Broad Ion Beam Irradiation Enables Self-Organization of Nanostructured Arrays

Many semiconductor devices in modern technology – from integrated circuits to solar cells and LEDs – are based on nanostructures. Producing arrays of regular nanostructures usually requires substantial effort. If they were self-organized, the production of such devices would be considerably faster and the costs would therefore sink.
