Macropore Formation

Tuning the pore diameter of porous silicon (PS) is essential for some applications such as biosensing, where the pore size can filter the entrance of some analytes or increase its sensitivity. However, macropore (>50 nm) formation on p-type silicon is still poorly known due to the strong dependence on resistivity. Electrochemically etching heavily doped p-type silicon usually forms micropores (<5 nm), but it has been found that bigger sizes can be achieved by adding an organic solvent to the electrolyte. In this work, we present the results of using dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO), potassium hydroxide (KOH) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for macropore formation in p-type silicon with a resistivity between 0.001 and 0.02 Ω∙cm, achieving pore sizes from 5 to 100 nm.

The promotion of silicon (Si) from being the key material for microelectronics to an interesting material for optoelectronic application is a consequence of the possibility to reduce its device dimensionally by a cheap and easy technique. In fact, electrochemical etching of Si under controlled conditions leads to the formation of nanocrystalline porous silicon (PS) where quantum confinement of photo excited carriers and surface species yield to a band gap opening and an increased radiative transition rate resulting in efficient light emission. In the present study, the nanostructured PS samples were prepared using anodic etching of p-type silicon. The effect of current density on structural and optical properties of PS, has been investigated. XRD studies confirm the presence of silicon nanocrystallites in the PS structure. By increasing the current density, the average estimated values of grain size are found to be decreased. SEM images indicate that the pores are surrounded by a thick columnar network of silicon walls. The observed PL spectra at room temperature for all the current densities confirm the formation of PS structures with nanocrystalline features. PL studies reveal that there is a prominent visible emission peak at 606 nm. The obtained variation of intensity in PL emission may be used for intensity varied light emitting diode applications. These studies confirm that the PS is a versatile material with potential for optoelectronics application.

AbstractThe optical properties of both electrochemically anodized and chemically stain-etched porous silicon are presented. Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy showed that absorbance in stain-etched samples was 3x and 1.7x greater than in anodized samples for the SiH/SiH2 stretch and scissors-bending modes, respectively. Also, oxygen is detected in stain-etched samples immediately after formation, unlike anodized samples. Photoluminescence measurements showed different steady state characteristics. Electrochemical-etched silicon samples stored in air increased in photoluminescent intensity over time, unlike the stain-etched samples. A photoluminescent device made by anodization on epitaxial p-type material (0.4 Ωm) on n-type substrate (0.1 Ω-cm) did not exhibit electroluminescence.

Utilizing porous silicon as a reducing agent and a substrate, gold complex ions [AuCl4]- were reduced from aqueous solution to produce nanoparticles of gold upon the surface of porous silicon. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was utilized to study the morphology of the porous silicon layers and the deposits of gold nanoparticles. It is found that preparation conditions have a profound effect on the morphology of the deposits, especially on porous silicon prepared from a p-type wafer. The gold nanoparticles, varying from micrometric aggregates of clusters of the order of 10 nm, to a distribution of nearly spherical clusters of the order of 10 nm, to strings of ~10 nm were observed and compared to bulk gold metal using X-ray diffraction (XRD), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), and X-ray absorption spectroscopy (XAS). These techniques confirm and complement the SEM findings. The potential for this reductive deposition technique is noted.Key words: gold nanostructures, reductive deposition, porous silicon, morphology, X-ray spectroscopy.
