A High-Density Array of Size-Controlled Silicon Nanodots in a Silicon Oxide Nanowire by Electron-Stimulated Oxygen Expulsion | Nano Letters - ACS Publications
We report a novel fabrication method for a high-density array of size-controlled sillicon nanodots from a silicon oxide nanowire using electron-beam irradiation. Our results demonstrate that a highly ...

A small-size polarization splitter based on a planar optical phased array
A device is proposed in which the dispersive properties of an array of bent optical waveguides are utilized for splitting the two polarizations present in the input waveguide. An experimental device ...

Fabrication of Sub-10-nm Silicon Nanowire Arrays by Size Reduction Lithography
A photolithography-based method capable of size reduction to produce sub-10-nm Si nanowire arrays on a wafer scale is described. By conformally depositing a material (silicon oxide or silicon) that ...

Selective Flexibility: Creating Domain-Specific Reconfigurable Arrays - IEEE Xplore
Historically, hardware acceleration technologies have either been application-specific, therefore lacking in flexibility, or fully programmable, thereby suffering from notable inefficiencies on an ...
