TL;DR: Pores in single crystalline semiconductors can be produced in a wide range of geometries and morphologies, including the “nano” regime as mentioned in this paper, and they may have properties completely different from the bulk, and optical properties not encountered in natural materials are emerging.
Abstract: Pores in single crystalline semiconductors can be produced in a wide range of geometries and morphologies, including the “nano” regime. Porous semiconductors may have properties completely different from the bulk, and metamaterials with e.g. optical properties not encountered in natural materials are emerging. Possible applications of porous semiconductors include various novel sensors, but also more “exotic” uses as, e.g. high explosives or electrodes for micro fuel cells. The paper briefly reviews pore formation (including more applied aspects of large area etching), properties of porous semiconductors and emerging applications.
