In the quantum system of Si nanowire (NW), the energy bandgap obviously increases with decreasing radius size of NW, in which the quantum confinement (QC) effect plays a main role. Furthermore, the simulation result demonstrated that the direct bandgap can be obtained as the NW diameter is smaller than 3 nm in Si NW with (001) direction. However, it is discovered in the simulating calculation that the QC effect disappears as the NW diameter arrives at size of monoatomic line, in which its bandgap sharply deceases where the abrupt change effect in bandgap energy occurs near the idea quantum wire. In the experiment, we fabricated the Si NW structure by using annealing and pulsed laser deposition methods, in which a novel way was used to control the radius size of Si NW by confining cylinder space of NW in nanolayer. It should have a good application on optic-electronic waveguide of silicon chip.
