In this paper, we studied the optical and physical properties of electrochemically prepared porous silicon layers. The atomic force microscopy analysis showed that the etching depth, pore diameter and surface roughness increase as the etching time increased from 30 to 50 mA/cm2. By tuning two current densities J1 = 50 mA/cm2 and J2 = 30 mA/cm2, two samples of 1D porous silicon photonic crystals were fabricated. The layered structure of 1D photonic crystals has been confirmed by scanning electron microscopy measurement which showed white and black strips of two distinct refractive index layers. Finally, the measured reflectance spectra of 1D porous silicon photonic crystals were compared with simulated results. 相似文献

In order to understand the optical loss mechanisms in porous silicon based waveguides, structural and optical studies have been performed. Scanning and transmission electron microscopic observations of porous silicon layers are obtained before and after an oxidation process at high temperature in wet O2. Pore size and shape of heavily p-type doped Si wafers are estimated and correlated to the optical properties of the material before and after oxidation. The refractive index was measured and compared to that determined by the Bruggeman model. 相似文献

The mechanism of silicon epitaxy on porous Si(111) layers is investigated by the Monte Carlo method. The Gilmer model of adatom
diffusion extended to the case of arbitrary surface morphology is used. Vacancies and pendants of atoms are allowed in the
generalized model, the activation energy of a diffusion hop depends on the state of the neighboring positions in the first
and second coordination spheres, and neighbors located outside the growing elementary layer are also taken into account. It
is shown that in this model epitaxy occurs by the formation of metastable nucleation centers at the edges of pores, followed
by growth of the nucleation centers along the perimeter and the formation of a thin, continuous pendant layer. Three-dimensional
images of surface layers at different stages of epitaxy were obtained. The dependence of the kinetics of the epitaxy process
on the amount of deposited silicon is determined for different substrate porosities.

The (conduction) mobility of majority charge carriers in porous silicon layers of the n and p types is estimated by joint measurements of electrical conductivity and free charge carrier concentration, which is determined from IR absorption spectra. Adsorption of donor and acceptor molecules leading to a change in local electric fields in the structure is used to identify the processes controlling the mobility in porous silicon. It is found that adsorption of acceptor and donor molecules at porous silicon of the p and n types, respectively, leads to a strong increase in electrical conductivity, which is associated with an increase in the concentration of free carrier as well as in their mobility. The increase in the mobility of charge carriers as a result of adsorption indicates the key role of potential barriers at the boundaries of silicon nanocrystals and may be due to a decrease in the barrier height as a result of adsorption. 相似文献

This paper reports physical properties of porous silicon and oxidized porous silicon, manufactured by anodisation from heavily p-type doped silicon wafers as a function of experimental parameters. The growth rate and refractive index of the layers were studied at different applied current densities and glycerol concentrations in electrolyte. When the current density varied from 5 to 100 mA/cm2, the refractive index was between 1.2 and 2.4 which corresponded to a porosity range from 42 to 85%. After oxidation, the porosity decreased and was between 2 and 45% for a refractive index range from 1.22 to 1.46. The thermal processing also induced an increase in thickness which was dependent on the initial porosity. This increase in thickness was more important for the lowest porosities. Lastly, the roughness of the porous layer/silicon substrate interface was studied at different applied current densities and glycerol concentrations in solution. Roughness decreased when the current density or glycerol concentration increased. Moreover, roughness was also reduced by thermal oxidation. 相似文献

A series of porous silicon samples prepared at different etching parameters, namely etchant composition, etching time and current density, was investigated as substrates for surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS). Silver nanostructures were deposited on porous silicon by immersion plating method and Rhodamine 6G was used as analyte. The relation between the etching parameters, morphology of porous silicon surface and its SERS efficiency after silver deposition is examined. We show that a high HF content in the etchant allows the formation of a film with close-packed silver nanocrystals, which possess strong surface enhancement properties. 相似文献

Porous silicon layers (PSLs) were prepared by electrochemical etching of p-type single-crystalline silicon (c-Si) wafers having different dopant concentrations to obtain systematically changing sizes of nanocrystals (walls). The microstructure of the porous material was characterized using spectroscopic ellipsometry with multi-layer effective medium approximation (EMA) models. The dielectric function of PSL is conventionally calculated using EMA mixtures of c-Si and voids. The porosity is described by the concentration of voids. Some PSL structures can be described only by adding fine-grained polycrystalline silicon (nc-Si) reference material to the EMA model. Modified model dielectric functions (MDF) of c-Si have been shown to fit composite materials containing nanocrystalline regions, either by fitting only the broadening parameter or also other parameters of the parametric oscillator in MDF. The broadening parameter correlates with the long-range order in the crystalline material, and, as a consequence, with the size of nanocrystals. EMA and MDF models were used to describe systematically changing nanostructure of PSLs. Volume fraction of nc-Si in EMA and broadening parameter in MDF provide information on the nanocrystal size. The longer-term goal of this work is to provide a method for the quantitative characterization of nanocrystal size using quick, sensitive and non-destructive optical techniques. 相似文献

The ultrafast nonlinear optical properties of quantum well excitons have been studied extensively in recent years. Quantum well excitons, which are sharp and well-resolved at room temperature, are well suited to optoelectronics applications, having large electroabsorption response. In this review, we discuss experiments which use simultaneously the nonlinear optical response of the quantum well exciton and the electroabsorption response in order to characterize electrical signals in the femtosecond time scale. In addition, we discuss intrinsic speed limitations in excitonic optoelectronics and extensions to one- and two-dimensional spatiotemporal field mapping. 相似文献

In this work realistic biosensing structures based on the integration of porous silicon photonic crystals with polymer coating technology are presented. Microcavities and rugate filters are chosen as the photonic crystal configuration. The deposition of a polymer layer on the pore walls of these structures is proposed to improve the selectivity and sensitivity of the sensing function. A complete effective refractive index model including the polymer layer, the target and external effects like silicon oxidation has been developed in order to accurately simulate the structures. It is expected that the proposed structures could be used as low cost, highly integrated and highly sensitive biological sensors. 相似文献

The optical and structural properties of multilayer Si/Ge structures with precritical, as well as close-to-critical, germanium inclusions in a silicon matrix, for which the transition from the two-dimensional to island growth occurs, were studied. The possibility of obtaining intense photoluminescence at room temperature in both cases under optimally chosen growth parameters is demonstrated. The proposed approaches to producing an active region appear promising for applications in silicon-based optoelectronics. 相似文献

Birefringence in porous silicon layers prepared with different etching currents on a (110) substrate is studied by IR Fourier spectroscopy. The spectra exhibit beats in the intensity of transmitted and reflected radiation due to the summation of the intensities of the ordinary and extraordinary waves interfering in the porous layer. An analysis of the spectra shows the layers to exhibit properties of a negative uniaxial crystal with the optical axis lying in the layer plane. The difference between the refractive indices of the ordinary and extraordinary waves for a layer with a porosity of 80% reaches 18%. The experimental data are in agreement with the calculations based on the effective-medium approximation, which takes into account the anisotropy of silicon nanocrystal arrangement in a porous layer. 相似文献

The methods of infrared absorption spectroscopy and electron paramagnetic resonance are used for studying the effect of adsorption of NO2 molecules, which are strong acceptors of electrons, on the electronic and optical properties of silicon nanocrystals in mesoporous silicon layers. It is found that the concentration of free charge carriers (holes) in silicon nanocrystals, which exhibits a nonmonotonic dependence on the NO2 pressure, sharply increases in the presence of these molecules. At the same time, a monotonic increase in the concentration of dangling silicon bonds (Pb1 centers) is observed. A microscopic model proposed for explaining this effect presumes the formation of donor-acceptor pairs P + b1 -(NO2)? on the surface of nanocrystals, which ensure an increase in the hole concentration in nanocrystals, as well as Pb1 centers, which are hole-trapping centers. The proposed model successfully explains a substantial increase in photoconductivity (by two or three orders of magnitude) in the layers of porous silicon in the presence of NO2 molecules; the increment in the concentration of free charge carriers is detected within an order of magnitude of this quantity. The results can be used in designing electronic and luminescence devices based on silicon nanocrystals. 相似文献

Fabrication and tribological properties of super-hydrophobic surfaces based on porous silicon 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In the present work, super-hydrophobic surfaces based on porous silicon (PS) were constructed by the self-assembled molecular films and their tribological properties were investigated. A simple chemical etching approach was developed to fabricate PS with the certain rough microstructure surface, which can be observed by the environmental scanning electron microscopy (ESEM). The hydrocarbon and fluorocarbon alkylsilane molecular films were self-assembled on PS, which was confirmed by the X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) measurement. In contrast to PS, the alkylsilane molecular films modified PS (mPS) were super-hydrophobic since the apparent water contact angle (CA) exceeded 160°. The tribological properties of PS and the mPS were investigated by a ball-on-disk tribometer during the processes of different sliding velocities and normal loads. The experimental results showed that the alkylsilane molecular films could decrease the friction coefficient. Due to the difference of chain structure and functional groups, the fluorinated alkylsilane films are better candidates for improving the hydrophobicity and lubricating characteristics of PS comparing to the non-fluorinated ones. The carbon chain length of alkylsilane molecules self-assembling on the Si or PS substrates could have little effects on the hydrophobic properties and the tribology performances. 相似文献

We present the fabrication and characterization of high-quality-factor (Q) Si3N4 photonic crystal nanobeam cavities at visible wavelengths for coupling to nitrogen-vacancy centers in a cavity QED system. Confocal microphotoluminescence analysis of the nanobeam cavities demonstrates quality factors up to Q ~ 55,000, which are limited by the resolution of our grating spectrometer. This is a 1-order-of-magnitude improvement over previous SiNx cavities at this important wavelength range. We also demonstrate coarse tuning of cavity resonances across 600-700?nm by lithographically scaling the size of fabricated devices. 相似文献

New complex buffer layers based on a porous material have been developed for epitaxial growth of GaN films on Si substrates. The characteristics of gallium nitride heteroepitaxial layers grown on silicon substrates with new buffer layers by metal-organic vapor phase epitaxy are investigated. It is shown that the porous buffer layers improve the electric homogeneity and increase the photoluminescence intensity of epitaxial GaN films on Si substrates to the values comparable with those for reference GaN films on Al2O3 substrates. It is found that a fianite layer in a complex buffer is a barrier for silicon diffusion from the substrate into a GaN film. 相似文献

Porous silicon (PS) has a great potential in optical applications due to the tunability of its refractive index. However, the electrochemical formation parameters of porous silicon have a great influence both on porosity and pore morphology and, hence, on the optical properties of the PS layers. In the present work, the optical constants of PS layers are determined in the visible-wavelength range for different electrolyte compositions and for a wide range of formation-current densities. Thus, the interval of refractive indices that can be achieved for each electrolyte composition is studied, for the further development of interference filters. In particular, it is demonstrated that a higher ethanol concentration in the electrolyte leads to a considerably higher tunability of the refractive index of PS while reducing absorption losses. In addition, the performance of PS-based multilayer interference filters is shown to improve when formed with an electrolyte of higher ethanol concentration, especially in the blue region of the visible spectrum.

Superconducting transition edge sensor(TES) bolometers require superconducting films to have controllable transition temperatures T_c in different practical applications.The value of T_c strongly affects thermal conductivity and thermal noise performance of TES detectors.Al films doped with Mn(Al-Mn) of different concentrations can accomplish tunable T_(c.)A magnetron sputtering machine is used to deposit the Al-Mn films in this study.Fabrication parameters including sputtering pressure and annealing process are studied and their influences on T_c and superconducting transition width ΔT_c are optimized.The Al-Mn films with ΔT_c below 1.0 mK for T_c in a range of 520 mK-580 mK are successfully fabricated. 相似文献

Acoustic microsocopy methods and particularly microechography have made it possible to determine porosity and mechanical properties of porous silicon. Nevertheless, these techniques are limited when porosity becomes important or when the layer thickness is too thin. This problem can be solved by detecting and analysing guided waves in the layers (Lamb's waves) which are contained in the acoustic signature V(z). 相似文献

This paper presents a series of experimental photoacoustic spectra of porous silicon layers on crystalline silicon and their numerical analysis performed in the proposed two-layer model. The goal of the analysis was to calculate the optical absorption spectra of porous silicon from the photoacoustic spectra of porous silicon layers on a silicon background. The experimental character of the observed absorption band associated with the porous silicon was revealed. This is the first attempt at a theoretical interpretation of the photoacoustic spectra of porous silicon on a silicon backing. 相似文献
