All manifestations of pores in silicon are reviewed and discussed with respect to possible applications. Particular emphasis is put on macropores, which are classified in detail and reviewed in the context of pore formation models. Applications of macro-, meso-, and micropores are discussed separately together with some consideration of specific experimental topics. A brief discussion of a stochastic model of Si electrochemistry that was found useful in guiding experimental design for specific pore formation concludes the paper.read more

TL;DR: The differential reflectivity of adjacent stripes enables identification of the striping patterns by conventional light microscopy, and this readout mechanism does not interfere with the use of fluorescence for detection of analytes bound to particles by affinity capture, as demonstrated by DNA and protein bioassays.

Unusually low surface-recombination velocity on silicon and germanium surfaces.
TL;DR: It is found that a standard, widespread, chemical-preparation method for silicon, oxidation followed by an HF etch, results in a surface which from an electronic point of view is remarkably inactive, which has implications for the ultimate efficiency of silicon solar cells.

The Physics of Macropore Formation in Low‐Doped p‐Type Silicon
Volker Lehmann,S. Ronnebeck +1 more
TL;DR: In this article, the pore walls in hydrofluoric acid are caused by a depletion of holes due to the n-type doping of the substrate, and the dimensions of the pores are estimated based on these findings.
