Summary
1D-semiconductor nanomaterial-based hybrids exhibit outstanding optical, electronic, and mechanical properties, which lead to various potential applications in nanoelectronics, optoelectronics, nanophotonics, chemical, and biosensors. Si nanostructure-based hybrids, in particular, have emerged as an exceptional hybrid system due to its compatibility with currently existing semiconductor technology and the ability of miniaturization in microelectronics. This chapter represents the fabrication and the applications of Si nanostructure-based hybrids in surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) and photodetectors.
