Silicon nanowires
Philips has invented a new method to produce silicon nanowires with much greater efficiency. Electrochemical etching of a pre-indented silicon wafer results in the formation of pores. Under the right conditions, silicon nanowires remain at the points where three pores merge. The new technique yields over 4 billion wires in a single etch step. Silicon nanowires could be used in field emission displays or new types of sensing devices.

NanoLEDs
Nanowires of indium phosphide (InP) are well suited for miniature light-emitting diodes (LEDs) in the yellow and green colour range. The LED is obtained by introducing a junction between differently doped regions within a wire. NanoLEDs are promising for light-emitting displays, integrated optics for communications purposes or light sources.

Quantum dot composites
Particles of inorganic semiconducting material with nanometer scale dimensions ("quantum dots") exhibit size-dependent electronic and optical properties which are different from those of bulk solids. Philips is investigating quantum dots in composites with polymers to combine the favourable properties of inorganic materials with those of polymers. These materials could be used as light-emitting diodes (LEDs) of which the colour is determined by the size of the quantum dots.

An individual carbon nanotube (multiwalled type) molecule is mounted on a tungsten tip and is used as the electron source of a scanning electron microscope. An electron beam drawn from the extremely small apex of the carbon nanotube has a high current and small energy spread, which can be used to increase the resolution of the microscope. The pictures are transmission electron microscope images of the carbon nanotube on the tungsten tip at several magnifications.

Liquid Crystal Helix structures
By controlling the pitch of helically shaped structures of liquid crystals, light reflection in a controlled wavelength is obtained. This can be used to increase the brightness and power consumption of displays. Philips Research, together with the Eindhoven University of Technology and the University of Alberta, Canada, has developed world-leading technologies to these structures of liquid-crystals with precisely controlled 3-D dimensions.

The Electronic Ceramics group of the Philips Research Laboratories in Aachen, Germany has developed a new, miniaturized antenna for mobile communications. The Philips miniaturized antennas are about eight times smaller than conventional antennas but achieve the same performance. The development plays an essential role for future mobile telecoms applications, such as the wristwatch with a monitor-equipped telephone. In the past such applications were limited especially by the physical parameters of the antennas. The new miniature antennas could be brought to manufacturing standards thanks to the development of special hightech ceramics.
