Abstract

The formation of porous silicon (PS) by electrochemical dissolution of bulk Si is described by a new model involving quantum mechanical calculations of the tunneling probability of holes through small crystallites (< 60 Å) into the electrolyte. This tunneling probability shows oscillations as a function of crystallite size. The presented model calculations are in agreement to the microstructure of p-PS — deduced from Raman measurements — as a function of etching parameters and substrate doping level.
