Metal-assisted chemical etching of Ge(100) surfaces in water toward nanoscale patterning
We propose the metal-assisted chemical etching of Ge surfaces in water mediated by dissolved oxygen molecules (O2). First, we demonstrate that Ge surfaces around deposited metallic particles (Ag and Pt) are preferentially etched in water. When a Ge(100) surface is used, most etch pits are in the shape of inverted pyramids. The mechanism of this anisotropic etching is proposed to be the enhanced...
متن کاملMetal-assisted chemical etching in HFÕH2O2 produces porous silicon
A simple and effective method is presented for producing light-emitting porous silicon ~PSi!. A thin (d,10 nm! layer of Au, Pt, or Au/Pd is deposited on the ~100! Si surface prior to immersion in a solution of HF and H2O2 . Depending on the type of metal deposited and Si doping type and doping level, PSi with different morphologies and light-emitting properties is produced. PSi production occur...

متن کاملUnraveling the Morphological Evolution and Etching Kinetics of Porous Silicon Nanowires During Metal-Assisted Chemical Etching
Many potential applications of porous silicon nanowires (SiNWs) fabricated with metal-assisted chemical etching are highly dependent on the precise control of morphology for device optimization. However, the effects of key etching parameters, such as the amount of deposited metal catalyst, HF-oxidant molar ratio (χ), and solvent concentration, on the morphology and etching kinetics of the SiNWs...
متن کاملFabrication and Optical Characterization of Silicon Nanostructure Arrays by Laser Interference Lithography and Metal-Assisted Chemical Etching
In this paper metal-assisted chemical etching has been applied to pattern porous silicon regions and silicon nanohole arrays in submicron period simply by using positive photoresist as a mask layer. In order to define silicon nanostructures, Metal-assisted chemical etching (MaCE) was carried out with silver catalyst. Provided solution (or materiel) in combination with laser interference lithogr...
