Conclusions.Full-text restricted to subscribers or individual document purchasers.This book explores the fundamentals, process-property relationships, and manufacturing techniques of black silicon. It details various surface morphing methods and compares the resulting structures. The thermal, electrical, electronic, and optical properties of black silicon are examined, along with its major applications. Future directions in research, development, and device manufacturing are discussed. The ability to tailor semiconductor morphology for desired properties adds a new dimension to the physics, materials science, and engineering of these materials. The book also includes a comprehensive summary of intellectual property related to black silicon, highlighting its technological evolution and potential.Universities, national labs, commercial and industry engineers and companies.Also available in print.System requirements: Adobe Acrobat Reader, EPUB reader, or Kindle reader.Mode of access: World Wide Web.Nuggehalli M.
