A new approach to the fabrication of Silicon nanowires arrays by nanosphere self-assembly lithography and Deep RIE has been developed in the framework of the cooperation between TU Braunschweig and INRiM. Read more on the fabrication process [...]
Nanowires samples delivered
WP1 and WP4 Nanowires samples produced at INRiM by nanospheres lithography and Metal Assisted Chemical Etching have been delivered to PTB, LNE, VSL, DFM and GUM for dimensional metrology measurements on June 2021. Read more on the fabrication process and on the WP1 and WP4 tasks & deliverables [...]Silicon NanoWires by MACE
The silicon nanowires at INRiM are extruded by a metal mask with MACE (Metal Assisted Chemical Etching) technique and covered by 40 nm of gold deposition. [...]Nanowires forest
Extruded by a holey metal mask, a residual is visible at the image centre, by means of a liquid chemical etching in HF and hydrogen peroxide. [...]What are NanoWires?
Nanowires are structures in cylindrical form with straight or curved aspects. They have lengths in the range of a few micrometers [...]On Monday the 10th and 11th of July 2023, at the PTB premises in Braunschweig, the Nanowires final meeting in conjunction with the 3rd Stakeholders webinar have been held .

Energy harvesting from renewable sources (solar, heat and movement) is a prominent solution to create small amounts of electrical energy in areas of difficult access, and energy harvesting devices have much potential to address our world energy problems.
Nanowire (NW) based energy harvesting systems have achieved encouraging progress, but due to nanometre (nm) dimensions of the wires and large size (square meter) of the devices, they also bring challenges for testing and characterisation.
This project aims to develop reliable and high throughput metrology for the quality control of NW energy harvesting systems. Read more
