  • Publication number: 20150004494
    Abstract: The present invention discloses a high electrochemical performance silicon/graphene composite anode structure. The electrochemical properties of silicon in the composite anode structure can be improved by graphene thin films. The thickness of the silicon thin film and the graphene thin films is less than 50 nm to prevent the composite anode structure from any volumetric change during the charge/discharge process. The manufacturing procedure starts with the formation of a Si/graphene unit layer, which includes an amorphous phase upper silicon thin film and a lower graphene thin film, on a copper foil current collector, so as to decrease the difference of conductivity between the silicon thin film and the copper foil current collector. Finally, the deposition is concluded with the formation of a graphene thin film on the topmost surface of the silicon thin film to prevent the surface of the anode structure from oxidation.

  • Patent number: 6894352
    Abstract: A method for fabricating a single-electron transistor (SET). A one dimensional channel is formed between source and drain on a silicon-on-insulator substrate, and the separated polysilicon sidewall spacer gates are formed by electron-beam lithographically etching process in a self-aligned manner. Operation of the single-electron transistor with self-aligned polysilicon sidewall spacer gates is achieved by applying external bias to the self-aligned polysilicon sidewall spacer gates to form two potential barriers and a quantum dot capable of storage charges between the two potential barriers. A metal upper gate is finally formed and biased to induce a two-dimensional electron gas (2DEG) and control the energy level of the quantum well.
