SiC light emitting quantized structures on silicon by spin-on technique

SiC nanocrystals of size 4×30×40nm have been fabricated on Si (100)3° by a low cost spin-on technique in which Htermination produces smaller crystallites but larger crystallite density at the substrate surface steps. Low temperature photoluminescence and atomic force microscopy (AFM) confirms the formation of quantum dashes. It has been observed that the spin speed and H-termination plays a crucial role in the formation of quantized structures on Si.
