Edge-induced flattening in the fabrication of ultrathin freestanding crystalline silicon sheets

(author unknown)



Gokul Gopalakrishnan, David A. Czaplewski, and Kyle M. McElhinny et al.

Silicon nanomembranes are suspended single-crystal sheets of silicon, tens of nanometers thick, with areas in the thousands of square micrometers. Challenges in fabrication arise from buckling due to strains of over 10−3 in the silicon-on-insulator starting material. In equilibrium, the distortion ... [Appl. Phys.
