Abstract

Porous silicon (PS) layers are prepared by anodization fordifferent etching current densities. The samples are thencharacterized the nanocrystalline porous silicon layer by X-RayDiffraction (XRD), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), FourierTransform Infrared (FTIR). PS layers were formed on n-type Siwafer. Anodized electrically with a 20, 30, 40, 50 and 60 mA/cm2current density for fixed 10 min etching times. XRD confirms theformation of porous silicon, the crystal size is reduced towardnanometric scale of the face centered cubic structure, and peakbecomes a broader with increasing the current density. The AFMinvestigation shows the sponge like structure of PS at the lowercurrent density porous begin to form on the crystalline silicon, whenthe current density increases, pores with maximum diameter areformed as observed all over the surface. FTIR spectroscopy shows ahigh density of silicon bonds, it is very sensitive to the surroundingambient air, and it is possible to oxidation spontaneously.

Highlights

  • Crystalline silicon (C-Si) is one of the important material of the last century that has been the corner stone of the semiconductor industry and has spear headed extraordinary technological advancement

  • X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) confirms the formation of porous silicon, the crystal size is reduced toward nanometric scale of the face centered cubic structure, and peak becomes a broader with increasing the current density

  • The surface morphology properties prepared by Photo electrochemical etching (PECE) technique of (111) n-type silicon wafer was investigated using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM)
