Unraveling 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 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 کاملAg-mediated charge transport during metal-assisted chemical etching of silicon nanowires.
The charge transport mechanism during metal-assisted chemical etching of Si nanowires with contiguous metal films has been investigated. The experiments give a better insight how the charges and reaction products can penetrate to the etching front. The formation of a layer of porous Si between the metal film and the bulk Si is a prerequisite for the etching process. The electronic holes (positi...
متن کاملFabrication and photocatalytic properties of silicon nanowires by metal-assisted chemical etching: effect of H2O2 concentration
In the current study, monocrystalline silicon nanowire arrays (SiNWs) were prepared through a metal-assisted chemical etching method of silicon wafers in an etching solution composed of HF and H2O2. Photoelectric properties of the monocrystalline SiNWs are improved greatly with the formation of the nanostructure on the silicon wafers. By controlling the hydrogen peroxide concentration in the et...
متن کاملExploring the kinetics of ordered silicon nanowires with the formation of nanogaps using metal-assisted chemical etching.
Actual dimension control of silicon (Si) nanowire arrays was conducted using metal-assisted chemical etching on Si patterned by electron beam lithography. The appearance of nanogaps at the edge of each nanowire provides the diffusion pathways of reactants for Si dissolution, predominantly causing distinct etching rates that depend upon the spacings of nanogaps.
