ABSTRACTPorous silicon which has been prepared by a “dry” technique, that is, by spark erosion, yields similar photoluminescence spectra as anodically etched porous silicon which has been prepared in aqueous solutions. Fourier transform infrared spectra reveal that the dominant features in spark eroded silicon are the Si-O-Si stretching mode and the Si-O-Si bending mode. No infrared vibrational modes characteristic for siloxene have been found in spark eroded Si. Results from X-ray and electron diffraction studies suggest that spark eroded Si involves minute polycrystalline silicon particles which are imbedded in an amorphous matrix.

It has been shown that the intensive and broad "red" photoluminescence band in porous silicon is a nonelementary one and could be decomposed on at least three elementary bands. Photoluminescence, ultrasoft X-ray emission spectroscopy, infrared absorption and atomic force microscopy methods were used to study the reasons for both luminescence band appearance in porous silicon photoluminescence spectra, prepared in different technological conditions. The mechanisms of radiative transition for both elementary bands have been discussed as well.

ABSTRACTPhotoluminescence spectra have been measured in porous silicon following electrochemical etching in dilute hydrofluoric acid (HF). The effects of HF concentration during etching on the efficiency and peak wavelength of photoluminescence have been investigated. The effects of temperature between 25°C and 200°C on PL spectra have been recorded. Photoluminescence lifetimes as a function of wavelength have been studied following ultrashort UV photoexcitation. A number of lifetime components in the decay are observed the longest in good agreement over the wavelength range of 500 to 600 nm with a silicon quantum wire model. At longer wavelengths a departure from lifetimes of the wire model is observed and two hypotheses for the discrepancy are presented.

Porous Silicon (PSi) is synthesized by Ag assisted electroless etching and characterized by Scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The effect of etching time on the optical reflectivity, optical absorbance of PSi is investigated. Reflectivity measurements showed that 45% reflectivity Si wafers drops from 45% to 10% for 2 hours etching and 6% for 3 hours etching. The decrease in the reflectivity shows that the PSi can be employed as an anti reflecting substrate in optoelectronic devices. The absorbance measurements reveal that the average absorbance of PSi is 0.60 in the wavelength range 300-800 nm after 2 hours etching. From the photoluminescence spectra it was found that PL intensity of PSi is high compared to bare silicon wafer. Static water contact angle measurements were performed to examine the hydrophobic properties of the PSi prepared under different conditions.
