Recently, the SOI materials and devices research group of the State Key Laboratory of Functional Materials for Informatics, Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology (SIMIT), Chinese Academy of Sciences, made important progress in the research on the broad-spectrum photoluminescence from silicon nanowire arrays. The research team studied the luminescence properties of the silicon nanowire arrays by combining SOI with surface plasmons technology, and cooperated with Fudan University to calculate the corresponding relationship of the photoluminescence peak position of silicon nanowire and nanocavity resonant mode [ Learn more ]

Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology made important progress in the controlled preparation study of graphene nanoribbons. Researcher Wang Haimin’s team of State Key Laboratory of Functional Materials for Informatics achieved controlled growth of graphene nanoribbons in hexagonal boron nitride trenches for the first time internationally, successfully opened the graphene bandgap, and verified its excellent electrical properties at room temperature, which provided a possible technical path for the development of graphene digital circuit.[ Learn more ]

Recently, the SOI (Silicon on insulator) Materials and Devices Research Group of the State Key Laboratory of Functional Materials for Informatics, Shanghai Institute of Microsystem and Information Technology (SIMIT), Chinese Academy of Sciences, made important progress in the research on the preparation of graphene directly on the insulating substrates. The preparation of graphene on insulator is an important basic condition to promote the application of graphene in the field of microelectronics. In response to this demand, the SOI Materials and Devices Research Group researchers used germanium thin films as catalysts and successfully prepared high-quality monolayer graphene material on silicon dioxide, sapphire, quartz glass and other i...[ Learn more ]
