TL;DR: In this paper, an overview of the fabrication methods of black silicon, their resulting morphologies, and a quantitative comparison of their optoelectronic properties is presented, where the optical absorption and the minority carrier lifetime are used as benchmark parameters.

TL;DR: In this article, the morphology and the electronic properties of monocrystalline Si with a nano-textured "black" surface, obtained by a metal-catalyzed wet etching process, and the improvement by an additional chemical treatment are examined with regard to solar cell applications.

TL;DR: It is argued that Erasable PUFs could be implemented securely via ALILE-based crossbar structures due to the observed security issue in protocols for session key exchange that are based on Strong Physical Unclonable Functions.

TL;DR: In this paper, random diodes with irregular I(U) curves are used to build Strong Physical Unclonable Functions (PUFs), Certificates of Authenticity (COAs), and Physically Obfuscated Keys (POKs).

TL;DR: Novel applications of crossbars as various types of so‐called physical unclonable functions (PUFs) in the field of physical cryptography, a recent branch of cryptography and security that exploits the inherent, small‐scale randomness and disorder in physical structures.
