| Abstract Scope |
Silicon has been one of the most well understood semiconductor materials in the literature. In spite of its mature knowhow and technology, there is a severe absence of the values of the optical constants, i.e., refractive index and extinction coefficient of monocrystalline silicon in the wavelength range of 1-10 microns, in the literature. These missing values are critical to fully simulate, model and understand the optical properties of silicon in the infrared range of wavelengths. The Forouhi-Bloomer dispersion equations have been utilized to predict the functions of the refractive index and extinction coefficient for the entire wavelength spectrum, including the sought 1-10 micron range. This study presents the calculations of the refractive index and extinction coefficient using the Forouhi-Bloomer dispersion equation, proposed in the 1987 paper and revisited in their 2019 paper. The calculated reflectivity and transmissivity are then analyzed and compared to prior findings in the literature. |
