Silicon superlattice

A silicon superlattice is a specially engineered material made by stacking extremely thin layers of silicon with other materials or different silicon structures. These alternating layers create a unique, repeating pattern at the atomic level, which can alter how electrons move through the material. This precise layering can improve electronic or optical properties, making superlattices useful in advanced electronic devices, solar cells, and sensors by enhancing performance or enabling new functionalities over standard silicon.
