SiC: An excellent platform for single-photon detection and emission

Untitled

“…In addition to being used as a buffer layer, porous silicon carbide is also promising for light emitting diodes, photodetectors, sensors, and substrates for epitaxial deposition [6][7][8]. In addition, as shown in [6,[9][10][11] one can use the possibility of creating the fluorescent white LEDs based on SiC and por-SiC. The developed por-SiC surface and presence of a large number of surface bonds that are formed during etching can serve as adsorption centers for various molecules of analytes or traps (sticking centers), which allows one to consider por-SiC as a promising material for creating the sensor devices based on it [5,[12][13][14][15].…”
