High Frequency Optoelectromechanical Nanocrystalline Silicon Nanobeams

Nano-optoelectromechanics is an emerging field with prospects for efficient and low-power devices for information technology operating at GHz frequency range. To capitalize the prospects, a flexible and up-scalable technology platform has to be established. Nanocrystalline silicon has only recently been used in nano-optoelectromechanical systems with very promising results. Here we investigate further the properties of nanocrystalline silicon relevant for optoelectromechanics and demonstrate operation of nanobeams at several gigahertz frequencies.

`We developed a #hydrogel infusion-based additive manufacturing (AM) technique using two-photon #lithography to produce metals in prescribed 3D-shapes with ∼100 nm feature resolution. We demonstrate hierarchical microstructures of as-AM-fabricated Ni #nanopillars (D ∼ 130–330 nm) to be #nanoporous and #nanocrystalline, with d ∼ 30–50 nm nanograins subtending each ligament in bamboo-like arrangements and pores with critical dimensions comparable to d.`
