Abstract:

Porous silicon samples were prepared by electrochemical etching method for different etching times. The structural properties of porous silicon (PS) samples were determined from the Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) measurements. The surface mean root square roughness (σ rms) changes as function of porosity were studied, and the influence of etching time on porosity and roughness was studied too. UV-Vis-NIR Spectrophotometer with integrating sphere accessory used to measure the specular reflectance (Rspec) and scattered light (Dsca) for all samples. Changes of scattered light intensity with σ rms were studied. Theoretical and measured values were compared and they were almost the same.

Influence of current density on refractive index of p-type nanocrystalline porous silicon

Porous Silicon (PS) layers have been prepared from p-type silicon wafers of (100) orientation. SEM, XRD, FTIR and PL studies were done to characterize the surface morphological and optical properties of PS. The porosity of the PS samples was determined using the parameters obtained from SEM images by geometric method. The refractive index values of the PS samples as a function of poros...

Fabrication of p-Type Nano-porous Silicon Prepared by Electrochemical Etching Technique in HF-Ethanol and HF-Ethanol-H2O Solutions

Nano-porous silicon were simply prepared from p-type single crystalline silicon wafer by electrochemical etching technique via exerting constant current density in two different HF-Ethanol and HF-Ethanol-H2O solutions. The mesoporous silicon layers were characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and scanning electron microscopy. The results demonstrate that the width of nano-p...
