Abstract
This paper focuses on the study of the effect of anodic oxidation in porous silicon bilayers composed of two porous layers of different porosities. The order of the two types of layers has been alternated, and the thicknesses and refractive indices have been optically characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy. The results show that the refractive index of anodic oxidized porous silicon is reduced significantly with respect to just formed porous silicon. It is also observed that the quality of the oxidation is related to the porosity of the inner porous layer of the silicon bilayer structure. This effect is interpreted in terms of quantum size effects.
