Fabrication and Optical Characterization of Silicon Nanostructure Arrays by Laser Interference Lithography and Metal-Assisted Chemical Etching
In this paper metal-assisted chemical etching has been applied to pattern porous silicon regions and silicon nanohole arrays in submicron period simply by using positive photoresist as a mask layer. In order to define silicon nanostructures, Metal-assisted chemical etching (MaCE) was carried out with silver catalyst. Provided solution (or materiel) in combination with laser interference lithogr...
متن کاملThe Enhanced Light Absorptance and Device Application of Nanostructured Black Silicon Fabricated by Metal-assisted Chemical Etching
We use metal-assisted chemical etching (MCE) method to fabricate nanostructured black silicon on the surface of C-Si. The Si-PIN photoelectronic detector based on this type of black silicon shows excellent device performance with a responsivity of 0.57 A/W at 1060 nm. Silicon nanocone arrays can be created using MCE treatment. These modified surfaces show higher light absorptance in the near-in...
متن کاملNanowires fine tunable fabrication by varying the concentration ratios, the etchant and the plating spices in metal-assisted chemical etching of silicon wafer.
The metal-assisted chemical etching (MACE) was used to synthesis silicon nanowires. The effect of etchant concentration, etching and chemical plating time and doping density on silicon nanowires length were investigated. It is held that the increasing of HF and H2O2 concentrations lead to etching rate increment and formation of wire-like structure. The results show that, the appropriate ratio o...
متن کاملInvestigation of HF/H2O2 Concentration Effect on Structural and Antireflection Properties of Porous Silicon Prepared by Metal-Assisted Chemical Etching Process for Photovoltaic Applications
Porous silicon was successfully prepared using metal-assisted chemical etching method. The Effect of HF/H2O2 concentration in etching solution as an affecting parameter on the prepared porosity type and size was investigated. Field emission electron microscopy (FE-SEM) confirmed that all etched samples had porous structure and the sample which was immersed into HF/H2O2 withmolar ratio of 7/3.53...
متن کاملFabrication and photocatalytic properties of silicon nanowires by metal-assisted chemical etching: effect of H2O2 concentration
In the current study, monocrystalline silicon nanowire arrays (SiNWs) were prepared through a metal-assisted chemical etching method of silicon wafers in an etching solution composed of HF and H2O2. Photoelectric properties of the monocrystalline SiNWs are improved greatly with the formation of the nanostructure on the silicon wafers. By controlling the hydrogen peroxide concentration in the et...
