Abstract

The characterization of porous silicon layers by optical reflectance spectroscopy in the infrared, visible and UV is presented. A fit of simulated to measured spectra is used to interprete the experimental results. We stress that the microgeometry of the porous system determines the optical properties to a large extent and must be taken into account in a correct way in order to achieve reliable results.
