Silicon's pre-eminence in high-speed digital electronics does not extend to optoelectronics where the demand is for devices that can generate, guide, detect and process light. However, the properties of silicon are dramatically altered when it is reduced to nanometre dimensions. Advances in the understanding of such effects and in the fabrication and application of nanoscale silicon have provided the prospect of new and innovative Si-based photonic devices, and of fully integrated electronic and photonic functionality. This project aims to extend the understanding of nanoscale silicon and to develop and prototype novel Si-based photonic devices based on this material.

硅在高速数字电子领域的卓越地位并没有延伸到光电子领域，光电子领域的需求是能够产生、引导、检测和处理光的设备。然而，当硅被减小到纳米尺寸时，其性质发生了显着变化。对这种效应的理解以及纳米硅的制造和应用的进展为新型和创新的硅基光子器件以及完全集成的电子和光子功能提供了前景。该项目旨在扩展对纳米硅的理解，并开发基于这种材料的新型硅基光子器件并制作原型。
