    Single-electron transitions in one-dimensional native nanostructures
    (Bristol : Institute of Physics Publishing, 2014) Reiche, M.; Kittler, M.; Schmelz, M.; Stolz, R.; Pippel, E.; Uebensee, H.; Kermann, M.; Ortlepp, T.
    Low-temperature measurements proved the existence of a two-dimensional electron gas at defined dislocation arrays in silicon. As a consequence, single-electron transitions (Coulomb blockades) are observed. It is shown that the high strain at dislocation cores modifies the band structure and results in the formation of quantum wells along dislocation lines. This causes quantization of energy levels inducing the formation of Coulomb blockades.

    Process flow to integrate nanostructures on silicon grass in surface micromachined systems
    (Bristol : IOP Publ., 2016) Mehner, H.; Müller, L.; Biermann, S.; Hänschke, F.; Hoffmann, M.
    The process flow to integrate metallic nanostructures in surface micromachining processes is presented. The nanostructures are generated by evaporation of microstructured silicon grass with metal. The process flow is based on the lift-off of a thin amorphous silicon layer deposited using a CVD process. All steps feature a low temperature load beneath 120 °C and high compatibility with many materials as only well-established chemicals are used. As a result metallic nanostructures usable for optical applications can be generated as part of multilayered microsystems fabricated in surface micromachining.
