Abstract

It is well established that controlled high-temperature annealing of hydrogen silsesquioxane leads to the formation of small spherical silicon nanocrystals (∼3 nm). The present study outlines an investigation into the influence of annealing time and temperature. After prolonged annealing, crystal surfaces thermodynamically self-optimize to form a variety of faceted structures (e.g., cubic, truncated trigonal and hexagonal structures).
