CHALLENGE: 3C-SiCHetero-epitaxiALLy grown on silicon compliancE substrates and new 3C-SiC substrates for sustaiNable wide-band-Gap powEr devices

Challenge is a HORIZON 2020 project financed under the NMBP (Nanotechnologies, advanced Materials, Biotechnology and Production) work programme that studies growth, processing and devices in cubic silicon carbide (3C-SiC).

3C-SiC technology can have a large impact on the future power device market and is particularly suited for implementation in hybrid electrical vehicles

The molecular monolayer doping as an alternative to standard doping methods for semiconductors.

A comprehensive study on the physicochemical and electrical properties

of Si doped with the molecular doping method.

A Perspective on Two-Dimensional Xenes

Buckled two-dimensional Xene sheets

Silicene, germanene and stanene are part of a monoelemental class of two-dimensional (2D) crystals termed 2D-Xenes (X = Si, Ge, Sn and so on) which  may open new reserach frontiers in science at the nanoscale and nanotechnology.  The Perspective proposed by Alessandro Molle (CNR-IMM) et al. on Nature Materials 16, 163 (2017) highlights the current state of the art and future opportunities in the manipulation and stability of these materials, their functions and applications, and novel device concepts.
