AbstractWe have measured micro-photoluminescence (PL) and micro-Raman spectra on the cross section of porous silicon multilayers to sample different layer depths. We find noticeable differences in the spectra of layers with different porosity, as expected from the quantum confinement of electrons and phonons in silicon nanocrystals with different average sizes. The PL emission band gets stronger, blue shifts, and narrows at the high porosity layers. The average size can be estimated from the shift. The Raman phonon band at 520 cm−1 weakens and broadens asymmetrically towards the low energy side. The line shape can be related quantitatively with the average size by the phonon confinement model. To get a good agreement with the model we add a band at around 480 cm−1, which has been attributed to amorphous silicon. We also have to leave as free parameters the bulk silicon phonon frequency and its line width, which depend on temperature and stress. We reduced laser power to eliminate heating effects. Then we use the change of frequency with depth to monitor the stress. At the interface with the substrate we find a compressive stress in excess of 10 kbar, which agrees with the reported lattice mismatch. Finally, average sizes are larger than those estimated from PL.

We investigated the Raman spectra as a function of the total electric charge consumed in forming porous silicon. It was found that the Raman peak shifted to the lower wave number side as the total electric charge increased. However, the width of the Raman line was insensitive to the total electric charge. It shows the size of nanocrystallites can be widely ranged regardless of the degree of electrochemical reactions during anodization.

We report the relation between the catalyst patterning conditions and the intensity of the 1st order Raman active modes in Au-catalyzed GaAs nanowire bundles. We fabricated e-beam lithographically Au-patterned GaAs(111)B substrates by varying the patterning conditions (e-beam dose rate, dot-size and interdot-spacings), and grew GaAs nanowires via vapor–liquid–solid process using a solid-source molecular beam epitaxy. To understand the effects of the substrate preparation conditions and resulting morphologies on the optical characteristics of 1st order transverse optical and longitudinal optical phonon modes of GaAs, we characterized the nanowire bundles using complementary μ-Raman spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy as a function of the e-beam dose rate (145–595 μC/cm2), inter-dot spacing (100 and 150 nm) and pattern size (100 and 150 nm). Ensembles of single crystalline GaAs nanowires covered with different Au-thickness exhibit a downshift and asymmetric broadening of the 1st order transverse optical and longitudinal optical phonon peaks relative to GaAs bulk modes. We also showed that the sensitivity of a downshift and broadening of Raman spectra are directly related to morphological and surface coverage variations in as-grown nanowires. We observed clear increases of the transverse optical and longitudinal optical intensity as well as the relatively higher peak shift and broadening of Raman spectra from the 100 nm patterning in response to the dose rate change. Strong dependence of Raman spectra of the nanowire bundles on the e-beam dose rate changes are attributed to the variations in spatial density, size, shape and random growth orientation of the wires. We have shown that the identification of the changes in GaAs longitudinal optical and Arsenic anti-site peaks is good indicators to characterize the quality of as-grown GaAs nanowires. Our finding confirms the utilization of Raman spectroscopy as a powerful tool for characterizing chemical, structural, and morphological information of as-grown nanowires within the supporting substrate.
