold swing, subthreshold voltage값을 평가하였다.

Silicon has become of increasing importance as the basic element of many high-technology products. Its synthesis is very difficult requiring high temperature solid-state reactions (> $1000^{\circ}C$) or lower temperature methods ($100-200^{\circ}C$) involving hydrothermal and solvothermal reactions under extreme pH conditions. In nature, on the other hand, a wide range of living organisms have collectively evolved the means of biosilicification at the astounding rate of gigatons/year. This is impressive because biosilicification in these organisms occurs under mild physiological conditions. Marine sponges possess the ability to sequester soluble silicon sources from their environments and assemble them into intricate 3D architecture. The advent of molecular biology has recently made it possible to glean molecular information about biosilicification from these systems and it turned out that enzyme silicatein is the core of biosilicification. In this review, biosilicification regulated by silicatein and its mechanism are described. Also, production of silicatein through recombinant technology and several applications of recombinant silicatein are described including immobilization of silicatein, formation of Au or Ag nanoparticles on nanowires, nanolithography approaches, core-shell materials, encapsulation, bone replacement materials, and microstructured optical fibers.

Joints of three-dimensional (3D) rutile-type (r) tin dioxide ($SnO_2$) nanowire networks, produced by the flame transport synthesis (FTS), are formed by coherent twin boundaries at $(101)^r$ serving for the interpenetration of the nanowires. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) methods, i.e. high resolution and (precession) electron diffraction (PED), were utilized to collect information of the atomic interface structure along the edge-on zone axes $[010]^r$, $[111]^r$ and superposition directions $[001]^r$, $[101]^r$. A model of the twin boundary is generated by a supercell approach, serving as base for simulations of all given real and reciprocal space data as for the elaboration of three-dimensional, i.e. relrod and higher order Laue zones (HOLZ), contributions to the intensity distribution of PED patterns. Confirmed by the comparison of simulated and experimental findings, details of the structural distortion at the twin boundary can be demonstrated.
