Biosensing using Porous Silicon Photonic Bandgap Structures
Photonic bandgap (PBG) structures have remarkable optical properties that can be exploited for biosensing applications. We describe the fabrication of 1-D PBG biosensors using porous silicon. The optical properties of porous silicon PBGs are sensitive to small changes of refractive index in the porous layers, which makes them a good sensing platform capable of detecting binding of the target mo...
متن کاملOptical DNA Sensing Based on Resonant Porous Silicon Structures
Porous silicon is a suitable host material for biosensing applications due to its high surface area to volume ratio, which enables substantial infiltration of biomolecules. Resonant waveguides can be fabricated from porous silicon based on a two layer porous silicon structure. Light is coupled into the waveguide only at a particular angle of incidence. Biomolecular binding inside the pores indu...
متن کاملOptimization of the nanoporous silicon structures by magnesiothermic reduction of the as-synthesized silica
Nanoporous silicon powder was produced via efficient magnesiothermic reduction. In this work, the thermal effect and reduction process time were investigated on the porous silicon structure. The nanoporous silicon powders were characterized by X-ray diffraction analysis and field emission scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrate that porous structure was changed to homogeneous and...

متن کاملInvestigation of HF/H2O2 Concentration Effect on Structural and Antireflection Properties of Porous Silicon Prepared by Metal-Assisted Chemical Etching Process for Photovoltaic Applications
Porous silicon was successfully prepared using metal-assisted chemical etching method. The Effect of HF/H2O2 concentration in etching solution as an affecting parameter on the prepared porosity type and size was investigated. Field emission electron microscopy (FE-SEM) confirmed that all etched samples had porous structure and the sample which was immersed into HF/H2O2 withmolar ratio of 7/3.53...
