1c-Si NW

Solar-Tectic LLC presents 1c-Si NW silicon nanowires on single crystal silicon thin-film on ordinary glass. Prior art has had to do with nanowire growth on single crystalline substrates, whereas our technology is about growth of nanowires on non-single crystalline substrates which includes ordinary glass.

Through our patent pending “switching” technique, essentially moving from film growth to nanowire growth by lowering the growth temperature, we create more freedom to control the micro/nano structures of the growth to optimize the overall device structure, without breaking vacuum.
