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.

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.
