Nanostructures of n-type amorphous silicon (a-Si) and polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) with a height of 270 nm and line widths of 110-165 nm were fabricated directly onto a substrate through a simple imprinting process that does not require vacuum conditions or photolithography. The n-type Liquid-Si ink was synthesized via photopolymerization of cyclopentasilane (Si5H10) and white phosphorus (P4). By raising the temperature from 160 °C to 200 °C during the nanoimprinting process, well-defined angular patterns were fabricated without any cracking, peeling, or deflections. After the nanoimprinting process, a-Si was produced by heating the nanostructures at 400°C-700 °C, and poly-Si was produced by heating at 800 °C. The dopant P diffuses uniformly in the Si films, and its concentration can be controlled by varying the concentration of P4 in the ink. The specific resistance of the n-type poly-Si pattern was 7.0 × 10−3Ω ⋅ cm, which is comparable to the specific resistance of flat n-type poly-Si films.
