Integrated Silicon-Metal Systems at the Nanoscale: Applications in Photonics, Quantum Computing, Networking, and Internet

by Munir H. Nayfeh, Ammar Nayfeh

Overview

Integrated Silicon-Metal Systems at the Nanoscale: Applications in Photonics, Quantum Computing, Networking, and Internet is a comprehensive guide to the interaction, materials and functional integration at the nanoscale of the silicon-metal binary system and a variety of emerging and next-generation advanced device applications, from energy and electronics, to sensing, quantum computing and quantum internet networks. The book guides the readers through advanced techniques and etching processes, combining underlying principles, materials science, design, and operation of metal-Si nanodevices.

Each chapter focuses on a specific use of integrated metal-silicon nanostructures, including storage and resistive next-generation nano memory and transistors, photo and molecular sensing, harvest and storage device electrodes, phosphor light converters, and hydrogen fuel cells, as well as future application areas, such as spin transistors, quantum computing, hybrid quantum devices, and quantum engineering, networking, and internet.

• Provides detailed coverage of materials, design and operation of metal-Si nanodevices
• Offers a step-by-step approach, supported by principles, methods, illustrations and equations
• Explores a range of cutting-edge emerging applications across electronics, sensing and quantum computing
