Strain Engineered Silicon Nanomembranes

Show affiliations


Very thin, crystalline semiconductor membranes represent a new nanosystem with very high potential for both technology and novel science. This article reviews aspects of the fabrication and properties of silicon-based nanomembranes and nanowires, including processing, strain engineering, and electronic transport. Particular emphasis is on elastic strain sharing, in which significantly strained single-crystal sheets or novel nanoshapes can be made.
