Abstract:
The silicon based technologies are certainly favored because of material abundance and non-toxicity at a high level of materials control and understanding together with a huge industrial infrastructure to account for low production/processing costs and high production yields. This article comprises a comprehensive review of new observation in silicon material grown by top-down or bottom-up technologies which can be useful for the future optoelectronic applications, especially in energy sector.
