Abstract

We studied the microstructure of two types of light emitting porous silicon (PS), as-etched and rapid thermal oxidized and of material prepared according to the siloxene recipe by Small-Angle X-Ray Scattering (SAXS). In all three types of samples we found particles with nanometer dimensions. The average particle size in as-etched PS is ingood agreement with results achieved by TEM and X-ray diffraction. Shape analysis shows, that the PS skeleton consists of cylindrical shaped particles with an average heigth of 20Å and a diameter of 40 Å.
