One-step ion beam irradiation manufacture of 3D micro/nanopatterned structures in SiC materials with tunable work functions

The fabrication and design of high-quality three-dimensional (3D) micro/nanostructures are of great importance for the development of new technology. Herein, we report a one-step technique to controllably manufacture 3D micro/nanopatterned structures with tunable work functions in silicon carbide (SiC). The multiscale micro/nanopatterned structures were produced directly by ion beam irradiation-induced swelling with the assistance of masks. The minimum feature size was ?52?nm and the swelling height could be controlled flexibly from ?1 to ?250?nm. The change of work function of the 3D SiC micro/nanostructures could be tuned in the range between 0 and ?126.6?meV. Distinct rectifying junction behavior was demonstrated between the irradiated and unirradiated zones. The Young's modulus and hardness values of the irradiated zones stabilized at ?298.1?GPa and ?24.9?GPa, respectively.
