Abstract

Silicon nanowires (SiNWs) attract growing interest due to their high multi-functional potential, spanning from energy harvesting and storage, thermoelectricity, and protein detection to gas sensing applications.

A narrow distribution in properties (length, diameter, doping levels) and microscopic arrangement are sought-after for most applications for which reducing materials production costs is often a necessary condition for development. Specific arrangement of silicon nanowires vertically or even horizontally

Abstract

Graphene and other 2D materials can be produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) processing.  CVD processing can also be used to manufacture many 1D nanomaterials such as carbon nanotubes and silicon nanowires as well as for a wide range of film depositions and other related surface modifications.  The related CVD substrates can be rigid or flexible, and can be in continuous rolls or discrete stacks.

Abstract

Graphene, carbon nanotubes (CNTs), silicon nanowires (SiNWs) and many other nanomaterials and thin films can be produced on flexible, often metallic, substrates using chemical vapour deposition (CVD) based processing. CVD tools can be implemented in many different ways to produce a wide range of material compositions and geometries (OD, 1D, 2D and 3D).

Most traditional style CVD tools are limited in production volume
