Control of the orientation, diameter, and length of silicon nanowires (SiNWs) is achieved in large‐scale single‐crystalline SiNW arrays fabricated by a statistical electroless metal deposition technique. Taguchi methods are employed to optimize the diameter control and to understand the influence of all processing factors on the growth. The 〈100〉 directions are found to be the preferred crystallographic orientation of the growing SiNWs (see figure).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
