Abstract :
Single crystal semiconductor nanoparticles provide a novel path to monolithic integration of lattice mismatched and even chemically incompatible materials. This in turn provides an avenue to reliable, high performance, integrated information systems that go well beyond today´s integrated circuits. This paper reviews aspects of this work including single crystal silicon nanoparticle transistors and full-spectrum silicon quantum dots as light emitting structures.
