Abstract

Surface functionalization of silicon wafers using nanoscale fabrication techniques has attracted a great deal of interest for its promising photonic applications ranging from energy harvesting to sensing and imaging. The surfaces so produced offer also exciting physical properties particularly optical emission and light trapping in a broad spectral range. Several approaches have been used to demonstrate the possibility of producing such functional surfaces using plasma processing, pulsed laser ablation, etc. However, the investigation of a detailed radiative dynamical properties of the recombination processes is still lacking a detailed knowledge. Here, we present the results of the investigation of optical properties of nano sized silicon quantum pillar arrays using advanced characterization techniques.
