摘要:

The surface morphologies of porous silicon (PS), fabricated under various anodic etching conditions and on different typvs of silicon substrates, were studied using atomic force microscopy (AFM). The typical sizes of silicon crystallites of PS were found to be 4-10 nanome-ters,an expected for quantum confinement effect. The results suggested the doping concentration of silicon substrate plays an important role compared with the doping type in determining the surface microstructures. On p- PS samples, a step-like dependence of the PS crystallite size of HF etching concentration was observed for the first time,in nice agreement with the,tep-like photo-luminescence (PL) phenomenon. which strongly supported the quantum confinement model.
